That's why Hero MotoCorp is coming up with a new electric scooter. Also shared was the teaser of the first electric scooter to come out in August 2021 as part of the brand’s 10th anniversary celebrations.

Finished in dual-tone white and black color option, this model is not far behind in production. It has been confirmed that the new Hero electric scooter will hit the Indian roads by March 2022. Hero MotoCorp CFO Niranjan Gupta made this clear to an online media publication.

Similar to Chetak, the model has a single sided swingarm. One of the great features of the upcoming electric scooter is the very clean design with curvy style, flyscreen and long split seat. It could be a local hero product. The company has already confirmed that Hero will be working with Gogo on a number of new products, including battery technology.

Hero had earlier announced a gogoro electric scooter partnership with Taiwan-based Gogoi to develop and charge the network in India. Hero will use Gogo's battery swapping platform for their upcoming electric models.

The Taiwanese brand currently has 2,000 battery swapping stations.  The company has also made more than 174 million battery transfers so far.  It is also noteworthy that Hero MotoCorp is one of the leading investors in Ether Energy, a Bengaluru-based EV start-up.

Official details of the upcoming Hero electric scooter have not yet been revealed, but it is rumoured that the new vehicle will be based on the Gogoro Viva sold in Taiwan. Gogoro Viva is available in two variants, Keyless and Basic.

The model uses a 3kWh electric motor and offers a range of 85 km on full charge. But the range is likely to increase when the hero is renamed and arrives in India. The Gogoro Viva electric scooter comes with a single touch start system powered by an IQ system smart keycard.
