Hero, India’s most trusted name in two-wheel mobility, has expanded its electric vehicle portfolio with the official launch of the Hero Electric Cycle 2025. Combining the brand’s legacy of innovation with modern electric technology, the new e-cycle is designed for sustainable, efficient, and comfortable urban commuting.
As India shifts toward green mobility, this new Hero e-cycle blends affordability, practicality, and performance, offering a perfect alternative for office-goers, fitness enthusiasts, and short-distance travelers who seek a cleaner, smarter way to move.
Design and Build Quality
The Hero Electric Cycle 2025 embodies a minimalist yet modern design. Built on a lightweight aluminum alloy frame, it ensures durability while maintaining easy maneuverability. The geometry of the frame has been optimized for both male and female riders, offering a comfortable upright riding position.
The battery is semi-integrated into the down tube, maintaining balance and stability. Hero’s new “EcoRide” frame design includes internal wiring, a splash-resistant motor cover, and an extended rear carrier for convenience.
Available in three stylish color options — Matte Blue, Graphite Gray, and Sunset Orange — the e-cycle’s sleek appearance complements both fitness and daily commute needs. The adjustable seat post, ergonomic handlebars, and soft-grip pedals make it suitable for all age groups.
Motor and Performance
Powering the Hero Electric Cycle is a 250W brushless DC hub motor, optimized for smooth acceleration and reliable torque delivery. The motor is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, ensuring consistent performance across India’s varying climates.
The cycle delivers a top speed of 25 km/h, keeping it compliant with Indian e-bike regulations that do not require a driving license or registration. The Pedal Assist System (PAS) features three assistance levels — Eco, Cruise, and Sport — allowing users to choose how much motor power supports their pedaling.
-
Eco Mode: Prioritizes battery efficiency, ideal for long rides.
-
Cruise Mode: Balanced mode for everyday commuting.
-
Sport Mode: Offers maximum torque for uphill or high-speed rides.
The assist sensors are highly responsive, adjusting power instantly based on the rider’s effort. Additionally, a walk-assist mode helps push the bike easily when maneuvering in tight spaces.
Battery and Range
The Hero Electric Cycle comes equipped with a 36V, 7.8Ah lithium-ion removable battery, ensuring a perfect balance between weight and endurance. The battery uses high-density Samsung cells and is detachable, allowing easy indoor charging.
Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours using the included 3A fast charger. The Battery Management System (BMS) provides protection against overcharging, overheating, and short circuits.
Range varies based on mode and terrain:
-
Up to 70 km in Eco Mode
-
Up to 55 km in Cruise Mode
-
Up to 45 km in Sport Mode
For longer routes, Hero offers an optional extended battery pack that increases range up to 100 km, making it ideal for delivery riders and long-distance cyclists.
Comfort and Suspension
Hero’s engineers have focused on rider comfort for Indian roads. The front suspension fork provides 80mm travel, absorbing bumps and uneven surfaces efficiently. The wide 700x38C all-terrain tires offer excellent grip on city roads and light trails.
The dual mechanical disc brakes ensure powerful, consistent stopping performance even in wet conditions. Hero also provides a regen braking system, which slightly recharges the battery while braking on descents.
The gel-padded saddle, adjustable stem, and ergonomic grip handlebar minimize fatigue during long rides. Every design choice reflects Hero’s emphasis on comfort and stability for daily commuting.
Smart Display and Digital Features
The handlebar-mounted LCD digital display is both functional and stylish. It shows:
-
Current speed and distance covered
-
Battery percentage and estimated range
-
Chosen assist mode
-
Trip time and riding stats
The display also includes a backlight mode for clear visibility at night.
Additionally, Hero’s SmartRide mobile app connects via Bluetooth, offering features such as ride history, GPS route tracking, calorie estimation, and remote locking. The app also allows over-the-air firmware updates for motor and battery management improvements.
Safety Features
Hero prioritizes rider safety across its electric line-up. The e-cycle includes integrated front LED headlight and a rear brake light powered directly from the main battery. Reflectors on the spokes, pedals, and rear carrier enhance visibility.
The braking system includes motor cut-off protection, ensuring the motor power instantly disengages when brakes are applied. The sturdy frame, wide tire base, and water-resistant connectors make it ready for daily Indian commute conditions, even during monsoon season.
Maintenance and Warranty
The Hero Electric Cycle is designed for low maintenance. The sealed motor and chain guard prevent dust accumulation, while the weather-resistant connectors extend the lifespan of electrical components.
Hero offers a 2-year warranty on the motor and controller and an 18-month warranty on the battery. The brand’s wide service network across India ensures easy availability of spare parts and expert technicians.
The cycle requires only basic upkeep, such as chain lubrication and brake adjustments every few months.
Pricing and Variants in India
Hero’s new e-cycle lineup is available in two main variants, catering to both casual riders and professionals.
| Variant | Range | Battery | Expected Price (India) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero EcoRide 7.8Ah | Up to 70 km | 36V, 7.8Ah | ₹38,999 |
| Hero EcoRide+ 10.4Ah | Up to 100 km | 36V, 10.4Ah | ₹44,999 |
Pre-bookings for the Hero Electric Cycle began in October 2025, with deliveries starting from November 2025. It will be available through Hero Electric dealerships, select Hero Cycles outlets, and e-commerce platforms.
Buyers can expect launch offers including ₹2,000 cashback, free accessories kit, and interest-free EMIs.
Why the Hero Electric Cycle Stands Out
The Hero Electric Cycle (2025) represents a step forward in India’s green mobility revolution. With its strong design, reliable performance, and affordable price, it makes electric commuting accessible to a wide range of riders.
Its three-level pedal assist system, smooth suspension, and long-range battery provide the right mix of comfort and power. Compared to imported e-bikes, Hero’s model offers better after-sales support, local servicing, and affordable spares — essential for the Indian market.
Whether it’s your daily office commute, fitness ride, or weekend exploration, the Hero e-cycle promises a cleaner, quieter, and more enjoyable experience on every ride. It’s not just a bicycle — it’s the future of personal mobility, proudly built in India.
