2026 Hero Splendor Electric right in time for the New Year. This isn’t just another scooter—it’s the electric twist on the legendary Splendor we’ve all grown up riding. With prices starting at an unbeatable showroom tag and EMIs as low as ₹3,590 a month, it’s set to make green commuting a no-brainer for daily hustlers in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. Let’s dive into what makes this bad boy a game-changer.
Showroom Price
First off, the big reveal: the ex-showroom price kicks off at ₹85,000 for the base variant. That’s right—less than what you’d shell out for a used petrol Splendor these days! For the top-end model with all the bells and whistles, it’s around ₹1.05 lakhs. And get this, Hero’s tying up with banks for zero-down-payment options. That ₹3,590 monthly EMI? It’s for a 3-year loan at 8.5% interest, keeping your wallet happy without the fuel station drama. In a country where two-wheelers are lifelines, this pricing screams “everyone’s invited to the EV party.”
Powertrain Punch
Under the hood—or should I say, frame?—sits a zippy 3.5 kW BLDC motor dishing out 150 Nm torque. No revving engine noise, just smooth silent acceleration from 0-40 kmph in under 5 seconds. Top speed? A comfy 85 kmph, perfect for zipping through traffic without breaking a sweat. Battery’s a 4.2 kWh lithium-ion pack, IP67-rated to handle monsoons and potholes. Hero’s engineers kept the classic 97cc Splendor vibe but swapped gas for grids—think reliable like your uncle’s old bike, but zero emissions.
Mileage Magic: 286 KM
The 2026 Splendor Electric boasts a real-world range of 286 km per charge—enough to cover Mumbai to Pune without a pit stop! Hero claims it’s based on IDC testing, but city riders are reporting 250+ km easy. That’s like getting 100+ mpg in old-school terms. For families, it’s a win: drop kids at school, hit the office, grocery run, and still have juice left. In an era of rising fuel costs, this range means fewer worries and more miles of freedom.
Design & Charging
Visually, it’s pure nostalgia—the teardrop tank, upright posture, and chrome accents scream Splendor heritage, but with LED lights and a digital dash for that modern edge. Weighs just 105 kg, so even newbies can handle it. Charging? Hero’s ultra-fast setup juices it to 80% in 2.5 hours via a standard 15A socket—no fancy stations needed. Full charge overnight, and you’re golden. Colors? Classic black, fiery red, and a fresh electric blue to turn heads.
