Let’s be honest—if there is one bike that defines Indian roads, it is the Hero Splendor. For decades, it has been “Desh ki Dhadkan,” the trusty companion for millions of office-goers, students, and families. But with petrol prices touching the sky, even the most loyal fans were wishing for a change.
Well, Hero MotoCorp has listened! Meet the Hero Splendor Electric 2025. It’s the same trust, the same comfort, but with a silent, eco-friendly heart. No more queuing at petrol pumps—just plug, charge, and ride.
Is this the perfect replacement for your petrol bike? Let’s break it down.
1. Looks Familiar, Feels Futuristic
One of the best things Hero did was keep the design recognizable. It doesn’t look like an alien spaceship; it looks like a Splendor!
- Classic DNA: It retains that robust, “sada-bahar” (evergreen) look that we all love.
- Modern Touch: The old halogen bulb is gone, replaced by a sleek LED headlight that looks premium and saves battery.
- Digital Upgrade: The analog needle meter is history. You now get a fully digital instrument cluster that shows your speed, battery percentage, and how many kilometers you can still go.1
2. Range & Battery: No More Range Anxiety
The biggest question with EVs is always, “Kitna deti hai?” (or rather, how far does it go?).
The Splendor Electric packs a powerful Lithium-Ion battery that promises a real-world range of 120 to 150 km on a single charge.2
- Daily Commute: If your office is 20km away, you might only need to charge this bike twice a week!
- Charging: It supports standard home charging (4-6 hours). Plus, with Fast Charging, you can juice it up in just 2-3 hours.
- Convenience: There are rumors of a removable battery, which would be a lifesaver for people living in apartments without ground-floor parking.
3. Silent But Deadly (Efficient)
Forget the vibration and the noise of the engine. The new BLDC Hub Motor offers a silent, vibration-free ride.3
- Top Speed: It hits 80-90 km/h comfortably, which is perfect for city flyovers and even short highway runs.
- Instant Pickup: Unlike petrol engines that take a second to rev up, electric motors give instant torque.4 Green signal means you zoom off instantly!
- Zero Maintenance: No engine oil changes, no spark plugs, no chain tightening every month. Your mechanic might miss you, but your wallet won’t!
4. Loaded with Smart Features
This isn’t just a basic commuter anymore; it’s a smart bike.
- Mobile Connectivity: Connect your phone to manage calls, navigation, and check bike health.
- Riding Modes: Choose between Eco (for max range), Normal, and Sport (for max fun).
- Regenerative Braking: Every time you hit the brakes, the energy goes back into the battery, slightly increasing your range.
5. Price & Value: The Real Deal
Now, for the main topic—Price.
The Hero Splendor Electric is expected to launch between ₹1,00,000 to ₹1,20,000 (Ex-showroom).
While this sounds higher than the petrol version, think about the Running Cost.
- Petrol Splendor cost per km: Approx ₹2.50 – ₹3.00
- Electric Splendor cost per km: Approx ₹0.20 – ₹0.40
With government subsidies (FAME II / PM E-Drive) and state incentives, the effective price could drop further, making it a steal.
