Now am back to Bullet 500. Your requirements may be different but consider all aspects before selling. Also the price you'll get is less than half of what you paid. Cumbersome - is one reason I want to sell off thunderbird and get a simple scooter. What was your issue with Activa? That was my next bet after electrics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the brakes don't give any confidence that it'll actually stop in an emergency. Wife drives it now and i still use it for simple errands within colony. For me it's not for actual roads. Again your requirements may be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KunjanPSD Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) We need to replace our scooty too. The use case is just daily errands and once in a while to/fro from malls. I know only about Activa & Jupiter. Not looking at electrics, can't find a reliable charging solution. Please suggest.

They keep releasing newer models every year. Best is to visit the showroom and get the one which suits your height the best. Between these aren't the only two worth checking out. There are plenty of bike styled scooters out as well but those are pretty costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Access or Activa. I would stay away from TVS as I feel it looses its power after 30k kilometres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there’s very little difference between 5g and 6g. Activa is used by workers to deliver our products locally. My wife uses access and it’s good, you could test ride both access and Activa 125 and decide. Personally I would pick any 125cc over 100 or 110cc scooter.

Just wants me to buy whatever is the best. I don't have much experience with 2Ws. He is coming from a 25yr old Chetak, so he doesn't care, everything will be an upgrade.

Then pick any scooter which has service center near to your place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They provide the service free afaik but you have to pay for the cable beyond a certain length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Car makers are really trying to squeeze every dime out. Next would be online subscription for using airbags as a Special Safety feature.
