All variants have a top speed of 50 kmph and the ranges of 78 km for the lead acid variant and 70 km for the li-ion variants. The top-spec LI Technology variant gets features like geo-fencing, navigation, remote diagnostics and more. The B8 gets a 1,900 watt electric motor from Bosch along with three riding modes.

For the money, it manages to tick all the right boxes in terms of offering the essentials in a 125 cc model. While the scooter may feel pricier compared to some of its rivals, it does get a segment-first fuel-injection tech that explains the additional cost. At the end of the day, the Maestro 125 is Hero's idea of a performance scooter, filled with dollops of practicality. And that's how its primary customer will be too.
