      The scooter is ok but has less mileage, however maintenance is low as compared to other scooters. Best for local usage and is also used for heavy-duty pickup. Very nice bike and can be afforded by everyone.

      It's a very comfortable and safe scooter. Its body is very tough and strong. The Honda Dio has a very good suspension. The size of the tyres is also good, which is comfortable on muddy roads.
