These five bikes make the most sense for cash-strapped yet stylish college-goers
College life is quite peculiar. Amidst submissions, deadlines, experiments, field trips, exams and bunking, a college-goer is living quite a hectic life. The pocket money you get from your parents has to get you through the month. That means deciding how much to spend on yourself, your friends, at the chai tapri, with your partner and lastly, and most importantly, on fuel. You also need a stylish and powerful ride to enjoy your college commutes. Here are five bikes that fit the bill perfectly:
- RsPrice1,48,227*
- Power7.6
Riding on our roads is an adventure in itself and given the growth in popularity of adventure motorcycles, it would serve you well to get the Hero XPulse 200 if you dream of owning a BMW GS or a Triumph Tiger one day. This small adventure motorcycle is light on its feet and zippy through traffic. The seat is accommodating for riders of all heights with enough space for pillion riders as well. The 21-/18-inch spoke wheel setup and long-travel suspension soaks up the majority of our road undulations. It is also the only petrol-powered bike in this list to get connectivity features like call and message alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and ride statistics.
2. Revolt RV400
- RsPrice1,39,950*
There is nothing quite like the Revolt RV400 in the market currently. It is one of only two electric motorcycles that you can buy in India right now (the other being its smaller sibling the RV300). Being an electric, it is quick and has a top speed of 85kmph, which your parents would definitely approve. If you ride it with extreme caution, Revolt claims it can go 150km on a single charge but you are looking at a realistic range figure of around 80km. Plus, no money spent on fuel means savings to splurge on fun activities. Even the charging time of 4.5 hours for a full battery is not too much. Just plug the battery once you reach home after an evening of fun and frivolities for an overnight charge. Also, with swappable batteries, you could have one primed and ready in your house for the next day.
