Hero Electric has launched 3 new e-bikes under its ‘City Speed’ segment. Hero Electric reveals that the new e-bikes offer higher cruising speed and gradeability to easily ride on the flyovers and slopes. The three new e-bikes are - Optima-hx, Nyx-hx and Photon-hx. They are all based on its respective electric scooters - Optima e5, Nyx e5 and Photon LP & Li.
Hero Electric has reported that the e-scooters will be priced from Rs 57,560. With the addition of subsidies in regions like Delhi, the price of the vehicles are touted to reduce further.
Currently, Hero Electric boasts of a portfolio that consists of lightweight to city speed to high-speed performance scooters. Hero Electric’s products are gender agnostic with designs that can blend into anyone’s lifestyle and offer last-mile connectivity at minimal cost and zero emissions.
Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric India said, “The current E bike market is polarised with bikes available in low speed, very low price or high speed, very high prices. After years of research we have developed electrical power trains that have 'best in class' efficiencies, using the least amount of battery power, giving adequate pickup and speeds to go in tandem with the speed of traffic on our city roads. Using these power trains we have now launched a new range of bikes starting at Rs.57,560 that have a comfortable driving range from 70 km to 200 km. These bikes are so designed to give enough power and punch and great economy without stressing the batteries, resulting in high range per charge and very long life of the batteries.”
Hero Electric’s proposition is in line with the government’s vision to promote and foster the adoption of electric mobility in India. The company will further invest in R&D to introduce technologically advanced products that India needs in order to make the switch from ICE vehicles.
