A Glimpse of the Future: The New Electric Motorcycle
This new electric motorcycle was caught testing under light camouflage, revealing a design that fuses commuter sensibility with adventure-ready grit. Unlike the minimalist Hero Splendor, this bike boasts a chunky frame, robust metal tubing, and a rugged vibe that screams durability. Built to carry riders, passengers, and cargo, it’s ready to conquer India’s varied landscapes, from Delhi’s jammed roads to the dusty paths of Madhya Pradesh.
Standout design features include:
Heavy-Duty Frame: Thicker tubing than rivals like the Splendor Plus or Honda Shine 100, built for heavy loads and long hauls.
Extra-Long Seat: A wide, plush saddle—bigger than the Bajaj Freedom CNG’s—ensuring comfort for rides to Jaipur or Kochi.
Rear Cargo Rack: A sturdy rack for luggage, ideal for delivery riders or weekend escapes to Munnar.
Large Footrests: Enhanced pillion comfort, perfect for family commutes in Lucknow or rural Tamil Nadu.
Desi Flair: With its tough-as-nails build, this new electric motorcycle feels like the two-wheeler version of India’s beloved bullock carts—modernized for the EV era!
Powertrain and Performance Clues
While exact specs are still hush-hush, the new electric motorcycle drops hints of its potential:
Massive Battery Pack: The thick frame conceals a large battery, suggesting a class-leading range of 100–150 km, surpassing many 100cc petrol bikes.
Mid-Mounted Motor: A chain-drive system ensures easy upkeep at local mechanics, a big plus for riders in Tier-2 cities like Bhubaneswar or Nagpur.
Torque-Driven Ride: Its heavier build prioritizes low-end grunt, making it ideal for navigating Hyderabad’s traffic snarls or climbing slopes in Darjeeling.
Equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels and dual-purpose tyres, the bike balances city grip with light off-road capability. Suspension features telescopic forks up front and dual rear shocks, while disc brakes with Combined Braking System (CBS) ensure safety on chaotic roads like NH44. A sleek rectangular digital LCD display and a potential USB charging port add modern touches without losing the commuter soul.
Splendor Slayer or Niche Contender?
The Hero Splendor, with 34.98 lakh units sold in FY25, is India’s undisputed commuter champ, loved for its ₹77,176–86,128 price, 70 kmpl efficiency, and rock-solid reliability. It faces off against the Honda Shine 100 and Bajaj Platina, but the new electric motorcycle brings a fresh twist with its ADV flair and electric heart.
Feature | New Electric Motorcycle | Hero Splendor Plus |
|---|---|---|
Price (Est.) | ₹80,000–1.2 lakh | ₹77,176–80,176 |
Powertrain | Electric, mid-mounted motor | 97.2cc petrol, 7.8 hp |
Range/Mileage | 100–150 km (est.) | 70 kmpl |
Design | ADV-inspired, rugged | Classic commuter |
Tech | Digital LCD, USB port | Analog (Xtec: digital) |
The new electric motorcycle swaps petrol’s simplicity for zero-emission rides, appealing to green-minded riders in Pune or Chandigarh. Its bulkier frame may not suit everyone, but the cargo rack and ADV styling make it a versatile pick for delivery pros or thrill-seekers eyeing weekend runs to Rishikesh.
Why This Bike Resonates with India
The new electric motorcycle is built for India’s evolving two-wheeler scene:
Green Commutes: Zero emissions support India’s 2030 EV goals, cutting smog in cities like Kanpur or Ahmedabad.
Workhorse Vibes: The sturdy frame and luggage rack cater to e-commerce riders in Bengaluru or shopkeepers hauling goods in rural Odisha.
Adventure Edge: The ADV look draws young riders who want Splendor reliability with a Royal Enfield Hunter’s attitude for trips to Leh.
Wallet-Friendly Upkeep: The chain-drive and simple EV setup keep repair costs low, a win for mechanics in Patna or Madurai.
Cultural Hook: This bike’s rugged charm channels India’s never-say-die ethos, ready to brave monsoon floods in Mumbai or dusty trails in Jodhpur.
Roadblocks to Watch
The new electric motorcycle faces challenges:
Charging Gaps: Limited charging stations in non-metro areas like Raipur or Guwahati could slow adoption.
Brand Mystery: Without a logo, it must battle giants like Hero and Bajaj in a trust-driven market.
Weight Trade-Off: Its heavier build may compromise agility in tight spaces, key for riders in Chennai’s narrow lanes.
Launch Uncertainty: With no confirmed debut, we’re betting on a 2026 reveal, giving rivals time to prep EV counters.
