Hero Electric has a growing reputation in India for producing affordable and standard electric two-wheelers. The company has exceeded more than 450,000 units sold in India presently. The Hero Eddy e-scooter is the latest entrant in the market and it comes with some decent features. The Hero Eddy is an e-scooter designed for short commutes and according to the company, it is loaded with several features to guarantee a convenient ride.

The stylishly designed and flamboyant Hero Eddy e-scooter was unveiled on March 1 and has an ex-showroom price of Rs. 72,000 (~$951). The target customer base for the Hero Eddy is those who seek an electric two-wheeler that can cover short distances and require none of the standard registration processes in place for higher-speed EVs.

There are no details about the range of the Hero Eddy currently, the e-scooter will not require either a registration or driving license for the rider because it is classed as a low-speed vehicle. Some of the exciting features that are available in the Hero Eddy are the E-lock, Find My Bike, a decent storage space, Follow Me Headlamps, and reverse mode. Two attractive color variants of the Hero Eddy will be available namely light blue and yellow.
