The beloved Hero Splendor—a mainstay of urban India for its unbeatable reliability and mileage—is now being reborn in electric form. Hero MotoCorp has quietly been working on this transition for nearly two years, and aim to introduce the Splendor Electric—codenamed Project AEDA—by 2027. This move marks the brand’s bold entry into the commuter EV space, aiming for a whopping 2 lakh units per year production.
Clean Design Meets Classic Look
While official pictures are pending, concept renders and early descriptions suggest that the Splendor Electric will retain its familiar commuter-bike shape—simple, rugged, and functional—but with electric elements like a streamlined battery pack, and possibly a modernized front fascia. The idea is to stay loyal to the classic, everyday look, but deliver a clean, electric edge.
Tech Expectations That Amaze
Technical specs are yet to be confirmed. Still, industry reports hint at a battery range of around 120 to 150 km per charge, swappable lithium-ion battery tech, a top speed near 80 km/h, and fast charging support to keep that urban commute hassle-free. If Hero keeps it affordable—estimated starting price around ₹99,000 to ₹1.25 lakh—this could be a real game-changer.
Part of a Bigger Electric Plan
The electric Splendor is just the tip of the iceberg. Hero plans to roll out a diverse EV lineup—including scooters, electric dirt bikes (like the Vida Lynx in 2026), and even e-bikes matching 150cc and 250cc ICE categories. This fits their vision to reach over 5 lakh electric two-wheelers annually by 2027–28.
Conclusion
The Hero Splendor Electric poised to launch in 2027 is shaping up to be a milestone in India’s EV journey. It brings true mass-market potential—pairing the trusted identity of Splendor with cleaner, greener commuting. With Hero’s massive dealer network and smart positioning, this affordable electric commuter could very well become India’s new bestseller again, only now it runs on electricity.
