On September 10, 2025, Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch the much-awaited Hero Electric Splendor, a bike that promises to blend the iconic Splendor’s reliability with modern electric technology. With a remarkable range of 209 km on a single charge, this electric bike is designed for daily commuters and eco-conscious riders looking for an affordable, green ride. Let’s dive into what makes this bike special, from its performance to its pocket-friendly price.
Engine and Performance
The Hero Electric Splendor is powered by a 4kW BLDC electric motor, offering smooth and instant torque for a lively ride. Unlike the noisy petrol engines of its predecessors, this motor is silent yet powerful, making it perfect for navigating busy city streets or quiet small-town roads. It can hit a top speed of 80–90 km/h, ideal for urban commutes and short highway trips. The bike also features regenerative braking, which recycles energy during stops to boost the range, ensuring you get the most out of every charge. Its lightweight frame, weighing around 110–120 kg, makes it easy to handle, even on bumpy roads.
Mileage
The standout feature of the Hero Electric Splendor is its impressive 209 km range per charge, a big win for budget-conscious riders. Powered by a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, this bike lets you ride for days without plugging in, especially if your daily commute is under 50 km. Compared to the petrol Splendor’s 65–70 km/l, the electric version slashes running costs to just ₹200–₹300 per month for charging. Regenerative braking adds a bit more range by recharging the battery during slowdowns, making it a practical choice for city riders who want fewer charging stops.
Features
The Hero Electric Splendor keeps the classic Splendor look but adds modern touches. It sports bright LED headlamps for better visibility and a digital instrument cluster that shows speed, battery status, and remaining range. A USB charging port keeps your phone powered on the go, while mobile app connectivity lets you track ride stats and get anti-theft alerts. The removable battery is a game-changer, allowing you to charge at home or work without needing a special charging station. For safety, it comes with a front disc brake, a rear drum brake, and a sturdy single cradle frame for a smooth ride.
Price and Finance Plans
Priced between ₹95,000 and ₹1.15 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hero Electric Splendor is one of India’s most affordable electric bikes. With FAME-II subsidies and state EV incentives, you could save up to ₹15,000, making it a steal compared to rivals like the TVS iQube or Bajaj Chetak. Hero offers flexible finance plans through tie-ups with banks like SBI and HDFC, with EMIs starting as low as ₹2,000 per month. A 3–5 year battery warranty and Hero’s vast service network add peace of mind.
