Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

I am 6.6" in height weight almost similar to you

If you ask from me ... CBR250 ABS(lucky if you get from second hand market), Dominor ABS.

Please purchase ABS enabled bike if life is your priority ...

But currently i am using hero maestro due to my short run (home<->Metro Station)

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

My usage is max 8 kms per day. Local shopping etc. I feel scooter is best. Any particular model for our height or all scooters more or less the same? Thanks for your reply.

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim


As i said.. I am using maestro since 2015 no back issue at all... you may check jupiter also.. rest all look small in front of me ..

Sr Race is Okiesh... but again its not practice scooter at all.

One thing i want to share i had just replaced telescopic back shocker (hero) to gas charged shocker (same used in TVS jupiter)

You make check :- the following

1. honda grazia
2. Hero Maestro
3. Jupitor
4. Suzuki Access.

Just keep below point in mind..

1. As usage is for small distance dont run for mileage (any scooter can give you mileage between 45-55 KMPL) .. I am getting 40KMPL

2. Check Seat Storage area and external fuel lid opener

3. spare part availability and its cost.

4. metallic body is always heavier than fiber body (maestro having the same)

5. Most of the scooter come with 12" wheel in front 10" in back .. ( i Dont know whats the use of this .. I think jupitor is the only scooter having same wheel on both 12" check yourself)

6. Check how easy to take turn while having both legs on floor of the scooter( I hope you get my intuition here, longer ppls always having knee issue while turning)

If you ask me ..

I shall check new honda grazia first
Then
Jupiter ( as i already own maestro)
then access

A Big NO to activa ... i hate to be in crowded... rest this is your personal choice... try to take 125cc scooter .. its helps you alot if possible check alloy with disc brake...

scooter always have weak brake no matter if its having combi or CBS brake system

Good Luck ..

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

Many thanks for taking time out for your exhaustive reply. You have given me good points i need to consider prior to purchase. Will definitely look into Grazia. Thanks again.

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

I suggest you take a look at Activa 125 or Suzuki Access. Activa 125 would be a bit more refined but i prefer the access dues to the larger seat area, cheaper spares.
Grazia looks sporty but the above scooters are more practical.
I have a 2012 model suzuki swish. Mileage is around 36-40. It is a low maintenance vehicle.
The 100/110cc scooters are low on torque and you would be better suited to a 125cc scooter.

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

Bro pls compare the specs of three scooter s ... Grazia is stylish , comfortable, practical

Comparison between grazia and access

Re: Comfortable bike for a back pain victim

you need a light bike with good suspension (no need for power), i owned unicorn previously it is not light and dificult to access/ take it out from crowded parking lots. I suggest you to test ride TVS Victor(110 cc) atleast once and decide...
