Hero MotoCorp has announced that it will phase out the production of its 109 cc Maestro scooter, reportedly to end the royalty payments to Honda India. The scooter, which starts at ₹48,300 (ex-showroom, New Delhi), uses a Honda-developed engine to deliver 8.05 bhp. Hero MotoCorp will continue to sell the new Maestro Edge in the 110 cc scooter segment.
