The selection of criteria for evaluating ber 25 2018 scooters was based on an analysis of available manufacturer website. The evaluation and selection Accepted December 26 2018 Available online of scooters was carried out using a new multi-criteria decision making MCDM method. The December 26 2018 present study tries to identify the attributes like kerb weight mileage top speed fuel tank capacity Keywords and price playing prominent role in the buying behavior of the working women while purchasing TOPSIS scooters. Fuzzy-AHP method has been used to obtain the relative weights of the criteria on the Hosting-right basis of which the alternatives are evaluated using new MCDM. The TOPSIS and MABAC meth- Techno-economic criteria ods were tested under the same conditions. The stability of the result obtained by this method is Cost-benefit ratio established through a sensitivity analysis. 2019 by the authors licensee Growing Science Canada. 1.
