In my review i can't help but compare the dio to its previous model.

Style

the new dio has sporty styling. The facelight on the head lights and the tail lamps reflect a version of teenage rebelion. They definitely catch your eye. The speedometer dials and instrument panels are pretty much the same as the old dio except for the new fuel gauge. The dials are legible enough but lack a certain zing you get on its rivals.

Engine performance, fuel economy and ride quality

as mentioned in the pros above, acceleration is the bike's selling point. It's extremely powerful and the light body helps you climb to a high speed in no time. However, the odd feeling handle bar (probably due to its short length) don't give you confidence at high speeds or for that matter even at low speeds. The suspension is hard and even a single rider will get tossed around on an average indian road. The brakes however, serve their purpose and were designed to stop this vehicle at its highest speed.

A major let down that has been carried forward from the previous model is the battery problem. Firstly, it feels as if the battery power prescribed for the dio is underpowered, i.E., You get the feeling you need a bigger battery. This is because your lights go dim unless you accelerate. Secondly, the bike often dies if you don't hold a certain throttle.

Final words

the success of the previous model is owed to its acceleration, handling, road presence and fuel economy. Honda went wrong with the new dio in a few key areas. While they nailed the sporty looks and retained a few important features from the previous model, they went phenomenonally wrong in putting this one together. Riding this bike is extremely taxing for even a small distance.

Pros

styling, fuel economy, acceleration, cheap spares

cons

comfort, battery issues, suspension, handling

Amazing experience

Biswajit Tripathy
This scooter is just awesome. The performance, pickup, mileage everything is good. Using this from last 3 years and still the performance is more than good. Pickup is still amazing and mileage is above 40. I regularly travel up to 150 km and it performs like a bike. I'm very happy and recommend everyone who wants an affordable and long-lasting two-wheeler. Just maintain and keep doing a little maintenance from time to time and it goes like a bike. I love this scooter and also I gifted the same to my sister. Amazing experience.

The Dio scooter offers a stylish design, impressive fuel efficiency, and agile handling, making it a popular choice for urban commuters. Its comfortable seating and smooth ride enhance the overall experience, while features like spacious under-seat storage and a modern digital instrument cluster add to its practicality. However, some may find its performance a bit underwhelming on highways. Overall, it's a reliable option for city travel with a youthful appeal.

The Honda Dio is a popular scooter, especially for city commuting. Its stylish design and bright colors make it appealing to younger riders.
The 110cc engine strikes a good balance between power and fuel efficiency, making it great for city rides. It's lightweight and easy to maneuver, while the telescopic front suspension provides a smooth experience on uneven roads
