Hero MotoCorp Patents New Maxi-Scooter Design - Is It Coming?

Published: Monday, 19 June 2023 8:40 AM | By Maxabout News | 2051 Views

Hero MotoCorp, India's largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has patented a new maxi-scooter design. The patent image shows a sporty scooter with a central spine, dual headlamps, and a layered fairing. The scooter also features a step-up seat, a tail rack, and a telescopic fork up front.

The patent image shows that the maxi-scooter has an extremely sporty design. It has high-set dual headlamps, a beak-like front fascia, and a layered fairing. The scooter also has a central spine, which is a common feature of maxi-scooters. This gives the scooter a more aggressive and sporty look. Conventional scooters have a step-through design, which is more comfortable for riders. However, the central spine design on the maxi-scooter sacrifices some comfort for a more aggressive look.

It is unclear what engine will power the new maxi-scooter, but it is likely to be in the 125-150cc range. The scooter will face competition from the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Aprilia SXR 160. The launch of the new maxi-scooter is expected to take place in 2023.

Here are some of the key features of the new Hero maxi-scooter:

  • Sporty design with a central spine
  • Dual headlamps
  • Layered fairing
  • Step-up seat
  • Tail rack
  • Telescopic fork up front
  • Likely to be powered by a 125-150cc engine
  • Will face competition from the Yamaha Aerox 155 and the Aprilia SXR 160
  • The launch of the new maxi-scooter is expected to take place in 2023.

Hero MotoCorp is looking to expand its premium portfolio and the new maxi-scooter is a step in that direction. The company is also working on a new 125cc motorcycle and a 250cc adventure motorcycle.

The new maxi-scooter will be a welcome addition to the Indian market, which is currently dominated by 125cc and 150cc scooters. The scooter's sporty design and features will appeal to a wide range of buyers.
