Splendor Electric by Hero Motor Corp has been a long awaited two wheeler in the motor industry since they are the largest two wheeler manufacturers in the country, however, they have indeed set the bar high in the world of sustainable mobility. Splendor has remained a household name in the two wheeler segment of motor vehicles, and recieved record sales during the years and now they hope to achieve the same with the Electric variant while maintaining the budget friendly price.
Splendor’s Super Mileage
The Splendor silhouette has been a household name and a trademark in India, and with the new modifications of Electric Splendor, they have kept the silhouette as is to ensure that the classical riders feel comfortable. Modifications set it apart include renovations like easeer LEDs and a more keen and polished finish that has been noticed accross the motorcycles. Satisfying younger riders is criticalnow more than ever, and in an attempt to cater to that group, they decided to implement new tech while still retaining the Splendor feel.
70 KM Range
The most vital component of an electric two wheeler has always been the battery, and Hero has seemed to make a practical balance with this component as well.
The reported 70 Kilometer range of the Splendor Electric is ideal for daily intra-city commutes. Its lithium-ion battery pack can be charged indoors and is easy to swap, making the charging process user-friendly. As noted by the officials from Hero, the charging time is around 4-5 hours and is likely to improve with future models.
Smart Features For Everyday Riders
Unlike the original Splendor, the electric version comes with smart features . Riders are also able to monitor their vehicles through the Hero mobile app. Safety and comfort features are also more advanced and include combined braking, anti-theft alerts, and regenerative braking. These features make the Splendor Electric far more technologically advanced than its petrol counterpart.
Strategically Targeting the Mass Market
The key marketing advantage of the Splendor Electric is its targeted price range, which is suited to the middle-class commuter. This is seen to be the strongest advantage of the product. Many start-up companies entering the two-wheeler EV market in India tend to price their vehicles out of reach for the average commuter, which unlike the Splendor Electric, is not affordable.
Hero Splendor Electric Launched
Industry analysts believe that the Hero Splendor Electric has the potential to be a true game changer if the brand maintains a reputation for reliability and support. The brand’s strongest asset is the Splendor’s reputation, and for many, the name is synonymous with easy ownership and great fuel efficiency. An industry analyst remarked, “For India’s everyday rider, the switch to electric will only make sense if it feels dependable and affordable. That’s exactly what Hero is trying to assure with this launch.”
As the world trends toward green mobility, the Hero Splendor Electric is not merely another EV added to the infrastructure, but signifies the potential to break into rural and semi-urban India, parts of the country that have been skeptical toward electric adoption.
