The Hero Splendor, a name that’s been a favorite in Indian households for years, is going electric! Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch the Hero Electric Splendor on Dussehra 2025, bringing an eco-friendly twist to this iconic bike. With a 205 km range, modern features, and an affordable price, this bike is ready to make waves in the commuter market. Here’s a closer look at what makes it special.
Premium Design
The Hero Electric Splendor keeps the classic look that fans love, with a sleek, practical design perfect for daily rides. It sports a round LED headlamp, a tank-like storage compartment, and stylish matte panels in colors like Matte Black, Blue Accent, and Silver. The lightweight 110 kg frame and 785 mm seat height make it easy to handle, especially for city riders. Subtle updates like blue accents and modern graphics give it a fresh, electric vibe while staying true to its Splendor roots.
Powerful Engine and Performance
This electric Splendor is powered by a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery and a hub-mounted electric motor. It delivers smooth acceleration and instant torque, hitting a top speed of 85 km/h—great for city streets and short highway trips. With three riding modes—Eco, Normal, and Power—you can switch between max range or quick performance. In Eco mode, the bike can stretch up to 220 km with careful riding, making it a solid choice for daily commutes.
Ride and Handling
The bike’s ride quality is a big plus. It comes with telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers, tuned to handle India’s bumpy roads. Whether you’re dodging potholes or cruising through traffic, the suspension keeps things smooth. The low center of gravity and light frame make it super nimble, perfect for weaving through crowded streets or tight lanes. The comfy, cushioned seat ensures you and your pillion stay relaxed, even on longer rides.
Safety Features
Safety gets a boost with the Hero Electric Splendor. It includes a front disc brake with ABS to prevent skidding during sudden stops, a feature not always seen in budget bikes. Tubeless tires offer better grip on wet roads, and a side-stand cut-off adds extra safety. The semi-digital display shows speed, battery level, and trip data clearly, helping you stay in control.
Price and Variants
Priced at around ₹95,000 (ex-showroom) for the base model, the Hero Electric Splendor is budget-friendly. Premium variants with extra features go up to ₹1.1 lakh. With government EV subsidies, you could save ₹10,000–20,000, making it a steal compared to rivals like the Ola S1 or Bajaj Chetak. It’s available in multiple variants, with the top model offering a removable battery for easy charging. Bookings open on Dussehra at Hero dealerships and online platforms, with EMI plans and exchange bonuses on offer.
The Hero Electric Splendor blends reliability, low running costs, and green tech, making it a smart pick for commuters. Get ready for a new era of Splendor this festive season!
