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.

Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company, part of TVS VENU, handed over 10 TVS Apache RR 200 Mini motorcycles to the Madras Motor Sports Club (MMSC) to support a structured rider development programme for aspiring racers aged 10–14 years.

The initiative, named the TVS Apache Junior Programme, provides training and mentorship at the Madras International Karting Arena (MIKA). Participants will train on the purpose-built TVS Apache RR 200 Mini motorcycles, which will be available on rent as part of the scheme. The curriculum focuses on racing fundamentals, including discipline, precision, control, safety and physical conditioning, under the guidance of instructors and TVS Racing champions.

The programme forms the initial tier of a four-stage talent development framework designed to transition young riders into professional circuit racing. Following the TVS Apache Junior Programme for ages 10–14, riders aged 15 and above can enter competitive circuit racing through the TVS OMC Rookie Category. Subsequent levels include the TVS OMC RR 310 Expert Category for advanced development, leading to opportunities in the TVS Racing International Championship.

Safety protocols remain integrated into the training structure. Participants receive coaching in controlled environments, using specialised safety equipment and protective gear alongside the mini motorcycles.

Vimal Sumbly, Head – Premium Business, TVS Motor Company, said, "At TVS Motor Company, racing is more than a sport—it is part of our DNA. For over four decades, we have championed performance, precision and safety while building India's motorsport ecosystem. With competitive racing under FMSCI regulations beginning at the age of 15, the TVS Apache Junior Programme addresses the need for structured early training by providing aspiring riders aged 10–14 years with world-class coaching in a safe, controlled environment. Powered by the TVS Apache RR 200 Mini Motorcycle at the Madras International Karting Arena and guided by TVS Racing experts, the programme creates a clear pathway for India's future racing champions while strengthening the grassroots of Indian motorsport."

The launch coincides with the 20th anniversary of the TVS Apache brand, which now represents a community of over 7 million riders across 90 countries. The development programme extends the manufacturer's 40-year involvement in domestic motorsport by linking grassroots talent identification with its broader racing operations.
