It's best in terms of mileage but it seems too simple.  Any other option?

What about the mileage and service center? Is it easily available?

Mileage 45 to 50 kmpl 
 I am using it for last 5 years, haven`t got any major complaints, only regular service was done. 
 Service centre availability is also good. 
 In my city, there are 3 centres

Software Engineer

Pulsar N125 or N160 
  
 Great for daily commutes and budget friendly

Your confidence for advocating ola after all the poor service fuss is commendable💀

Got bad review about ola in terms of servicing.

If u are looking for daily commute(more mileage) go for Raider(don't buy the smartxconnect version as it drains battery) buy the normal version.  
  
 If u are looking for bike that can be used for long rides as well go with Apache.

I had checked the rider it's good looking but the part are not strong. I got good review for apache? For Which model should I go?

TVs Ronin for long drive as well as city commute or Honda SP 125

Frontend Engineer

Suzuki Gixxer, I tested a lot of bikes before I bought this one and never regretted it.

I checked but it seems out of budget? Mine is max 150K🥲

I saw apache it's good but which one should I check?

Okay, so i own ola air s1. I fully enjoy riding it. Now let me tell you some stats about it, it gives me a range of 100km on a single charge and I have driven 1700km on it and have spent 250 rupees charging my bike and if it was petrol, i would have spent 3000 to commute the same kms. I would recommend going with EV. It will save you a lot of money.

I'm also looking to buy a bike in this budget and I have shortlisted Apache RTR 160, Yamaha FZ V4 and Pulsar N160 till now. Will test drive all of them to decide.

If you're okay with mopeds and that too an electric, would recommend ather.

I have Glamour BS6. Using it from 4 years now and gives around 40 mileage.

In terms of mileage go for hero Xtreme 125R

Best bike 2024 under 2 lakh

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I am a noob at bike but have some disposable $$ to put into a good bike. The current idea is to go for a decent bike which isn't too much over the top. The budget goes from 2lakh to 5 lakh. It isn't a rational buy but a emotional buy.

What would be your suggestion in these ranges
Below 2 lakh
2 to 3.5 lakh
3.5 to 5lakh

And why?

Millennial and Gen Z face mood swings due to multiple reasons. 

Generally I do below stuffs...

1. Listen to music or watch fav movies 🍿
2. Read a book 📖
3. Swimming or Gym or a sprint run. 
4. Biking at 20kmph and 80kmph also, both have separate zones.
5. Talk to parents or close friends.
6. Sleep
7. Sunsets or birdwatching

Attaching a snap of sunset from my today's bike trip, covered 130km in 2h. It feels so rejuvenating.

Watching reels/shorts is the last option.

What's your method for refreshment?

Hii, 

Scooty or bike - any reseller suggestions or someone who might wanna sell theirs?

Location nearer to Whitefield would be better. Thanks

I'm looking to buy a decent second hand two wheeler for my daily commute.

I have just shifted from Bengaluru to Gurgaon for a new opportunity. Apart from all the cultural differences, the biggest thing I have noticed in Delhi-NCR is the huge presence of 4 wheelers on roads. 

1. Is a car really that needed in Delhi (consider the Summers and Winters) or is it just a status symbol here?
2. If a car purchase does make sense, do you recommend a new/used car? My budget is INR 6L

PS: 
1. My office is 3kms one way from residence.
2. I only have 2 members in my family (my wife and I).
3. I already have a 400CC bike with me.
4. I may end up driving on weekends to the hills.

Does buying a car make sense? Location: Delhi NCR

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲

I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler.

Two wheeler expectations:
- comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight)
- okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲)
- low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒)
- as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L)
- likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola)

Please guide me peeps🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

Moving from SF Bay Area to Bengaluru next month. Planning to buy a scooter for commute. Cars don’t make sense based on current traffic issues
What are the best options to buy? Daily commute around 12 kms 

Would it make sense to buy a new one or a used one in India. If EV, how accessible do the Bangalore folks feel about charging infrastructure. Which one gives more value for your bucks. TIA.
