Hero Electric Splendor will now run with 100KM range, 4kWh lithium ion battery, will be launched on this day
Hero Electric Splendor: Electric vehicle market in India is booming, and Hero Electric is not staying behind. Hero has been working silently but steadily to electrify its most loved motorcycle, Splendor. Known for its reliability and mileage, the Hero Splendor has been the heartbeat of Indian roads for decades. Now, the electric version of the same iconic bike is set to take the EV world by storm.
Design of Hero Electric Splendor
Hero has ensured that the electric version of the Splendor stays true to its original design philosophy. If you’ve seen the classic Splendor before, the electric model won’t look very different. This makes it easier for people to transition from petrol to electric without losing the familiar look and feel.
From the first glance, the bike maintains its iconic commuter-friendly styling straight seat, upright riding posture, and simple aesthetics. The only significant change is under the seat and side panels, where the battery pack and electric motor are tucked in neatly.
Battery and Range
The biggest attraction of the Hero Electric Splendor is its 4kWh Lithium-ion battery. Unlike some smaller electric scooters or bikes with 1.5-2kWh batteries, Hero is offering a much more powerful battery pack in this model.
What does this mean for riders? Simple—the bike can deliver up to 100 kilometers of range on a single full charge. For daily office-goers, short-distance travelers, and city commuters, this range is more than enough. You could go to work, run errands, and come back without worrying about charging in the middle of the day.
Motor and Performance
Hero Electric Splendor is likely to be powered by a high-torque hub motor, delivering smooth acceleration and silent operation. Though this isn’t a high-speed performance bike, it’s designed to handle daily commutes efficiently.
- Motor Power: 3kW to 4kW (Expected)
- Top Speed: Around 70 to 80 KM/H
- Torque: Instant torque delivery typical of electric motors
- Transmission: Single-speed, no gear shifting needed

In addition to its electric heart, the Hero Electric Splendor is expected to come with some smart features that modern riders demand. Hero understands that today’s buyers want more than just performance—they want technology too.
- Digital Instrument Cluster
- Battery Status Indicator
- Smartphone Connectivity via App
- GPS-based Navigation Support
- USB Charging Port for Mobile Devices
