Hi, Before buying this vehicle, I was in total confusion to pick from many brands. A cousin is of mine had maestro, I used it for quite some times. I loved its riding comfort. This vehicle is awesome in terms of riding comfort and quality of items. In addition I gave me expected fuel economy, the fuel consumption is around 51 to 54 kms/liter. The breaks are good even in rainy days.
I never used kick start, However many times it forced me to use choke. The bad part is handling, difficult to turn around, make quick moves, Head light from Hero is too dim. Which is why I mentioned it is one good selection I made.
