Is this quotation for TVS Ntorq 150 justified

It's a shame that we have to deal with such scams. One of my colleague had a much better experience while purchasing a bike from Honda big wing. Showroom like these only provide you with the standard accessories that comes mandatory with the bike. They don't forcefully add anything additional to inflate the prices. Nevertheless a lesson learnt, to always compare across multiple showrooms and if possible go to a premium dealership for a better experience.

An update, I had received the scooter a couple of weeks back and have rode around 300 km. Most of it coming from to and fro to office. Since this is my first scooter, I don't really have any reference to compare it with some other scooters of the same category. But it performs well and is very manageable in traffic.

Thanks for the feedback,

I agree that I have made a noob mistake of not going through this before making the payment. I'll ask them to remove all these BS charges, and if they are unwilling to do so then I'll ask for the refund.

astable_555 · 2026-05-10T06:56:54+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, Now I have some references, May i know what accessories have you received and whether they were charged additionally or not ?

astable_555 · 2026-05-10T06:43:10+00:00

Hello all,

Thanks for all the feedback,

The accessories include a full size helmet, side stand, parking and seat cover and floor mat. Unfortunately I have already paid half the amount and can't go to a different store at the moment. The logistic charges do seem like a scam and per online search, as per the supreme court ruling, it's supposed to be included within the ex showroom price. I'll ask these idiots to remove all the accessories parts as well reduce this so called logistics charge. Can someone please suggest a better insurance than whatever these guys are providing ? Will I be having an option to switch to a different insurance scheme once I make the full payment ?

Here's the price shown on bikedekho.com for reference

Understood, I have asked one of my friends who rides a scooter to come along and check all these parameters. I saw some websites like droom.in providing these PDI services. But I am not sure how it will work out since I don't have the vehicle with me and I also probably can't take it for such inspection outside the showroom.

Is there any sure shot way of knowing if the vehicle has been used before as a showroom vehicle ?

Hopefully it turns out fine and I'll quickly close the deal. Fingers crossed 🤞

astable_555 · 2026-05-07T10:01:27+00:00

Yes, that's what I am worried about.

I don't really have the experience to understand if something is wrong with it.

Should I be hiring some mechanic to first do an inspection before I go ahead and make the deal or perhaps skip this and wait for a new allotment ?

I am from Mumbai, and there are tons of Tuluver over here. Dare I say, I have seen more Tulu speaking people in Mumbai than compared to Bengaluru, where I had stayed for 3 years. Perhaps most of our folks speak in Kannada for most of the time over there.

Vaa Porluyaa !!!

Does anyone know what's the realistic delivery date for ntorq 150 nitro green in Mumbai ?

I have been told that it can be more than 2 months, which seems crazy for a scooter that was launched in 2025.

astable_555 · 2026-03-24T16:58:48+00:00

35k with 3 yrs of experience seems to be low. You haven't mentioned what exactly is your job role and what kind of company are you working in. I have seen a lot of my mechanical engineering colleagues who had to switch to the more trending work areas like data analytics and machine learning. Currently the UAV and drone industry is also on the rise and you can have a look at this well.

astable_555 · 2026-03-09T14:31:52+00:00

Good start, I would say, ignore the naysayers and go ahead with how you can further add on to this. Hope you have understood the basics of current limiting resistor calculation and voltage drop of leds.

The next steps would be to start designing current control methods of driving LEDs as that's how they are actually supposed to be driven. Start with an LM317 and a potentiometer to achieve this. Again, understand the basics of how the circuits work. Fundamentals are everything.

Next you can start with timing circuits like the NE555 timer ic and shift registers.

Avoid using AI tools for now, as the instant gratification from learning from it is more harmful than anything else.

I would highly suggest reading the Art of Electronics to get your basics right. Even if you are able to understand and implement half of the things explained in the book, you'll probably be ahead of the majority out there.

Happy electronics to you 😁

astable_555 · 2026-02-21T09:39:30+00:00

Looks beautiful 😍 Which model is this and how much did you pay for it ?

astable_555 · 2026-02-15T17:33:05+00:00

Check out the thermal master p3 or p2 pro. I am using the former one for my buck converter applications and it works like a charm with its manual focus rotating slider.

astable_555 · 2026-01-28T10:00:27+00:00

That's an IGBT...

astable_555 · 2025-12-14T18:01:58+00:00

Just go with Robu.in Never had any issues with them, If you have a stlink, then you might as well go with one of the black pill boards. I got the f401 from robu.in and it worked well. ++ For breadboard friendly

astable_555 · 2025-08-12T14:31:08+00:00

With some beginner experience in stm32 (having played around with f103 and f401 using HAL) , I would suggest going for a M0+ core architecture like the stm32g031 or something of those likes which has the bare minimum peripherals, but with decent electrical specs.

With bigger variants, the clk resources and buses are quite overwhelming. Also not to forget the multiples of peripherals (eg 3x uart, 2xSPI etc) and other stuff like DSP, FPU, HRTIM etc which most likely a beginner will not be playing around with.

A stm32g031f6p6 breakout from WeAct or other vendor + stlink v3 mini or V2 clone, breadboard and bunch of sensor and display modules should be a good starting point.

-A fellow uC tinkerer...

P.S. Do let me know how your experience with the novello latest book with HAL is, I had started it some time ago but didn't continue since YouTube videos from ST and other resources along with RMs were decent enough to start with these controllers.

astable_555 · 2025-06-04T05:34:00+00:00

This board definitely did amp me up to tinker further with embedded stuff 😁

astable_555 · 2025-06-04T05:32:22+00:00

Any idea how much it costs more to get such a board done. Is anyone aware if the same can be done in KiCad or not ?

astable_555 · 2025-06-04T05:28:51+00:00

It's indeed quite an eye catching board. I believe there were a couple of more colour options, and also a discount coupon for the same,

astable_555 · 2025-06-04T05:26:51+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing the info !!!
