The Hero Maestro Edge 125 is a scooter from Hero MotoCorp. It was launched in 2019 and has since been discontinued. Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. Scooters are made for easy city riding: automatic, step-through and usually with storage under the seat. With a 124.6 cc engine it sits in the 125 cc scooter class.
Power comes from a 124.6 cc single-cylinder air-cooled carburetted engine that makes 8.8 PS at 6,750 rpm and 10.2 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 5,000 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its stroke is longer than its bore (52.4 mm x 57.8 mm), a long-stroke layout that generally favours low-down pulling power. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 81 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 90 km/h. It has both electric and kick start.
It uses an automatic (CVT) transmission, so there are no gears or clutch to work — you twist the throttle and go.
It is built around an underbone type frame. Suspension is by telescopic fork at the front and single coil spring hydraulic type at the rear. Braking is by a 130 mm drum at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear, with a combined braking system (IBS). Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake. It rides on 12-inch front and 10-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres — 90/90-12-54J at the front and 90/100-10-53J at the rear.
The seat is 775 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 109 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 155 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 1,843 mm long, with 1,261 mm between the axles. Its 5.5 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 45-65 kmpl work out to roughly 358 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.
Equipment includes an analogue and digital instrument console, a halogen headlamp, USB charging port and combination lock. Safety equipment includes side-stand engine cut-off, topple alert and vehicle start alert.
For the Hero Maestro Edge 125, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.
It is best suited to city errands and riders who would rather not shift gears. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.
Being carburetted, it benefits from an occasional carburettor clean, especially if it has stood unused.
