Just a few days ago, Hero Electric has launched the Extended Range variants of its Optima and Nyx e-scooters, called the Optima ER and Nyx ER. Now, further expanding its product line-up, the company has introduced a new electric scooter called the Dash. At a price of Rs.62,000 (ex-showroom, India), the Dash e-scooter will be soon available across all 615 Hero Electric dealerships in India.
At the launching occasion, Mr. Sohinder Gill, CEO, Hero Electric India said, “Hero Electric is determined to deliver the best of electric two-wheeler mobility options to eco-conscious customers who prefer smarter mobility solutions. The all-new Dash is our latest and most lucrative offering that offers style, practicality, performance with a powerful Li-Ion battery that is portable and reliable, and I am certain this will appeal to people of all age groups. As always, we will continue to bring in new and better products and are always listening to customer feedback.”
Powering the new Hero Electric Dash is a 48V 28 Ah Lithium-ion battery that takes 4 hours to get fully charged. On a single charge, the e-scooter will offer a claimed range of 60 kilometres. Keeping in mind the Indian driving conditions, the Dash is made for India with a high ground clearance of 145mm to tackle any road conditions.
In terms of styling, the Dash features a striking design with a commanding front fascia that gives it a string road presence. The dual tone colour options spruces up the looks of the Dash even more. The feature-loaded Dash comes with LED DRLs and headlights, digital instrument cluster, USB mobile charging port, tubeless tyres, dual tone body colour and graphics and a remote access to the boot.
Hero Electric plans to take the 615 touchpoints presently to 1000 by end of 2020 and make the brand accessible even in the most interior parts of the country. The company has aggressive investment plans in the next three years to ramp up production capacity of its electric scooters to 5 lakh units annually.
