By Soumya Ranjan Hero will introduce the Hero Electric Splendor bike, which has a 205-kilometer range, on August 15. Here are some of its unique features.
One of the largest two-wheeler manufacturers in India, Hero MotoCorp, is getting ready for a major announcement on August 15, 2025. A thrilling new iteration of their well-known Splendor bike is being introduced. It’s going electric this time! The high point? a staggering range of 205 kilometers on a single charge. That way, you won’t have to worry about running out of juice on your daily commute. This electric twist attempts to carry on the Splendor’s tradition of dependability and affordability while incorporating contemporary eco-friendly elements. Let’s examine what makes this bike unique, from its appearance to its cost.
Design
With a new, contemporary design, the Hero Splendor electric maintains the iconic shape that millions adore. Its sleek, lightweight, and robust body is a result of a high-strength frame composed of cutting-edge alloys. Despite having no gaudy curves that shout “look at me,” the design is straightforward and functional, yet its crisp lines still draw attention.
Engine Performance
Hold on, there isn’t a conventional engine here because it is electric. Rather than the noise and vibrations of gasoline-powered motorcycles, a strong electric motor provides smooth performance. The motor can easily speed through city streets thanks to its rated 4kW, or roughly 5.4 horsepower. With instant torque of about 25 Nm, you can accelerate quickly from 0 to 60 kmph in less than 8 seconds. Compared to many commuter bikes, that is faster!
Mileage
How many miles? When it comes to electric bikes, range is important, and the Splendor excels with 205 kilometers on a single charge. It is based on tests conducted in the real world under a variety of circumstances, including city traffic, highways, and some hills. If you ride carefully, you might even be able to push it to 220 km in Eco mode. With a 3.5kWh capacity, the battery is efficient enough to maintain extremely low operating costs. In comparison to filling up with petrol, imagine only paying Rs 20-30 for a full charge!
Features
This Splendor is full of clever features that make riding safe and enjoyable, so it’s not just about going green. With Bluetooth connectivity, the fully digital dashboard displays navigation tips in addition to speed, battery level, and remaining range. By pairing it with your phone, you can use a Hero app to track your travels, play music, and receive call alerts.
Price
Hero is known for keeping prices low, and the estimated starting price of this electric splendor (ex-showroom) is approximately Rs 95,000. That is comparable to other low-cost EVs like the Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1. The base model costs Rs 95k, while the top-end model with additional features costs Rs 1.1 lakh. Government electric vehicle subsidies could save you between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000, making it even more affordable.
