I have using mahindra gusto for aroud past 7 months. I live in college and use it mostly for short distance
travel from my hostel to the college. From my riding experience I have found gusto to be an average standard
scooter. First of all mileage is around 45 to 50 and is okay for fair use. I find it useful for my day to day drive. Mahindra gusto boasts of plently of features, like adjustable seat and storage pocket near the instrument
console. But I didn't find it to be that effective. While riding, if I lower the seats, it will not only become too low
but the rider geometry also goes for a toss because the seats angle drops to a steep incline. However the seat is
pretty large and remains comforable during the rides. The'find me lamp' feature has been good and it makes the scooter lights blink and beep if buttons on
flipkey is pressed. The storage space is small and cannot accomodate an open face helmet. And if I try to stuff a tiny helmet,
the seat does not lock in the road grip. The switch gear quality is average while plastic quality and paint finish need improvement. The acceleration isn't that brisk. The weight is a bit higher compared to other scooters and appeal. The main issue I faced is that servicing and maintainance is poor and the bike had lot of technical issues. I
complained twice and they took 2 months to resolve my problem. The issue was with the silencer. It was making
a lot of noice. When I asked the dealer to rectify the problem he neglected it. So I had to call the customer care
to rectify the problem. And that took a lot of time to get solved in the reability.
