Hero Electric has launched its flagship product, the Avior e-cycle in Delhi. Naveen Munjal, managing director, Hero Eco Group, said, “We are extremely thrilled to introduce Hero Eco’s world leading German technology in India through our new product Avior. We are committed to our vision to provide green mobility to the country and look forward to consistent innovation towards developing remarkable products for the Indian EV market.”
Avior e-cycles are powered with six-speed Shimano gears riding at a maximum speed of 25kph. The product has alloy wheels with a maximum battery charge time of 9-10 hours.
Sohinder Gill, CEO, Global Business, Hero Electric India, added, “Hero Electric with its commitment to the Indian EV industry has always prioritised innovation and quality. With the expected growth in the Indian EV industry, we are thrilled to introduce leading global technology to our patrons. We are hopeful that our Indian consumers will welcome this change and flaunt the all-new pedallac joining in the e-vehicle revolution. We continue our support to preserve the pristine ecology and contribute least to the environmental pollution.”
The Avior is primarily targeted at the urban lifestyle, largely working corporates, young professionals and the youth. The company is hopeful of sensitizing the large urban population across all the metro cities to adopt these e-cycles as an alternate mode of transportation for commuting quick distance.
“With the growing concern over the traffic grid lock in our country, we are aware of the impelling issues faced by the public. In the absence of favourable weather and roads, cycling is often seen as a tedious and strenuous activity by the general masses across India. Whilst cycling is also being adopted as fitness experience, we with this new flagship product hope to take cycling experience to the next level with the added comfort of Avior e-cycles,” added Gill.
The Hero Electric Avior e-cycle is launched in two variants – Avior AMX at Rs 19,290 and Avior AFX at Rs 18,990 (on-road Delhi) for both male and female riders. AMX is available in black and AFX is available in burgundy colour. The products are on sale across all the five metro cities in India.
