Reviews of Hero Maestro Edge 110

I was planning to purchase a scooter for my daughter so thoroughly checked each and every scooter available in market. My bike and my scooty are from tvs. I also have a very old bajaj chethak scooter. What all things i considered before my purchase was as follows.It must be a powerful scooter. This is because i am also going to use it. My daughter is going to use to more than me, so she told me it must little stylish. Better mileage and strong body. Head light must very powerful and it must not fitted along with the body (ie it must be fitted to handle itself so that when handle turns light must turn with the handle. Smooth self start and kick start. Colour must be visible to other fellow riders/ drivers even in dim light. Costs must be minimum and must have more facility. Must from a reputed company.I used tvs scooter and bike for more than 15 years. My bike now covered around 339000(three lakh thirty nine thousand km). I have no problem with tvs products and their service till now. Parts are available plenty. But when i realized that they increased the price of jupitar and wego i dropped the plan. Then i concentrated on activa, fascino and hero pleasure. Next comes pleasure , duet and maestro edge from hero.I went to their showroom in kakkandu, kochi kerala(palal hero moto corp). I was asking the details of pleasure and duet. Then a sales person came to me and said 'sir, we have a new maestro model zxi, please have a look'. I liked appearance very much. I told the sales person that i must think about it and will come back in two days time. Meanwhile i checked the complaints regarding maestro. So many people are complaining about its starting problem and mileage. After studying all these things for 2 weeks i decide to go for maestro edge zxi. With this price and power the facilities maestro is giving is excellent. So i took my daughter to the showroom and asked her opinion.I first asked her to take the scooter from central stand. She did it easily. I asked her to put the scooter in central stand. She did this also with ease. I asked her to kick start the scooter. She did. From the above experiment i came to a conclusion that she has no problem in handling the scooter. Buying experience. Palal hero moto corp, kakkandu, kochi. I paid full amount on one Wednesday and asked the showroom people to make it ready for Thursday 5:00pm. On Thursday i went to showroom at around 4:30pm. Sales person were gentle and polite. Papers were ready. He explained everything to me once again and handed over the key to me. They know i got to drive around 100km that day to reach home. So they attended everything with care. To me their service was ok.I started around 5:15pm way back to my home. On my way home i topped up the tank . Reset the trip meter to zero. I kept the speed between 35 and 50 km/hr. I stopped one time for a tea break. Maestro ran smoothly without any problem. When i reached my home town again i filled upto the neck of the tank. Then checked the mileage and i was surprised and shocked to see the mileage of this scooter at the first ride.It was more than what company was claiming. Details of how to check the mileage is given in the last paragraph. Then i checked the scooter mileage by riding in different speeds. Then i noticed many things which i want to share with you.1. You must check the tyre pressure frequently. Maestro will give you a low mileage on low tyre pressure.2. When you start your maestro in the morning, please do not use self start instead you must kick start your maestro.3. If you have not used your scooter for more than a day, then you may have to give 2-5 kicks and if your scooter refused to start, then pull the choke. After engine runs you must push back(off) the choke immediately. It all depend upon the climatic condition also.4. When you self start maestro, never ever throttle your scooter. Ie. Do no use accelerator when you self start your scooter.5 maestros big problem is its mileage variation. So if you can maintain a maximum speed upto 50km/hr, this scooter will give you a amazing mileage. But if you drive below thirty (30 km/hr). It will give you only 30-38km/hr. You wont get any mileage if you cross 60km/hr. This scooter is purly not intended for racing.Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden breaking. These two will also reduce the mileage. Avoid these two and make it a driving habit.6. To check the correct mileage you need to do following things 1. First fill the tank fully. This can be done by asking petrol station staff to put the nossle into the tank upto the block company fixed inside the tank( there is a cross bar). Then lock the petrol nozzle liver. When petrol hits the tip of the nozzle it will automatically cut the flow. Yes, that is upto you must fill the petrol. Never ever sit on the scooter and look around while fueling the tank. The petrol station staff will make you a fool by adjusting the meter. You will not notice this. So always keep a watch on the meter. Always starting from zero.Then reset the trip meter to zero or write down the meter reading. Then take good ride, say a 50km. Come back and do the filling like before(ask the staff to fill petrol in auto cut off mode). The difference will give you the exact mileage. Eg: suppose if your initial reading was zero (re-set to zero). Final reading was 55km. You refilled the petrol and when auto-cut happens suppose if the meter shows 1 liter then your mileage is 55km/l. If the meter shows 1.5 litters then your mileage was 36.6 that is 55/1.5.Never run your scooter with less petrol. Petrol will evaporate more quickly.Stars i am going to give for this scooter along with other things are as follows. 1. Buying experience 4 stars. They made mistake in the address. But corrected it.2. Riding experience . 4 stars. Not good for very long ride.3. Details about looks, performance etc. 5 stars. Excellent look and performance.4. Servicing and maintenance 4 stars. First service is just over.Pros.1. Good looking, stylish, strong scooter. Excellent for short trips. For long trips over 100km(single stretch) not so comfortable. Mileage good( but have to obey certain rules strictly(speed limit 35-50)). Never faced any starting problem till date.Cons.Seat is so wide. Female passengers/ riders have little problem over come this.Heavy for a female rider.After the court order drl(day time running light) have to be in on position when engine starts. This means head light, meter light, digital meter light , some times headlight high beam indicator, tail light are always unnecessary on always. That is around 4 to 5 lights are always on. Why? i do not know. Scooter company is making profit out this. They did not reduce the price of headlight switch(some 750rs for original). Headlight is pushing the heat to surrounding there by increasing the city temperature. Headlight life is reducing every day. Reflector is loosing its shining material coating. This is good for european country's not for India. The logic is. If one cannot see a bike coming in broad daylight then how can he see a head light in the broad day light. So many head lights are confusing and glare is also so high.Finally i read about so many complaints about servicing. Be careful the original villains are service people.After the first service(500km). You have to do this to all vehicle you owned. Check the engine oil. Go to a private repair center and ask the person to check the engine oil. He will tell you the truth. In most cases these service people will never change the engine oil. They will simple charge you the price for the oil they had not changed. Same is the case with gear oil. Change the engine oil yourself if you found service people had not changed it. Change engine oil at 500 km, 1000, 1500, 2500, 3000, then every 3000km. Change gear oil at 500k, 1500, then every 3500km.
