The Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid is Yamaha’s innovative take on scooter efficiency — the world’s first scooter with a hybrid system at under ₹1 lakh. Yamaha’s Smart Motor Generator combines a conventional starter motor and generator into a single unit that assists acceleration and enables idle stop, resulting in the highest claimed mileage in the 125cc scooter segment (66.3 km/l). Combined with Yamaha’s Blue Core technology, the Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid targets the urban commuter who wants maximum economy in a stylish package. We review it after 10 months and 13,000 km.

The Hero Xoom 110 is Hero MotoCorp’s direct assault on the TVS NTorq 125’s dominance among young urban riders — but at a 110cc price point. With connected features via Hero Connect, a full-digital instrument cluster, Bluetooth app connectivity, and a sporty design with matte colour options, the Xoom 110 targets the 18–25 urban demographic who wants a stylish, connected scooter without the 125cc price premium.

The Bajaj Chetak’s name carries 40 years of Indian scooter heritage — the original Chetak was to 1980s India what the Activa is today. Bajaj’s electric Chetak revival brings this legacy into the EV era with a retro-modern design, a steel body (vs the plastic/fiberglass of most scooters), an IP67-rated waterproof battery, and Bajaj’s manufacturing scale. After 12 months and 11,000 km of ownership, here’s our comprehensive assessment of whether the Chetak Electric justifies its premium over conventional scooters.

The Honda Dio has always occupied a specific niche: the sportier, younger-looking Honda scooter for buyers who find the Activa too conservative but want Honda’s reliability over the TVS NTorq’s aggressive character. The Dio 125 brings a 125cc fuel-injected engine, full LED lighting, and Honda’s H-Smart connectivity to the Dio’s sporty design platform. It competes most directly with the TVS NTorq 125 and Suzuki Access 125 while offering Honda’s unmatched brand reliability.

The Gen 3 addresses many of the connectivity, software, and service concerns that affected earlier buyers — the result is an electric scooter with genuinely impressive performance specifications, a mature feature set, and improved build quality. At ₹1.47 lakh, it competes directly with the Ather 450X. After 6 months of ownership with 7,500 km, here’s our honest assessment.

The TVS NTorq 125 Race Edition is the most feature-loaded, technology-saturated 125cc scooter in India — and possibly in the world at its price point. With a full-colour display showing telemetry data, SmartXonnect Bluetooth with navigation, a 0–60 km/h timer, top speed recording, and race-inspired graphics, the NTorq Race Edition is unapologetically targeted at young riders who want their scooter to feel like a race machine.

The Suzuki Access 125 has consistently punched above its weight in the Indian scooter market — it may lack the Honda Activa’s volume sales and the TVS NTorq’s youthful character, but the Access 125 builds genuine loyalty through outstanding ride quality, Suzuki’s refined engine character, and the most practical storage in the segment. The 2026 Access 125 continues with Suzuki’s SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) fuel injection, LED lighting, and CBS as standard. We review it after 7 months and 8,500 km of daily urban use. Key Specifications SpecificationDetails Engine124cc, Single-cylinder, Air-cooled, SEP FI Max Power8.7 PS @ 6,750 rpm Max…

The TVS Jupiter has consistently offered something the Activa doesn’t: more features at the same price. The Jupiter 125 takes this philosophy to the 125cc segment — combining TVS’s award-winning design language with a fuel-injected 125cc engine, SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity, an external fuel fill, and comfort-focused ergonomics. Competing directly against the Honda Activa 125, the Jupiter 125 is a genuine challenger in the family commuter scooter segment. After 10 months and 12,000 km, here’s our comprehensive review. Key Specifications SpecificationDetails Engine124.8cc, Single-cylinder, Air-cooled, FI Max Power8.15 PS @ 6,500 rpm Max Torque10.5 Nm @ 5,500 rpm Claimed Mileage62 km/l Kerb…

The 7G (seventh generation) brings OBD2 compliance, an updated fuel-injected engine, LED lighting, and Honda’s H-Smart connectivity — evolving the formula while preserving what made the Activa irreplaceable.
