May 2025 is shaping up to be a thrilling month for two-wheeler enthusiasts in India, with several new bikes and scooters set to hit the market. Whether you are a fan of petrol-powered bikes or are leaning towards the growing electric scooter segment, there is plenty to look forward to. This article explores some of the most anticipated launches, their expected prices, and what they mean for buyers and the future of mobility.
New Scooters Making Their Debut
One of the most awaited launches in May 2025 is the Vida Z electric scooter, expected to be priced around Rs. 1 lakh. This model promises to offer an affordable entry point into electric mobility, making it attractive for city commuters looking for a budget-friendly and eco-friendly option.
Alongside Vida Z, the market is also gearing up for the launch of the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z bike in May, which is expected to come with a wider rear tire for better grip and stability, appealing to performance enthusiasts.
The Rise of Electric Scooters
Electric scooters continue to gain popularity due to their environmental benefits and lower running costs. The Suzuki e Access, expected in July 2025 at a price range of Rs. 1.20 to 1.40 lakh, is Suzuki's first electric scooter in India. It features a mid-drive motor with a peak power of 4.1 kW and a range of around 95 km on a single charge. It also supports fast charging, which can fully charge the battery in about 2 to 2.5 hours, making it practical for daily use10.
Other notable electric scooter launches to watch for later in the year include the Suzuki Burgman Electric, Peugeot Django 125, and Ultraviolette Tesseract, all priced around Rs. 1.20 lakh. These scooters offer a blend of style, performance, and electric efficiency, catering to diverse customer preferences.
Affordable and Eco-Friendly Options
The TVS Jupiter CNG, expected in October 2025 and priced between Rs. 95,000 to 1 lakh, is an interesting addition for those who want an alternative to petrol without fully switching to electric. It uses compressed natural gas, which is cleaner than petrol and could appeal to environmentally conscious buyers seeking cost savings.
Similarly, the Liger X and Jitendra Yunik scooters, both expected in October 2025 and priced under Rs. 1.25 lakh, aim to offer affordable electric mobility options, broadening the choices for budget-conscious consumers.
What This Means for Buyers
The variety of launches in May 2025 and the months following reflects a dynamic and evolving two-wheeler market in India. Buyers have more options than ever before, spanning traditional petrol bikes, CNG-powered scooters, and a growing range of electric models.
For consumers, this means the ability to choose vehicles that best fit their needs-whether that is long-range capability, environmental impact, cost of ownership, or style. The increasing availability of electric scooters at competitive prices signals a shift towards greener urban transport, supported by improving battery technology and charging infrastructure.
While these launches are exciting, prospective buyers should consider factors such as after-sales service, charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, and real-world performance before making a purchase. The transition to electric mobility is promising but still in progress, and not all models may meet every rider's expectations immediately.
Moreover, the presence of petrol and CNG options alongside electric scooters indicates that the market is catering to a wide spectrum of preferences and practicalities, rather than pushing a single technology.
Final Note
May 2025 is set to be an important month for two-wheeler launches in India, with the Vida Z electric scooter leading the charge among several new models. The mix of electric, petrol, and CNG vehicles launching this year offers consumers a rich palette of choices. As the market evolves, these launches highlight the industry's efforts to balance innovation, affordability, and environmental concerns, shaping the future of personal mobility in India.
For anyone looking to buy a new bike or scooter, keeping an eye on these launches could help make an informed and timely decision. The coming months promise to bring exciting developments in the two-wheeler space, reflecting broader trends in technology and consumer preferences
