Hero MotoCorp has recently revealed the prices of the Maestro Edge 110 BS6 scooter in India. Available in two variants, it has been pegged at Rs 60,950 (drum brake alloy wheel VX) and Rs 62,450 (alloy wheel). Now, before you go ahead and book one, here are the alternatives you can consider around a similar price range.
TVS Scooty Zest 110: Rs 59,925-61,425
If you want a light and nimble scooter suitable for women riders, the TVS Scooty Zest 110 makes for an ideal option. Its compact dimensions and low kerb weight of 97kg make it pretty easy to handle. It gets a decently sized 19-litre storage provision while features include an LED DRL, an LED tail lamp and a five-litre fuel tank. TVS also offers vibrant colour options for the Scooty Zest 110.
Honda Dio: Rs 61,497-64,847
The young riders who prefer a scooter with a sporty styling can go for the Honda Dio. It looks profoundly edgy with angular lines all over its body work. Moreover, the new BS6 model brings several new elements into the mix. There are additional features such as a silent starter, an external fuel filler cap, a new DC LED headlamp and more. It is also better in terms of hardware with a larger 12-inch wheel, as opposed to the previous 10-incher, and telescopic forks up front. Meanwhile, the 110cc engine is the same unit which does duty on the Activa 6G.
TVS Jupiter: Rs 63,102-69,052
Another desirable product in the 110cc scooter space is the TVS Jupiter. It’s an offering suitable for all types of buyers with a conventional styling, good comfort, ample storage area and various features for convenience. It sports an LED headlamp, USB charger and front storage box (both are optional) and an external fuel filler. Also, it rides on 12-inch wheels at both ends which lend it enhanced stability. Moreover, the top end variant also gets a front disc brake.
Okinawa R30: Rs 58,992
One can contribute to curbing pollution by opting the Okinawa R30 electric scooter. It belongs to the low-speed e-scooter category as it maxes out at 25kmph. Powering the R30’s 250-Watt BLDC motor is a 1.25kWh lithium-ion battery which comes with a claimed range of 60km per charge. The charging time of the battery is around four-five hours and its micro-charger comes with an auto cut function.
Hero Splendor Plus: Rs 60,500-64,010
The Hero Splendor Plus is one of the most reliable, maintenance-friendly and fuel-efficiency commuters out there, which is why it tops the Indian two-wheeler sales chart quite often. It is powered by a 7.91bhp, 100cc, fuel-injected engine which comes accompanied by Hero’s i3S tech that helps in saving more fuel. Rest of the features are pretty conventional. Furthermore, Hero’s strongest service network is an added benefit for the Splendor owners.
