Hero Maestro Edge Ownership Review after 2000km!

I don't know if there is another such thread or no...but if there is, just add this one to it!

Hola petrolhead.... I am revminister and today I will tell you about my personal experience of owning the hero maestro edge.


I have been owning the maestro edge for last 5 months and have covered almost 2000km on it.

Starting with the design, it is quite sharp, but bulky at the same time. The sideways mounted indicators look quite stunning and the sharply cut headlamp looks quite aggressive. The tail section with all the graphics looks stunning. Overall the bike is very very beautiful.


Now every bike has its own pros and cons.....and the maestro too has them. So going ahead with the pros.....One major positive factor of the maestro is the space. The bike has plenty of space in the boot. More than Enough to accommodate a full size helmet. It also has 2 hooks which are very smartly and conveniently placed.

Another major pro of this scooter is the instrument cluster. The semi digital display is very informative and gives the bike a sporty edge. The analog meter tells you the speed whereas the digital part carries the fuel guage, odometer, trip meter, service light etc. It also gets a stand alarm which is a cool and useful addon. The switch gear on the maestro is made up of good quality plastic and gives you a very good feedback when pressed.

Some other cool features like a usb charger in the boot and a bigger seat add to the utility of the bike. The external petrol lid proves to be very useful especially when you have a senior citizen as your pillion.

Another positive part of the maestro is the engine. It has a lot of low end grunt which helps you zip through the traffic quite easily.


But roses always come with thorns....and this brings me to the cons. Even though the maestro has a lot of low end torque...you really can't use it to get out of the traffic because of its bulky design...... I know it gives you more space and stability at higher speeds....but we hardly do have any roads to reach those higher speeds.And if you personally ask me to choose between traffic and space... I'll select zipping through the traffic. Who wants to be stuck in traffic especially when other bikers are going past you.

Now comes the comfort part....even though the seat is big....its slightly on the harder side which might induce a pain in your ass during long commutes. And talking of pain the suspension isn't the best as compared to activa or any other scotter. Also the tires lack grip and fail to inspire confidence in the wet.

Comming to the final con of the maestro...that is the reliability....i don't know if it's just my bike or what...but the spark plug needed a replacement ment at just 1500km and the speedometer was busted at 1600km. You might wanna consider this before investing in the scooter.

Talking of the mileage...the meastro gives out around 50km per liter which is good enough.

Maestro edge is available at a price of 67k onroad mumbai and in my opinion is worth the money.

So that was my short and simple ownershop experience of the hero maestro edge.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Did anyone ever faced this issue.
Today the whole key fob came out while turning the ignition on, happened 3 am in the morning i was going to work now my stuff is locked in the boot, had to rush to my Dominar at the last minute.
I reported this at the 3rd service that the key fob tend to came out a bit but the said it is ok, now today it came out completely, i am stuck now the tricky part is how do i make it start and take it to service center. If anyone faced this plz advice.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

try to push the pins back in and remove the key.. and insert the lock back in and try again.
or call up the svc and ask them to send a mechanic over to fix it temporarily and then get the entire lock set replaced. if its under warranty, do also write in to hero on their email making your displeasure clear but politely.
btw, a local mechanic would also be able to help you out.. but first inform the svc and let them know that it wasn't your monkeying that broke the part.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Thanks mate, i managed to did just that yesterday itself. Pushed the pins inside and then forced the fob back in and it worked. Will be taking it to svc on monday.
Now this time i have the proof with pics that it really came out. Seems like a different issue as nothing looked to be broken.

Thanks again.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

It has to be replaced under warranty. contact svc.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Took my maestro edge to service center today they are replacing the lock set under warranty, will get it back by evening or tomorrow afternoon.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Got the new lock set today under warranty , however have to pay rs 66 for a gasket and oil seal as there was a minor leak near the gearbox side.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Lockset is pretty expensive.
My frnd just changed yesterday it costed him 1410Rs And Labor was 250Rs + Pairing charges 750Rs

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

I got free replacement under warranty my scooter is only 10 month old on the day.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Am getting some thud sound from handle.. from above headlamp I guess. Went to service center many times. Not yet fixed. Anyone else getting the issue?

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

I use to get mild thud from handle cone area which was fixed by tightning the main bolt. Now i got kad kad from speedo meter area on broken road and bumps , still have to get it fixed. Feels like something is lose inside or below the speedo.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Done with 5th service on 10th Jan 2019, at 4235 kms. Paid only for engine oil which is 260 rs.
Engine is smoother than before, but in comparison to the previous generation Maestro edge it is not smooth, i rode one old Maestro edge and it was butter smooth with zero engine vibes.

Now to the issue my only issue is the rattling sound from the speedo meter housing whenever i pass over rumble strip, speed bump, or broken or bad road, i have been mentioning this since before 4th service but to this day it is still unresolved. Sound is like something is lose and rattling.
So took the scoot again to service center to get it checked and got everything opened in front of me and all looks and felt well under the head lamp, meter and front apron.
Still i mode them re tourqe every nook and bolt to make sure nothing moves, by pushing of hitting with Palm there is no sound or rattle.

Now still after doing everything the rattle sound is present when i pass over anything uneven or bad patch. When i put my han on the meter there is no sound seems like something do do with the concealed speed o unit.
If anyone have any idea about this so please share the inputs.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

We are also facing the same problem. Even the service Centre people removed everything and assembled. But still the problem continues.

Re: Hero Maestro Edge Ownership review and experience

Yes brother the rattling is really irritating, and even after opening everything it is still there, seems like something is wrong with the concealed speedo housing. I thing this time i have to open it on my own and do some jugaad will let you know it if i get a solution for it. For now i am not taking it back to service center as they have already failed to solve this 3 time. If nothing comes out as a solution than i will shoot a mail to hero regarding this.
For a fact the older generation Maestro edge seems to be weel put together and it aslo has a smoother revving engine.
