With deliveries promised to start in February, 2025, the scooters are available for pre-bookings with a nominal charge of Rs 1,000. However, both the scooters are only available in select cities only. We also expect them to launch this month in a few Indian cities.
2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Spied For The First Time
The upcoming Bajaj Pulsar RS200 has been spied testing for the first time. The update for the Pulsar RS200 is long due, and is highly awaited by Pulsar fans. And now, Bajaj is finally making it happen. The manufacturer is expected to equip the bike with a more powerful 200cc engine, advanced features and rider aids and even better underpinnings and braking setup to compete with its modern rivals.
TVS Apache RTX 300 Spied Again
The TVS Apache RTX 300 Adventure bike has been spied testing yet again. Similar to the previous spy shots, the bike was wrapped in camouflage along with a black cloth to hide the actual design of the body panels, but we can still get an idea of how the bike would look.
User Reviews
Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a great bike if you are looking for thrill and throttle. The performance is really good but the comfort is compromised due to the obvious nature of the bike. Stylish look and modern design makes the bike look adorable. I trust Bajaj and their Pulsar RS 200 also because the bike is fairly priced at around 1.7 lac.Read More
Because it is EV and I need it for local use, better for daily commute like local market and school. For my daughter's daily school and coaching commuting. Of course, pollution free ride and contribution in environment saving. It is full of satisfaction and exciting. Good boot space to carry daily usages things like helmet and some small items. Ride quality is smooth and stable and breaking is also good. Need to work on range. Yes, The reason is clean design and style. Honda's provides less range so expecting some better range in coming days. Need to improve on battery warranty. There should be at lifetime warranty. Overall its is good in its price range. Read More
For my inter state rides as I currently live in Ranchi but my home city is Chaibasa so I have to travel between these city a lot and this bike feels best when I ride for a longer distance. The major reason was the height of the bike, as I am 6.1 ft 24M, it is the best height bike for me. As I can feel that this bike is not for daily commuters as it is quite big for the Indian roads but the whole seen changes when you ride it on highways. I feel confident while riding this, one of my cousin have RE Himalayan and when compared to it, this bike feel more agile and is more practical. I would recommend this bike to only those who wants to have a best all rounder bike as it has best in the market technical specs, (even I have not fully explored all the modes of the bike thus far), it feels confident to ride on in many situations. And to top it all off, it has best engine as both BMW and TVS came together in this. Read More
Honda is known brand and trusted as well. Previous I was using honda activa petrol and my experience was very good with that as well. And now I am very happy with activa so far it is a very good ride experience. So far I am enjoying the ride and it is very smooth. Honda is known for quality and it prove it in all aspects. I loved riding it and giving very good mileage as well. Ride quality is also very good. I liked it. My reason to buy this scooter is quality and mileage. It is one of best in its segment. If you want a smooth ride and good mileage go for activa ev. Also you save lots of buks shelling in petrol so it is good choice.Read More
