The Hero Electric Flash has been launched in India at an introductory price of Rs 19,990 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Available pan-India, this entry-level offering has been targeted at first-time scooter buyers.
The Hero Electric Flash gets a conspicuous design with a wide headlamp on the apron. The indicators are integrated on the handlebar. The alloy wheels and the glossy paint give the scooter a trendy look. Apart from underseat storage, the Flash also gets a luggage box to improve its utility.
The Flash rides on telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock. Both performance and range have taken a back seat to make the Flash cost effective and light. The 250 watt electric motor can propel the Flash to up to 25kmph. The motor is powered by a 48-volt 20Ah battery, which gives the Flash a range of 65km. The Flash tips the scales at 76kg which should make it easy to use for first-time riders.
The Hero Electric Flash is available in two dual-tone paint schemes – silver/black and red/black. For now, the Flash doesn’t have any competition in the Indian market.
