Hero Splendor Electric bike- Hero MotoCorp has officially introduced the Splendor Electric, the long-awaited electric avatar of India’s most trusted commuter motorcycle. This launch marks a defining moment in Hero’s electrification journey, bringing zero-emission technology to the country’s best-selling two-wheeler nameplate — a move set to redefine sustainable commuting for millions.
Revolutionary Powertrain for Everyday Performance
At the heart of the Splendor Electric is a 5.2 kW BLDC motor, engineered to deliver an ideal balance of performance and efficiency for daily riders. The motorcycle sprints from 0–40 km/h in just 3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 100 km/h, offering smooth, responsive performance suited for both city traffic and short intercity rides.
“The Splendor Electric embodies our vision of sustainable mobility while upholding the reliability, simplicity, and efficiency that have made the Splendor a household name in India,” said a Hero MotoCorp spokesperson during the official launch event.
Battery and Range
The heart of the Splendor Electric is its advanced 4.2kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which offers an impressive range of 290 kilometers on a single charge under ideal conditions. The battery supports fast charging technology, reaching full capacity in approximately 45-60 minutes with a compatible charger.
For customers concerned about charging infrastructure, Hero has implemented a comprehensive charging solution:
- Home charging kit included with every purchase
- Access to Hero’s growing network of fast-charging stations
- Optional portable charger for emergency situations

Market Positioning
The Splendor Electric enters a growing but competitive electric two-wheeler market in India. Hero MotoCorp is leveraging its extensive dealer network—the largest in the country—to provide unmatched service support, a critical factor for EV adoption in smaller cities and rural areas.
With the government’s push for electric mobility through incentives and subsidies, the timing of the launch aligns perfectly with market trends. The Splendor Electric will compete with offerings from Ola Electric, Ather Energy, and TVS in the premium electric two-wheeler segment.

Hero MotoCorp has announced a phased rollout strategy for the Splendor Electric:
- Phase 1 (November 2025): Metropolitan cities including Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad
- Phase 2 (January 2026): State capitals and major tier-2 cities
- Phase 3 (March 2026): Nationwide availability
Pre-bookings have commenced across all Hero dealerships and on the company’s website for a token amount of ₹1,999, with deliveries scheduled to begin from November 15, 2025.
Future Roadmap
The launch of the Splendor Electric is part of Hero MotoCorp’s broader strategy to electrify its popular models. The company has indicated plans to introduce electric versions of other popular models in its lineup over the next 18-24 months.
Additionally, Hero is investing in battery swapping infrastructure in partnership with leading energy companies, which will further enhance the practicality of electric two-wheelers for Indian consumers.
With the Splendor Electric, Hero MotoCorp aims to replicate the phenomenal success of its petrol-powered counterpart, which has been the backbone of Indian mobility for decades, while leading the country’s transition to a cleaner, electric future.
