Hero Splendor Electric is being discussed as one of the biggest “mass EV” moments in India because the Splendor name is already trusted by crores of daily riders. The electric version is being positioned for office commuters, students, and small-town users who want freedom from petrol expense without changing their riding habits. With practical numbers, simple charging, and a familiar commuter-bike feel, Splendor Electric is being seen as a direct replacement for 100cc–125cc petrol bikes rather than a niche premium EV.
Design and Build Quality
Hero Splendor Electric is expected to keep the classic commuter-bike shape that Indian riders instantly recognize. The upright seating posture, long seat, and simple panels make it comfortable for daily travel and easy to maintain. EV-specific changes like a cleaner mid-section, LED lighting, and a digital instrument cluster give it a modern look while keeping the overall vibe familiar. Build quality is expected to focus on durability, with a strong frame designed for potholes, heavy use, and years of ownership.
Range and Charging
The biggest highlight is an expected 180–200Km claimed riding range on a single charge. For riders covering 40–50Km per day, charging would be needed only once every 3–4 days. Home AC charging support is expected through a standard socket, with a full charge time of around 5–6 hours, making overnight charging practical. Fast charging support is also expected, delivering 0–80% in about 60 minutes for users with higher daily travel.
Performance and Riding Experience
Splendor Electric is expected to deliver smooth, predictable performance with instant electric torque for easy starts in city traffic. A top speed of 100–110Km/h is expected, which is enough for city roads and short highway stretches. The silent, vibration-free ride reduces fatigue for daily riders, and the lower center of gravity from the battery pack is expected to improve stability during braking and cornering.
Features and Safety Features
The bike is expected to offer a digital instrument cluster showing speed, battery level, range, and riding modes. Safety is likely to include front disc brake, combined braking system or ABS depending on variant, and strong tyres for grip. Regenerative braking modes may be offered to improve efficiency in traffic. The focus stays on essential features that help real daily use rather than gimmicks.
Price and Ownership Plan
Hero Splendor Electric is expected to be priced between ₹1.10 lakh and ₹1.30 lakh, keeping it close to popular commuter-bike budgets. EMI plans could start around ₹2,999–₹3,499 per month with a manageable down payment. With electricity cost around ₹1.0–₹1.3 per Km, monthly running expense becomes far lower than petrol, which is exactly why mass riders are watching Splendor Electric so closely.
