Joy e-Bike Mihos vs Hero Maestro Edge Comparison

At a pre-subsidy price of Rs. 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom India), Joy e-bike’s Mihos does seem a bit pricy. Especially when you consider the fact that EVs like the Ather 450X and Ola S1 Pro offer much better performance at a similar price point. However, what the Mihos promises to be is an extremely durable, no-nonsense electric scooter that comes with decent features and tech. So, while some aspects of the Mihos did impress us, largely, the company still has to do a lot of fine-tuning. Now, Joy E-Bike has promised us that all those issues will be rectified in the production version that is slated to roll out in April 2023. However, until we get to ride that electric scooter in real-world conditions, we won’t be able to recommend the Mihos over some of its established rivals.

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.
