Hero Splendor Electric is being talked about as one of the most important launches in India’s two-wheeler EV journey. The Splendor name has powered crores of middle-class and low-income families for decades, known for mileage, reliability, and low maintenance. Its electric version is now aimed at daily office commuters, students, and small-town riders who want freedom from petrol expenses without losing the familiar Splendor experience. With simple technology and mass-friendly positioning, the Splendor Electric targets volume, not hype.
Design and Build Quality
Hero Splendor Electric retains the classic commuter bike design that Indian riders instantly trust. The upright seating position, long and comfortable seat, and simple body panels make it ideal for daily rides and long hours on the road. EV-specific changes like a closed engine area, modern LED lighting, and a digital instrument cluster give it a fresh identity while keeping the overall look familiar. Build quality focuses on strength and durability, designed to handle bad roads, heavy usage, and years of ownership without high repair costs.

Range and Charging
The biggest highlight is its 180–200Km claimed riding range on a single charge, making it highly practical for daily users. For riders covering 40–50Km per day, charging is required only once every 3–4 days. The bike supports home AC charging, allowing users to charge overnight using a regular household socket. Fast charging support is also expected, enabling a 0–80% charge in around 60 minutes, reducing downtime for working riders.
Performance and Riding Experience
Hero Splendor Electric is tuned for smooth, efficient, and predictable performance rather than aggressive speed. Instant electric torque makes city riding effortless, especially in stop-and-go traffic. The bike is expected to offer a top speed of around 100–110Km/h, which is more than sufficient for city roads and short highway runs. Silent operation and vibration-free riding significantly reduce fatigue, making it ideal for long daily commutes.
Features and Safety Features
The electric Splendor comes with a fully digital instrument cluster displaying speed, battery level, range, and riding mode. Safety is supported by a strong chassis, disc brakes, combined braking system or ABS, and stable tyres for everyday confidence. The predictable power delivery ensures safe handling even for riders switching from petrol bikes to electric for the first time.
Price and Market Impact
Hero Splendor Electric is expected to be priced between ₹1.1 lakh and ₹1.3 lakh, positioning it directly against 100cc–125cc petrol bikes. With near-zero running cost, extremely low maintenance, and Hero’s unmatched service network, monthly ownership expense drops drastically. If launched at this price, the Splendor Electric could become the biggest EV disruptor in India, pushing mass riders toward electric mobility faster than any premium EV bike.
