New Delhi: Hero Electric on Monday launched two new e-scooters Optima ER and Nyx ER (extended range) priced at Rs 68,721 and Rs 69,754 (ex-showroom India), respectively.
The new heavy-duty and high-speed e-scooters are now available across all Hero Electric dealerships, the company said in a statement.
"One feedback that we have constantly received was the range anxiety associated with e-scooters, and with the Nyx ER and Optima ER we are addressing that issue and offering a package that is high on performance and usability," Hero Electric India CEO Sohinder Gill said.
He further said the FAME-II benefits have also made the company's e-scooter range more affordable.
