The Hero Splendor, India’s most trusted commuter motorcycle, is set to make a historic transition with its electric avatar. With rising fuel costs and an accelerating shift toward sustainable mobility, the Hero Splendor Electric is expected to retain the beloved styling of the original while offering an emission-free, cost-saving riding experience.
Expected Design and Styling
Hero MotoCorp is expected to retain the classic look of the Splendor in its electric version. This means familiar bodywork, upright seating posture, and simple aesthetics, now enhanced with subtle EV badging and modern elements like a fully digital instrument cluster and LED lighting. The bike is expected to be lightweight and ideal for city commuting just like its petrol predecessor.
Battery, Range, and Motor Specs
The Hero Splendor Electric is likely to be powered by a 3 to 4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with a BLDC electric motor capable of delivering top speeds of up to 75 km/h. On a full charge, the expected riding range could go between 120 to 140 kilometers, making it a practical and reliable option for daily commuting without fuel dependency.
Charging Time and Performance
The battery is expected to support home charging with a 4- to 5-hour charging time, and Hero may introduce a fast-charging option as well. With instant torque delivery and silent operation, the Splendor Electric will offer a smoother ride compared to traditional petrol bikes, especially in start-stop city traffic.
Target Price and Launch Timeline in India
The Hero Splendor Electric is expected to launch at a starting price of around ₹90,000 to ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it as one of the most affordable electric motorcycles in India. Hero MotoCorp is likely to launch this EV model in late 2025 or early 2026, depending on battery localization and production timelines.
Why Hero Splendor Electric Could Be a Game-Changer
With a massive user base already loyal to the Splendor brand, the electric version is expected to attract first-time EV buyers, working professionals, and budget-conscious riders. Low running cost, no fuel expenses, minimal servicing, and ease of use will make it one of the most practical electric motorcycles for the Indian middle class.
