Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is a better choice: TVS NTORQ 125, Suzuki Acess or TVS Jupiter?
  • All three vehicles are good in their own forte. The latest variants of the NTorq offer something for everyone - the base model for the budget conscious, the Race XP for those who crave performance, and the XT for those who value tech. Truly one of the best scooters in India. On the other hand, the competition offers much more than just an LED headlight, an external fuel filler, an eco-assist indicator, and fuel injection. But being liberal with features wasn’t one of Suzuki’s strengths in the first place; its sweet little engine is what got people hooked on to it. The sheer eagerness and refinement of the motor along with its ease of use put other scooters to shame, thus setting a new benchmark in the 125cc family scooter segment. And the TVS Jupiter 125 is an excellent scooter when it comes to comfort and practicality. Its performance and fuel efficiency are also decent for a scooter in its segment. However, its high price tag is a bit of a bummer, as you find more features in its rivals at the same price point. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Which is the best scooter between, NTORQ 125, SR 160 or Aerox 155?
  • Right
  • I prefer you aerox because its have dual suspension setup and more good feature
  • All three scooters are good in their forte. If you're looking for a fast, fun to ride and feature-rich scooter, the TVS Ntorq 125 is the right choice for you. It still remains the benchmark for performance in its class and the sporty styling adds to its appeal. Our only grouse is the premium pricing post the BS6 update. Whereas Aprilia SR 160 features an updated motor that offers more performance than before, Fuel-injection makes for a smoother motor, the best handling scooter in the country. On the other hand, At Rs 1.29 lakh, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is the most expensive scooter manufactured in India. The Aerox isn’t a practical scooter and clearly doesn’t offer great value. What it offers in abundance, however, is uniqueness, excitement and fun! Yamaha could have taken the easier way out with the NMax, but they chose to go bold and offered us something distinct and youthful. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.

Q. Is Vespa ZX 125 better or Vespa VXL 150 for semi hilly areas for a senior citizens?
  • Selecting between the Vespa ZX 125 and Vespa VXL 150 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the engine, features, drivability, etc. If budget is not a constraint, then you may go with the VXL 150. The iconic Vespa is much sought-after because of its funky design and reasonably powerful engine. Apart from the new paint schemes and alloy wheels, the brand has updated the scooter with smartphone connectivity as well. Called the Vespa Connectivity app, it lets users access their scooter’s details like service history and last-parked location on their smartphones. The Panic Alert feature helps the user to reach out to the pre-set emergency contact with the current location, should anything unfortunate occur. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for details.Read More: -
