While folks in the US might not give too much thought about scooters, over in Asia, these light and nimble two-wheelers are absolutely necessary. They’re quite literally everywhere—zipping through tight streets, weaving through traffic, and carrying all sorts of things scooters don’t really have any business hauling.
And no country in the world loves its scooters quite like India does. Over there, pretty much every single motorcycle manufacturer makes its own interpretation of the ideal scooter, and one of the newest ones to enter the scene comes from one of the biggest motorcycle makers in the country: Hero MotoCorp.
Over the years, the Hero brand has become synonymous with dependable and affordable workhorses. But much more recently, thanks in part to a joint venture with Harley-Davidson, Hero MotoCorp has been able to penetrate the premium segment with machines like the X440 and Mavrick 440.
