Because I’m not convinced about the charging infrastructure yet, I opted for the SXR 125 over an electric. Not to mention, I love the sound and feel of a petrol engine. No range anxiety!

Electric is the future, man. Bikes like Ather perform insanely, and the running costs are way lower. The SXR 125 doesn’t feel outdated at all.

It's not a fair comparison. With the SXR 125, you get a different riding experience. Yes, electrics are cheaper to run than petrol scooters, but they don’t have the soul.

I regret not going electric. I was a bit disappointed by the fuel costs of the SXR 125, particularly as fuel prices seem to be going up. An Ather would have been more economical in the long run.

For me, the SXR 125 is more practical. I can refuel in minutes, I don’t have to worry about finding charging points or long charging times.

High end electrics smoke the SXR 125 performance wise. I still prefer the Aprilia for longer rides and highway use, though. It is more versatile package.

It's a tough call. The SXR 125 is great but the electrics are so low running cost. I guess it depends on your usage pattern and how easy it is to get to charging.

I am in love with my SXR but can’t turn a blind eye to the environmental aspect. I’d probably go electric for the lower emissions if I were buying today.

Unlike most premium electric scooters, the SXR 125 is cheaper initially. That was the deciding factor for me. As prices come down I’ll consider electric for my next purchase.

For its size, it’s amazingly agile! I was worried about the maxi scooters dimensions, but it weaves through traffic like a champ. You get a great view of the road ahead because you are sitting higher.

In really tight spots it can be a struggle, honestly. It’s harder to squeeze through gaps that smaller scooters can easily manage with its wider body.

It fits Bangalore traffic perfectly. It has enough grunt to accelerate quickly when gaps open up, and it’s very stable at low speeds.

It's okay, but not great. I'd like the turning radius to be wider too, as it can be annoying trying to make U turns or drive in tight lanes.

I am a daily commuter and love it. Those long traffic jams are much less bearable with a comfortable riding position and smooth engine.

I switched from Activa, the SXR 125 is not as nimble, but I feel safer on it. The bigger wheels and better brakes are also giving me more confidence in unpredictable traffic.

It's a mixed bag. Wider roads and flyovers are great but really congested areas can be a handful. You have to think a little more ahead.

Firm side, but I love it. It really lets you feel the road, and gives great feedback. Plus, it’s good at handling those unexpected potholes!

Too stiff for my liking. After long rides, and especially on bad roads, my back hurts. I wish they had done a softer setup.

It's a good balance, I think. Not so harsh that is makes it uncomfortable, but sporty enough to be fun. On really bad stretches, you just need to slow down a bit.

It's been pretty capable, I've found. The ride is smoothed out by the larger wheels, and it soaks up small bumps well. It is definitely more planted than my old Activa.
