2021 Hero Maestro Edge – What's New?
Hero's highly popular Maestro Edge has received a host of updates for 2021, including revised aesthetics and several first-in-segment features.
Starting with the design, the new Maestro Edge comes with a revised front facia, giving it a sharper look. It also receives segment-first LED projector headlamps and dual-tone stripe patterns on the body panel for added appeal. While the apron-integrated turn-indicators continue to use halogen bulbs, they now get a smoky effect.
Apart from this, the connected variant also gets two new prismatic colors – Prismatic Yellow and Prismatic Purple. Besides, the Disc variant is available in six colours – Candy Blazing Red, Panther Black. Pearl Silver White, Matt Techno Blue, Prismatic Yellow, and Prismatic Purple.

With this, you can pair your smartphone to the scooter via Bluetooth to access various functions like turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call alerts, and miss-call alerts on the go. Besides, the Hero Connect App also features find my parking, pairing with Passkey, theft alert, trip analysis, vehicle start alert, geo-fence alerts, vehicle tracking, riding behavior analysis, and scooter topple alert.
