10 Scooters In India With The Most Spacious Underseat Storage

Our Ola S1 Pro experience left us with a good taste. The initial bugs and glitches that were reported by customers seem to have been sorted and our ride went smoothly without a hassle. Of course, there are the good and bad bits, but overall, the Ola S1 Pro is a good package, offers good performance, is practical and has lots of tech. It is fun to ride, nimble, agile making it easier for you to filter through traffic.

The Ola S1 Air offers a more affordable entry point into the Ola S1 family and is offered in a choice of different battery packs with varying ranges. On the look of it, the Ola S1 Air sounds promising, but is still a pricey proposition. Besides, its availability is under a question mark.

The TVS Jupiter is possibly one of the best scooter on sale in India right now. The Jupiter offers a superb blend of fuel economy, universally appealing design, comfortable ride quality and ergonomics and peppy engine, along with large underseat storage space. Good build quality, decent features list, as well as wide and comfortable seat and footboard makes it a very good choice in the 110 cc scooter segment.

The TVS iQube is TVS Motor Company's electric scooter designed for customers looking to replace conventional scooters with an electric scooter. The iQube certainly makes a strong impression. The range works as claimed, offering around 95 km with a combined use of both Eco and Power, which is enough range for everyday use. What it requires is more performance, although it does achieve its claimed top speed of 78 kmph in Power mode quite effortlessly.

All the negatives you will soon forget, as soon as you fire up the Aerox 155 and go for a ride. Yes, it's that good! The Yamaha Aerox 155 isn't what you'd call an affordable, or practical, everyday scooter. In terms of fuel consumption, it returned 33-34 KM/L during our test ride which mostly involved hard riding. But if it's performance and handling you're looking for, the Aerox 155 offers a level of enjoyment and thrill, possibly not offered by any other scooter under 160 cc on sale right now.

The TVS NTorq 125 looks great, has superb dynamics, and comes loaded to the brim with features and technology no other petrol-powered scooter even comes close to. Most of all, NTorq still retains its fun-to-ride character, and that alone more than makes up for recommending it as a performance-oriented scooter that scores right up there with the best available on sale right now. The extra features, riding modes, et al, just make it that much more appealing to the new-generation scooter buyer.

The Hero Maestro Edge 125 gets a competitive entry price starting from ₹ 58,500 for the drum brake version, but the FI model is priced at a steep ₹ 62,700 (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). For the money, it manages to tick all the right boxes in terms of offering the essentials in a 125 cc model. It’s not outrightly sporty and it isn’t commuter-ish either, it sits in a sweet spot right in the middle where it’s exciting enough for a new user but commuter enough for day to day responsibilities.

It is a viable alternative to a conventional scooter offering impressive performance, excellent riding dynamics and, sheer practicality despite the limited range. The scooter's tech-laden nature also makes it quite the gadget to have. With an asking price of about ₹ 1.25 lakh (on-road, Bangalore), the Ather 450 isn't too differently priced than the top-of-the-line iPhone. In either case, it's a premium for what's on sale but we do think it's a worthy buy, for you will enjoy the experience.

Suzuki Motorcycle India has updated the Access 125 with a fuel-injected engine, more out of compulsion to meet the new emission regulations. With the BS6 model, Suzuki decided not to go for a complete revamp, and has added some nifty features, to justify the new generation tag, along with the new fuel-injected engine. It is still one of the highest selling 125 scooters in India and that's because it offers a good blend of practicality and performance along with fuel efficiency.

With maxi-scooter looks, if it's sheer road presence with some practicality you're looking for, the Burgman Street certainly ticks all the boxes, although it's a good ₹ 9,000-10,000 more expensive than its closest competitors and even its sibling the Suzuki Access 125. If you're looking for a scooter that stands out amidst the sea of automatic scooters on our roads, by all means, take a look at the Suzuki Burgman Street.
