Should I buy petrol or electric scooter for a 20km commute?

-
TVS iQube price, convenience, comfort, daily usage.

I want to buy a scooter for my 20km daily commute in Bengaluru city. I’m looking for something with good seat comfort and boot space. I will be using this scooter and also my family. Please suggest if I should go for petrol or electric and give me some good options.

Autocar India says: If you have a space at home where you can charge the scooter, an EV will be worth going for as they are stress-free and enjoyable to ride in the city, and also have very low running costs. When it comes to a practical and comfortable EV, we’d suggest you consider the Hero Vida V1, the TVS iQube S and the Bajaj Chetak. Take test rides on all three and decide which one you find to be the most comfortable. Unfortunately, none of them have very large boots.

As for petrol scooters, the TVS Jupiter 125 will meet your needs nicely as it has a comfortable suspension set-up and a very spacious underseat boot. The petrol scooter will cost much more to run, but it will be significantly less expensive to buy. If you can make the stretch and have a facility to charge your scooter at home, we’d suggest going for the EV.

BMW has taken the wraps off its most powerful M3 ever, the F80 M3 CS, which is even more powerful than the BMW M3 competition. The BMW M3 CS will be sold in sedan bodystyle only and in limited numbers worldwide.  BMW M3 sedan gets 550hp twin-turbo petrol Does 0-100kph in 3.4 seconds Gets BMW’s xDrive AWD tech with selectable RWD BMW M3 CS: design and interior  The M3 CS is set apart from the M3 Competition visually by a raft of design tweaks, such as an angrier-looking, open front grille designed to match the front end of BMW’s GT4-spec M4 racer. Gaping air intakes round off the new-look nose. These are joined by a host of items that enhance aerodynamics, such as a wide front splitter and a lipped rear spoiler. It gets special V-spoke gold wheels – 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear – shod with track-focused tyres. The M compound brakes come with red calipers, while carbon-ceramic brakes are also available. The interior broadly matches that of the M3 Competition, w

Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato First Look: The Ideal supercar for India

The biggest phenomenon of the car world this century is the inexorable rise of SUVs. You have them in all shapes and sizes, for every occasion and every purpose. Even true-blue sportscar makers like Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini have embraced this high-riding body type, which is the antithesis of the sleek, low-slung sportscars these storied brands originally built their legacy and reputation on. Ferrari, too, has just launched its first-ever SUV, which, not long ago, was anathema to the famous Italian marque. It shows that even hallowed brands have no sacred cows left and have succumbed to what is the cash cow of the car market. WRC-style LED spot lamps drive home the rally look.  SUVs make money, plain and simple. Consumers are willing to pay a lot for them and, crucially, they have a much wider appeal than sportscars. So, it’s no surprise that both Porsche and Lamborghini owe their fortunes to the SUVs in their range. Porsche has the Cayenne and Macan, while Lamborghini has j
