    URGENT! Scooter Needed for Student with Best Mileage

    I'm a student and I need a scooter for total daily Commute Of 30KMs...My Budget is around 50-57K..Since bikes aren't allowed in our high-school...so i need a scooter to commute to school daily which is around 15Kms from my home...Since the roads here are bumpy due to construction of six lane,so I need good suspension preferably...And I'm a complete newbie to the world of motorcycles...I've also driven my friend's ACTIVA a couple of times...And,More mileage gets more prefernce!!!
    1.Budget is upto 57K
    2.I'm a 5.6 guy weighing 60kGS
    3.CC's don't matter much
    4.30-35 Kms of travelling almost everyday
    5.I ride most of the time Alone
    6.I prefer TVS or Honda
    7.Want a good mix of Style and Mileage
    8.I live in Jamshedpur
    9.This is my first venture in the world of bikes

    I think you should look at the TVS Wego as a solution to most of your problems.

    This comparo should help you shortlist

    Advice is a form of nostalgia.
    Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

      I suggest you to get the new Dio. Looks contemporary and stylish. The 109cc engine is a gem and is more fuel efficient than any other scooters.

        i suggest mahindra rodeo.
        since you mentioned about bumpy roads it will make you satisfied.

        fully loaded.
        make sure you do your run in properly. never cross 40 and use the accelerator lightly for the first 1000 km. there after you can increase the speeds
        but first and foremost the engine needs to get sealed properly during breaking it in. any scoot or bike for that matter.
        the rodeo is fuel efficient too. that said no scooter will be efficient if you ride it hard. be it activa!

        my uncle bought a flyte and he is glad he did not buy the heavier activa.

        happy hunting or should i say happy shopping

          First thing, you said you are in a school? How old are you? It may not be illegal to own a scooter, but riding without licence is surely not good.

          Second, your budget is enough for any scooter. Considering the bad road conditions you require telescopic suspensions which is not present in dio/activa, the cost of ownership may be less but the price of maintenance is costlier than others so its really not worth option unless you have resale in mind. Remember here you will be buying an relatively outdated technology, not for its ride comfort but for looks and good resale value. Same goes for Suzuki Access which is little pricy and heavy for you.

          TVS wego and Mahindra rodeo Rz are two cool options which come with good suspension and road clearance, great stability while riding. So I suggest you test drive both. Mileage in rodeo is little better also its lighter feel to ride. Choice is yours.

          Remember: Always wear a helmet, and no stunts please.

          There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. So ride safe when you are treading uncharted roads.

            Scooter for High-School ? Are you eligble for a license? I would rather if people proceed with their suggestions after you clarify this...

              I think I qualify for a gearless license since I'm 17...Don't I?

                I think you qualify for a gearless under 50CC vehicle under our archaic laws.

                First license then riding.

                XBHP promotes safe riding which includes following the rules. ( I think )

                  And slow chugging battery operated scooters that I don't like to recommend.

                    Age-old suspension doesn't mean it is disintegrated. Its still good and does well on our roads. I have used both Activa and Aviator; though Aviator has new-age front telescopic suspension, its on stiff side and it feels as good as the linked-suspension of Activa at slower speeds. Only at high speeds the suspension of Aviator feels superior. Dio has the same suspension, and unlike Activa, has better dynamics (handling).

                    If you want telescopic suspension, you can go for Aviator. Looks decent and built for male sex. The seating position is excellent than any other scooter and the leg space and boot space is very spacious and practical. The 109cc engine of the Honda is superior than any other scooter engine and is more reliable and fuel efficient.

                    If you don't like the above, as you liked, you can go for Wego.

                      Then,How come other 17-year olds get gearless licenses and how come schools allow such???

                      Yeah...Aviator is also one of my choices...And one more question?Is disc brake beneficial in aviator,If suppose i get the disc brake one?

                        My first choice in scooters is Aviator with disc. I have used Aviator disc version for 9k kms. Its handling is superior with disc brake. I was saved from hitting the front vehicle a few times due to the disc.

                            You don't get suspension like bikes in scooters. The scooters have small wheels and the suspension play is less compared to bikes. So, all scooters have inferior ride quality compared to bikes. The Aviator's suspension is similar to bikes, but its slightly set to be on stiffer side. You feel the bumps at lower speeds, but it won't be bone braking (unless you fill high tyre pressure like 30 at front and 40 at rear; you need to fill air exactly as mentioned in manual). Unlike other scooters, the bike will not get unsettled in potholes and maintains good composure all times. Turning is easy due to fron 12-inch wheel.

                            Regarding engine, I used Aviator with the old 100 cc engine. The new engine is now 109 cc with little more power and more FE than old engine. I got a consistent mileage of 45-50 kmpl with sane riding in mixed traffic. The new engine is 10 more fuel efficient. One of our members bought Aviator with the new engine and told me he is getting an FE of 50-53 kmpl with sane riding.
