Hero MotoCorp, a big name in two-wheelers, just launched the Hero Electronic Splendor in the United States, and it’s already grabbing attention. This electric bike, with an impressive 170km range per charge, blends classic style with modern tech. Priced at a starting point of $6,649, it’s aimed at city riders looking for a green, budget-friendly ride. Here’s a closer look at what makes this bike a game-changer.
A Smooth and Silent Ride
The Hero Electronic Splendor is powered by a 4kW electric motor, giving it a quiet yet zippy performance. It hits a top speed of about 55 mph, perfect for cruising through urban streets. The instant torque makes it feel quick off the line, ideal for stop-and-go traffic. Plus, its lightweight frame—around 250 pounds—makes it easy to handle, whether you’re weaving through downtown or parking in tight spots.
Impressive 170km Range
What really sets this bike apart is its 170km (about 105 miles) range on a single charge. For daily commuters, this means you can ride for days without plugging in. The 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery charges in 4-5 hours with a standard outlet, and there’s a fast-charging option that gets you to 80% in just 2 hours. It’s practical for city life, with running costs as low as $2-3 per charge compared to gas bikes.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
Hero didn’t skimp on features. The bike has a digital dashboard showing speed, battery level, and range at a glance. Bluetooth lets you connect to a mobile app for ride stats and navigation alerts. There’s also a USB port to charge your phone on the go. Regenerative braking adds a bit of charge when you slow down, and a reverse mode helps with tricky parking spots. LED headlights and sleek alloy wheels give it a modern edge.
Affordable Price and Low Maintenance
Starting at $6,649, the Hero Electronic Splendor is priced to compete with other electric bikes like the Super73 or Zero FXE. It’s a steal for the range and features, especially with potential EV tax credits in the US that could lower the cost. Maintenance is a breeze—no oil changes or engine tune-ups, just occasional checks on brakes and the battery, which comes with a 3-year warranty.
Why It’s a Big Deal
The Hero Electronic Splendor brings a trusted brand to the US electric bike scene, combining affordability with practical tech. Its classic Splendor look with electric upgrades appeals to both new riders and eco-conscious commuters. With gas prices climbing, this bike offers a smart, green way to get around. Available now at Hero’s US dealerships, it’s ready to shake up urban commuting.
