India’s most trusted and best-selling bike, Hero Splendor, is stepping into the future with its all-new electric version in 2025. The Hero Splendor Electric 2025 keeps the same comfort, reliability, and simplicity that riders love, but now adds the benefits of electric power – no petrol, lower running costs, and silent performance. If you’re someone who wants to shift to electric but doesn’t want to compromise on comfort or trust, this electric Splendor might be the perfect upgrade.
Same Classic Design, Now With an Electric Touch
Hero hasn’t changed much in the overall design language of the Splendor. The Splendor Electric 2025 still carries the same familiar and timeless look that Indian families admire. It features:
- Traditional rectangular headlamp
- Slim body with balanced weight
- Strong metal build and simple lines
- Comfortable upright seating posture
This makes the electric Splendor instantly recognizable and easy to accept for users who don’t want flashy or unfamiliar electric scooter designs. The battery and motor are smoothly integrated into the frame, keeping the look clean and traditional.
Smooth and Silent Electric Performance
Under the body, the Splendor Electric 2025 carries a modern electric motor, which delivers around 4-5 kW of peak power, suitable for daily city rides. It may not be a speed monster, but it offers linear acceleration, zero noise, and no gear shifting, which is perfect for Indian roads and traffic.
The bike can reach a top speed of 70-80 km/h, which is more than enough for daily use. The electric motor provides instant torque, giving quick pickup even at low speeds.
Decent Range for Daily Commuters
The Hero Splendor Electric comes with a lithium-ion battery pack, offering a range of around 120 km on a single charge. This makes it ideal for:
- Office goers
- Delivery executives
- Students
- Daily commuters with round trips under 100 km
Charging the battery at home takes around 5-6 hours, while fast charging options (if available) can bring it up to 80% in less than 2 hours. The battery is designed to last long, with up to 1000+ charge cycles depending on usage.
Digital Display and Modern Features
Hero has added some modern features to keep the electric Splendor up to date with the current market. Key highlights include:
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- Battery level indicator
- Regenerative braking system
- Side-stand cut-off sensor
- USB charging port
- Remote lock and anti-theft alarm (in higher variant)
These features make your ride safer, more informed, and future-ready – while keeping the user experience simple and familiar.
Lower Running Costs and High Savings
One of the biggest advantages of switching to Splendor Electric is low running cost. Compared to petrol bikes, electric bikes save you a lot over time.
- Charging cost for 100 km: approx ₹10-15
- No engine oil or gear oil required
- Very low service and maintenance costs
- Government subsidies and tax benefits in some states
Within 1-2 years, users can recover the difference in cost compared to petrol models. It’s a smart financial choice for both individuals and small business owners.
Comfortable Ride Quality Like Before
The ride comfort remains one of the strongest points of Hero Splendor Electric. It still offers:
- Long, wide seat suitable for family and pillion rides
- Telescopic front suspension
- Rear dual shock absorbers
- Lightweight design for easy handling
- Stable ride even on speed breakers or rough roads
This means you get all the comfort of a regular Splendor, now with the quietness and ease of an electric vehicle.
Safety and Durability
Hero has ensured that safety is not compromised in this electric version. It includes:
- Front disc and rear drum brake (depending on variant)
- Combined braking system (CBS)
- Side stand engine cut-off
- Strong build quality for long life
- IP-rated water-resistant battery pack
You can trust the bike in monsoons, bad roads, and daily wear & tear, just like the regular Splendor.
Variants and Expected Price
The Hero Splendor Electric 2025 is expected to come in two variants – Standard and Pro. While final variant details may vary, the features and battery capacity will differ slightly.
The expected price will be around ₹1.05 to ₹1.15 lakh (ex-showroom). After FAME-II and state subsidies, the effective price could go as low as ₹85,000, depending on your location.
Compared to petrol Splendor, the upfront cost is higher, but long-term savings make it totally worth it.

- People shifting from petrol to electric for the first time
