    If you ask me, I will go for Ray Z just by its looks...Looks better than the rest of the field. But practicality is important here. I guess the 2017 Ray Z has telescopic suspension with Disc brakes at the front. Leg space needs to be considered. I guess Jupiter scores better in that. You can still find enough leg room inspite of keeping luggage in the front.

    Since she has shrunk her options to those 2, I am not sure about Wego , I haven't driven one. Somebody else can pitch in their views.

      Both are good , but my personal preference is ray, I haven't ridden the new wego with the improved engine but the old one was not so joy to ride even if it gives good rider balance.
      Ask her why she don't like Jupiter, if it is the bulky size it is not a problem , Jupiter feels like a scooty with more power and comfort on the move.
      Also take proper test rides before zeroing down.

        Suzuki Access is lighter than Ray and Jupiter, the performance is amazing.
        Best scooter out there.
        Get your wife a test ride and decide.

          My priorities are given below..

          1.Front Telescopic suspension
          2.110 CC
          3.Good handling
          4.Reliability
          5.Comfortable(especially backbone friendly)
          6.Suitable for ladies(5'5' height')

          Due to the priority No.1&2, I have short listed the following vehicles

          1.Yamaha RayZ
          2.Hero Maestro Edge
          3.TVS Jupiter
          4.TVS Wego

          Please help me in selecting the most comfortable & reliable one from the list suitable for my wife...please..
          My approach in this area is different. When selecting a scooter for your better half, don't go by technology alone. Consider factors such as, Storage space, mobile charger, whether you want fuel cap under the seat or outside. Since it shall be used solely by your wife, you should consider one who has service centres nearest to your house so should the need ever arise for her to take the bike to service centre herself (or call for breakdown assistance ever) then that shall be easier and faster. Other than that Colors' option too would matter I suppose.

          Other than that, all scoters are quite reliable these days as long as you service them in time.

            New Wego shares the same engine with Jupiter... So the engine performance should be same... What about comfort...?

              I feel more comfortable in Jupiter, maybe because of more leg space and bigger seats also when riding we don't feel that bulky nature.
              I even went for booking Jupiter but at last moment backed out and bought myself a Vespa. (only reason I went for Vespa is due to the love in my heart for her)

                All brands service centers are available and at the same distance...around 20 km away. Feature wise TVS leads the rest....

                  @ the TS .. have you decided anything yet?
                  A bike on the road is worth two in the shed.
