Hero Splendour Electric: 7 Key Things You Must Know Before Buying

Hello friend — Hope you are doing good. Today I want to tell you about Hero Splendour Electric — why I think this bike could be a great choice for many, especially for someone like us from a small or mid-sized town. I will try to keep it simple and write as if I’m just sharing my honest thoughts.

What is Hero Splendour Electric

Hero is preparing an electric version of its much-loved Splendour — called Hero Splendour Electric.  It isn’t on the roads yet — but many reports suggest the launch is expected around 2027. 

According to publicly available info, the estimated ex-showroom price (in a big city, like Delhi) is ₹ 99,000 for the basic variant.  Of course, the on-road price in our town (or near us) may be a little higher — because of local taxes, registration, etc. But this gives a good rough idea.

Why I think it’s Special

Do you know — this Hero Splendour Electric feels very special because it aims to combine the trust and simplicity of the classic Splendour with the benefits of electric power.

• For decades, the regular Splendour (and its variants) are known for reliability, low cost, and ease of maintenance. People buy it because it just keeps running without major worries.
  
• Now imagine all that, but without petrol — that could save a lot of money for daily riders, and make things simple.
  

Because Hero is a well-known brand in India, and Splendour has a long legacy, many people will feel confident that the electric version will also be durable and easy to service.

What we know about its Features & Expected Performance

Let’s go over what’s been shared so far about Hero Splendour Electric features — and what I hope will hold true when it launches:

• The fuel type is electric (of course), so no petrol tank or fuel worries.
  
• It’s planned as a commuter-type bike, so not meant for racing or very high speeds — but suitable for daily use, city travel, short-distance commuting.
  
• As per some sources, with proper battery and setup, it may give a good range on single charge — which could match typical daily or weekly usage (though Hero hasn’t confirmed official real-world range yet). 

Because it’s electric, you’ll also likely save on fuel cost (no petrol), and maintenance may be simpler — no complex engine oil changes, fewer moving parts, etc. For daily riders or someone commuting within town, this can mean big savings over time.

Why It Makes Sense for Someone from Our Town

Since we are from a town (not a big metro), here’s why I feel Hero Splendour Electric could be a really good fit:

• Price-wise, if ex-showroom is about ₹ 99,000 — it might translate (after taxes etc) to somewhere around maybe ₹ 1.05 lakh to ₹ 1.20 lakh — still affordable compared to many bikes or scooters.
  
• For daily commute — to college, work, shops, market — an electric commuter bike is ideal. No need to worry about petrol stations or rising petrol prices.
  
• Low maintenance and easy to ride — good if you don’t want a heavy bike or complicated servicing.
  
• If battery and charging infrastructure is decent at our place, using an EV will be far more economical in long run.
  

What We Should Keep in Mind / What’s Still Unclear

Because the bike isn’t launched yet, there are some unknowns — so one should keep realistic expectations:

• Real on-road price in our town — may be more than estimated, depending on local taxes, road permit charges, battery options, etc.
  
• Battery range and actual charging ease — even though some reports talk about good range on paper, real life depends on many factors (traffic, load, weather).
  
• Spare parts, servicing & battery replacement — as its electric and new, we don’t yet know how easy or expensive maintenance will be after many years.
  
• Actual build and comfort — sometimes bikes look great on paper, but real comfort, suspension, stability matter a lot, especially on Indian roads.
  

So if I were in your position, I would wait for official launch and maybe try to test ride (if possible) before final buy.

My Personal View: Who Should Wait, Who Should Go for It

You might consider this bike if:

• You travel daily inside town (office, market, shops) or have short commuting — not long highway rides.
  
• You care about saving fuel cost, want low maintenance, and are okay with a simpler bike.
  
• You want to ride something from a trusted brand and don’t want to spend too much money.
  

Maybe wait if:

• You often travel long distances or roads are rough — because we don’t yet know real-world performance.
  
• You want very high top-speed or heavy-duty performance.
  
• You are concerned about battery servicing in a small town (since EV servicing might take time to become widespread).
  

Conclusion: I Think Hero Splendour Electric Could Be a Smart Everyday Bike

All in all, Hero Splendour Electric seems like a very promising bike — especially for daily commuting, saving money, and getting an electric ride without spending too much.

If Hero does launch it at reasonable price and ensures decent battery & service support, I believe many people from small towns (like us) will find it a very good and practical choice.

Let’s wait for the launch, and when it comes, we can see closely what real users say — that will tell if it is really as good as it sounds now.

Take care, brother/sister — and if you want, I can also write a short comparison: Splendour Electric vs classic Splendour Plus (so you can see pros & cons side by side) — want me to do that for you now?

FAQs

1. When will Hero Splendour Electric be available for sale in India?

We don’t have an exact launch date yet. As of now, the company has indicated that it is planning to bring this electric version in the next few years — so we may see it on showrooms around 2026 or 2027, depending on production and launch plan.

2. How much will Hero Splendour Electric cost?

As per shared estimates, the ex-showroom price might be around ₹ 99,000. But in our town — after taxes, registration, and local charges — the on-road price could come to around ₹ 1.05 lakh to ₹ 1.20 lakh (or slightly more).

3. Will it suit daily commuting and local use?

Yes — if you mostly ride inside town, to work, college, shops or market, this electric bike could be a good fit. It’s expected to be easy to ride, low maintenance, and cheaper than petrol bikes over time.

4. What about battery range and charging convenience?

The advertised range (on single charge) seems promising on paper. But real-life range will depend on how you ride — traffic, load, speed. Also, charging convenience will depend on availability of a charging point at home or nearby. For short daily rides, it could be practical; for long rides or frequent use, we should wait and check after actual launch.

5. Will maintenance and spare parts be easy to get in a small town?

That’s one of the uncertain parts yet. Since this is a new electric model, the availability of spare parts and battery-related servicing in smaller towns like ours may take time to become common. So, if you buy it soon after launch, you should check if there’s a nearby service center — otherwise it might be a bit inconvenient.
