Get ready for a revolution on two wheels! Hero MotoCorp is about to change the game for Indian commuters with the launch of the much-awaited Hero Electric Splendor. With an eye-popping price tag of just ₹60,000 (ex-showroom), an incredible 400 km range, and a top speed of 80 km/h, this electric bike is set to make you forget about petrol forever. Bookings are expected to open soon, and the Electric Splendor is ready to redefine your daily ride with its unbeatable price and eco-friendly power.
Your Favourite Bike, Now with a Modern Twist
The Electric Splendor keeps the classic, trusted design that millions of Indians love, but gives it a futuristic upgrade. It comes with modern features like sleek LED lights, a fully digital console, and fresh new graphics. The lightweight, commuter-friendly design remains, with a comfortable long seat and a handlebar perfect for zipping through city traffic. It’s the perfect mix of classic style and modern tech.
Power-Packed Performance and a Range That Never Ends
At the heart of the Electric Splendor is a powerful 4kWh Lithium-Ion battery that gives you a silent, smooth ride every time. It can reach a top speed of 80 km/h, making it perfect for your city commutes. But the real showstopper is its incredible 400 km range in Eco mode! This means you can ride for days without worrying about charging. You can also switch between different riding modes like Eco, City, and Sport to match your preference.
Charging is a breeze too. It takes just 4-5 hours to fully charge the battery with a regular charger. And with a running cost of just ₹0.25–₹0.35 per kilometer, you’ll be saving a huge amount of money compared to petrol bikes.
Comfortable and Safe Rides, Every Time
Built on the same reliable frame as the original Splendor, the electric version promises a stable and comfortable ride. It comes with telescopic front suspension and twin rear shock absorbers to soak up bumps on the road, making it perfect for riders of all ages. For your safety, it’s expected to have drum brakes with a Combi Braking System (CBS) and regenerative braking to conserve energy.
Smart Features for the Modern Rider
The Electric Splendor is packed with smart features to make your ride more convenient. It has a digital instrument console that gives you all the information you need, bright LED lighting to help you see and be seen, and a USB charging port for your gadgets. Higher-end models might even come with Bluetooth connectivity, making it a truly smart bike.
Affordable Pricing for Everyone
Hero is planning to launch the Electric Splendor in different variants to suit everyone’s needs. The base model is expected to offer a range of 150–200 km, while the top-end variant will give you the full 400 km. And with government subsidies under the FAME II scheme and state incentives, the final price could be even lower, making it one of the most affordable electric bikes in India.
The Final Word: Is It Worth the Hype?
Absolutely! The Hero Electric Splendor is a true game-changer. It brings together the reliability of the Splendor brand with the cost-efficiency and eco-friendliness of an electric vehicle. It’s the perfect bike for students, professionals, delivery executives, and anyone who wants to switch to a greener way of commuting without compromising on performance. If Hero delivers on its promises, the Electric Splendor could mark the beginning of a new era for two-wheelers in India.
