Hero Maestro is the 2nd highest selling scooter in India which sold 44,819 units in January 2015. Well, if you compare it with Honda Activa, the sales of Maestro is one fifth of the Activa. I think Hero Motocorp might have to innovate here to with buyer’s heart and come up with some better scooter.
The Scooter segment has been rapidly growing these days in India with a noticeable growth. The world’s single largest two wheeler motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp has well understanding of the changing market trends and always tries to give the best in motorcycle segment.

Latest Update: One cannot deny the popularity or Activa and how all the competitors are clueless on how to deal with it. In June 2015 Hero Motocorp showcased its 125cc Maestro Edge to select dealers abroad. Edge is going to take on Suzuki Swish and Activa in 110cc segment and is most likely to be launched somewhere in Diwali.
Maestro Edge gets power from air-cooled, 4-stroke single cylinder ohc 110.9cc engine that churns out peak power of 8.31BHP at 8000rpm and maximum torque of 8.30Nm at 6500rpm. Telescopic front suspension and unit swing with spring loaded hydraulic damper at rear gives stability to it and takes up bumps and potholes easily.

that;right waste of money,stupid criation not even has milage and no picup……
Pathetic scooter. I think Hero has not a little sense of automobile sector. Third class performance. Too much wobbles on the speed between 40 to 60. No good service. Not worth a rupee. I am so much dissatisfied and extremely unhappy with the scooter performance. I would rather have gone for Activa 3G. I wasted my money on this worst performing scooter.
maestro is the best scooter i hv ever seen………the front looks of it is just amazing……..on either side.activa yaaaak….
this scooter is better than activa, better average 40 kmpl in city and on highway 45-50 kmpl,longer seat than activa so that two person can seat easily with a child, better look than activa and any other scooter,sound is very nice ,but i hope hero can design a scooter with scooter just like street model
I love this bike but its mileage is too bad
