Congrats I am also planning to buy a scooter in bangalore only. Currently looking at activa and wanted to ask why not electric scooters?

Always thought I didn’t need an egg boiler, underestimated its use and stuck to the traditional method daily.
Finally got one, and it’s such a relief, so much better and easier..

My father's brother bought a Bajaj Chetak 6 months ago and last month he went for a battery replacement which costed him 1.3k. This battery usually powers the electronics like the self start, horn etc went kaput and the service centre fellows said that it does not come under warranty. My uncle charges the scooter every day. So a big NO to electric scooters.

its surprising that an electric scooter uses a conventional battery like ICE scoots for horn etc, its a design flaw. everything should run with the integrated battery including drive train. otherwise using a standard battery difutes the whole purpose.
also electric vehicles arent cheaper to eprate by any chance and neither are good for society unless out country shifts completely to renewable power. over 70% of India's power still comes from coal. so we are burning fuel somewhere.

Hey my usage is very low, like super low. daily 2-3km max(Grocery runs, park at metro, school pickup-drop). I felt petrol is better than electric. From my POV electric makes sense when you use very high like even 25-50km per day would make sense. Considering in that usecase in long run i felt petrol is better.

Do NOT buy Activa 125, the headlight is very bad. I assume Active 110 will have the same problem, Dio might have a usable headlight. Test drive Activa or any other scooter at night, check if headlight is usable. My father's 2010 Activa 110 has a better headlight.
+1 to this. Test drive at night before buying. The headlights of new scooters are terrible, for the one driving the scooter as well as the incoming traffic.

Is it TVS Jupiter Disc SmartXonnect 110cc bike that comes for 1.15 lac?
Can you post some more photos of the speedometer, keyhole side & backside of the scooter?

Any lead acid battery comes with minimum 24 months warranty. Some even 36 months.
I suspect the service people have lied to extract money. Battery warranty is by the manufacturer for any vehicle, including trucks / UPS.
Agaro has some banger products lately. They have become my go-to brand, along with Inalsa, for gifting purposes when I don't want to spend a fortune on premium or semi-premium appliance brands.
can definitely vouch for inalsa, an old & reliable brand! havent had anything from their lineup of-late but whatever i've used from them in the past spoke "built to last", and indeed till now!
Not sure if anyone has bought or used but I really wanted to buy their juicer. Reviews were positive in numbers but the price was going for around 7k which is a lot imo. Also the designed looked like a rebrand to me as I was sure I had seen it somewhere locally but that had another name.

Never bought anything from Agaro or Inalsa...They often show up in amazon search results, but dismissed it assuming it's just another chinese rebranded.
This is the first product I tried from this brand.
Juicers are really finicky by their nature. There is no one brand does it all for it because every vegetable and citrus behaves differently.
I would suggest Sujata Multimix if juicing stuff is your daily requirement and you don't want a hassle of an appliance to do it. It's what we used in my previous job, Sujata appliances just refuse to stop working and keep on chugging along. Any other juicer regardless of its brand is not worth it in the Indian market.
Hamilton Beach if you want a slow juicer, but I doubt the Indian retail variant would be of the quality they provide in their commercial lineup we chefs use.
got this few days ago loving it so far.
Nice phablet ..
I recently picked up Midea TORRINO,WQP12-5201F from FK during the sale on 24 dec 24 . I was majorly influended by @MrGordon posts on the usage and cost . For 15.5k if one could remove the maid and achieve better cleanliness with no everyday kich-kich it was a win win situation . Oh man this was one of the purchases in my life that one doesnt want it first but then regret not buying earlier . This was the best purchase in electronics/kitchen ever . I paid 16.4k after precloure of EMI but waiting for another sale was paying the maid another 1500/ . My all other kitchen/Home applicances are smart and from LG which this was not but the price really swayed me
In 11 months I get my moneys worth back . Maid was taking 18k annually for cleaning utensils . Even if it lasts 5 years I will be the happiest guy .... One could argue that additional expenses of salt / detergent / rinse are also there with electricty but still .
I have seen such clean , steamed , bone dry utensils except good restraunts . The only heartbreaker is when the utesnils come out from dishwasher and you see the scratch / gashes on the expensive glass crockery made by that steel / metal scubber or scotchbrite from old washes by maid , damage on steel utensils I am not counting only . The other con is it totally strips oil coating on wok/ kadhai which you would have painstaking done , so dont wash them . It took out muck on those corners / gaps in handles or the black burnt marks from normal usage which we never thought one could . Space is a premium so got the black iron table made and shifted the dishwasher below it
