I wonder, no Suzuki Access in the list?
I prefer suzuki accesss 125 because it has 125cc engine ,20 L storage space,8.58 bhp power ,better suspention ,easy to handle better stability and 6 L tank capacity………so choose access
I suggest tvs jupiter bcoz it is allrounder in mileage,price,weight,gud lukng
It is such a shame that TVS Jupiter does not incorporate CBS. GC is also not satisfying. So what is zyada zyada about this scooter that TVS is boasting?

I have used both Activa and TVS Jupiter.
I was using Honda Activa since the last 5 years until last month when I decided to purchase the new Jupiter.
No doubt Jupiter because of its superior suspension, win hands down on the ride comfort but when it comes to engine pick-up I would rather say Activa had an edge over there also the CBS provided a very reliable and confident braking system which is missing in Jupiter.
Jupiters big tyres gives it some agility and its easy to maneuver than the Activa.
Can’t compare all these scooters angst international standards & norms.
It’s a shame, for we Indians 3rd world country people safety norms or technology is not reqd in any of the scooters.
Other than CBS in some designs nothing is available in any models
i need to buy scooter, suggest me the scooter who give me riding comfort & best mileage & low maintenance.
Hello friends,
i have both activa and jupiter.Both are good and riding is comfortable but milage of activa is very low around 45 to 50 KMPL and milage of my jupiter is 55 to57 KMPL in city.As power activa has more power but it is not a matter because you can not diffentate when you drive both scooter.As per my view jupiter is no:1 among these.
please suggest which to buy, hero meastro edge or tvs jupiter or honda activa. I need milage which one will give better with good performance. hero meastro edge design is better than all other but i don’t know the performance.
pls suggest me to buy which scooter out of the 3, tvs jupiter, hero meastro edge, honda activa. I need good milage. I confuse between these 3models
All three will produce almost same mileage. Through TVS Jupiter is bit ahead.
