Hero Cycles has rolled out its most advanced electric bicycle to date — the new Hero Electric Cycle, boasting an exceptional range of 210 km on a single charge. This launch marks another major step in Hero’s journey toward promoting clean and efficient urban mobility, positioning the brand as a leader in India’s evolving e-bike market.
Cutting-Edge Battery Performance
At the core of this innovation lies its powerful high-density lithium-ion battery pack, engineered to deliver an unmatched 210 km range under optimal conditions. This breakthrough directly addresses the biggest concern of e-bike users — range anxiety.
During the launch, a Hero Cycles spokesperson highlighted, “Our latest e-cycle empowers riders to travel longer distances confidently, whether for everyday commutes or extended rides.”
Adding to its practicality, the battery is fully removable for easy charging and integrates a smart battery management system to enhance efficiency and battery longevity. A full recharge requires just 4 to 5 hours with the supplied standard charger, making it convenient for both home and workplace use. With this launch, Hero Cycles reinforces its dedication to sustainable, future-ready mobility.
Powerful and Efficient Motor
The e-cycle is powered by a 350W brushless hub motor that delivers smooth and consistent power. The motor offers five levels of pedal assist, allowing riders to choose their preferred balance between electric assistance and physical effort. Additionally, a throttle mode enables fully electric riding without pedaling when needed.
The motor is designed to provide sufficient torque for tackling inclines up to 15 degrees with ease, making it suitable for various terrains and riding conditions across India’s diverse landscape.
