Hero Splendor Electric 2026: The electric motorcycle segment in India is expanding as companies develop EV versions of their popular commuter bikes. Hero Splendor Electric is expected to bring the trusted Splendor platform into the electric era with a silent motor, modern battery technology and very low running cost. The upcoming model is aimed at daily commuters who want an economical and reliable electric bike for city travel.
Expected Launch Timeline
The electric version of the Splendor is expected to arrive in the Indian market around 2027 as part of Hero MotoCorp’s electric mobility expansion plans. The motorcycle is being developed to serve the mass commuter segment, which has traditionally been dominated by petrol-powered 100cc bikes.
Battery Pack and Riding Range
The electric motorcycle is expected to feature a lithium-ion battery pack around 3.5 kWh to 4 kWh capacity. Under ideal riding conditions, the claimed riding range may reach around 200 km on a single charge. In real-world usage with city traffic and mixed riding patterns, the practical range may remain between 150 km and 180 km depending on riding conditions.
Motor Performance and Top Speed
The bike may use a BLDC electric motor producing around 3 kW to 4 kW peak power designed for smooth and quiet acceleration. This motor setup may allow the motorcycle to reach a top speed of around 85 km/h to 90 km/h, making it suitable for everyday commuting.
Charging Time and Running Cost
The electric bike is expected to support standard home charging using a normal power socket. A full battery charge may take approximately 4 to 5 hours depending on charger capacity. With electricity costing around ₹8 per unit, a full charge may cost roughly ₹30 to ₹35, resulting in an estimated running cost of about ₹0.20 per km.
Price and EMI Finance Plan
The expected starting price of Hero Splendor Electric may remain around ₹99,000 to ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom) depending on battery capacity and features. With financing options available, buyers may be able to purchase the motorcycle with EMI plans starting around ₹2,999 per month depending on down payment and loan tenure.
