Hero Electric AE-8 2025 : Hero MotoCorp has made a significant entry into India’s electric vehicle (EV) space with the launch of the Hero Electric AE-8, a futuristic electric scooter designed to redefine urban commuting. Combining style, performance, and cutting-edge technology, the AE-8 is positioned as a strong competitor in the growing EV market.
Sleek and Modern Design
The Hero Electric AE-8 boasts a contemporary and aerodynamic design that appeals to riders who value both aesthetics and functionality. It features sleek LED headlamps with Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), a muscular stance, and a floating tail section that enhances its sporty appeal. The scooter comes in bold two-tone color options, making it a head-turner on the road. Additional design highlights include trendy alloy wheels and an integrated grab rail, ensuring a perfect blend of style and practicality.
Impressive Range and Performance
One of the highlight of AE-8 is its ability to do 262 km on a single charge, highest ever in the India electric two-wheeler segment. This superior range is made possible by a large capacity 112Ah (37kWh) high voltage lithium-ion battery – and the carefully refined powertrain attached to the efficient motor powering the front wheels.
Ideal for daily commuting or the performance ride–you’re not forced to find a charging station and now have the miles you need for any trip!
