Hero has just released its newest affordable two-wheeler, the Eddy. It was developed specifically to address the growing demand for lightweight, affordable personal mobility, and looks to be a viable alternative to gas-powered scooters for use in the urban setting. Employing a minimalistic, no-frills approach, the Eddy retails for just Rs 72,000, translating to around $950 USD.
Given the Eddy’s barebones approach, the scooter is surprisingly feature-rich, which will surely come to the delight of India’s tech-savvy populace. The Eddy brings premium features such as Find My Bike, E-Lock, Follow-Me Headlamps to the table. Other features include a large storage compartment and even reverse mode for added convenience in parking. Hero Electric has yet to reveal the specifics of the powertrain, as well as the claimed range on a single charge.
