Be it going to school with dad or the first ride to college, Splendor has been a part of every household’s story. For years, this bike has been known for its simplicity, excellent mileage and low cost. And most importantly, its resale value! As if you have bought gold.

In such a situation, there is only one question in everyone’s mind, “When will our own Splendor Electric be made?” The good news is that this dream is now on the verge of becoming reality. Hero MotoCorp is now preparing to bring its most reliable bike in electric avatar. Imagine, the same familiar splendor, but without petrol! This news is no less than a big relief for middle class families and those who ride bikes daily.

Same old friend, in a new way

The best thing about Hero is that he knows how much people love Splendor. That is why they have not tampered with its classic design. The same strong iron body, long and comfortable seat, and upright seating position, so that a person of any age can drive it comfortably. The only change will be that where earlier there was a petrol tank, there will now be a modern battery and the engine will be replaced by a powerful electric motor.

How much will it last on one charge?

Since this bike is being made for daily use in the city, its range will also be quite powerful. According to reports, once fully charged it can run for 120 to 150 kilometers. Its top speed is also expected to be around 70-80 kilometers per hour, which is perfect for city traffic and daily tasks. The biggest comfort is that there will be no hassle of gear and clutch in it, which will make it very easy to operate.

Will you find something new?

Along with simplicity, some important new features will also be available in it:

• digital display: In this you will get accurate information about how much battery is left and how much more the bike will run.
• Smart Connectivity: Facilities like USB port for charging the phone and tracking the bike through mobile can also be available.

Maintenance tension is over!

The maintenance cost of the petrol Splendor was not much, but in the electric version this cost will become almost negligible. No hassle of changing engine oil, no worry about air filter and clutch plate. This means that your hard-earned money will no longer be saved at the petrol pump, but in your pocket. You will be able to charge it comfortably overnight at home from your normal socket.

How much will it cost?

Hero is being very sensible about the pricing of this bike. It is estimated that the ex-showroom price of Hero Splendor Electric can be between Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.20 lakh. If you take it on EMI, the monthly installment will probably be less than your petrol expenses. It is expected that this bike can be seen in showrooms by 2026.
