      Hero Splendor Electric In The Works – Launch Likely In 2027

      by

      Hero Splendor Electric Motorcycle Render – For reference only
      With electric 2W segment growing, Hero MotoCorp is prepping to expand its electric portfolio to include a mass-market offering. From the past couple of years, Hero has been reportedly working on a Splendor Electric which is likely to launch in 2027. Specs and details about this upcoming motorcycle are still unknown.
      Hero Splendor Electric In The Works
      A recent report has spilled the beans suggesting that Hero MotoCorp is expanding its portfolio to incorporate electric motorcycles. Currently, the company offers Vida electric scooters. The report mentioned that the company is working on half a dozen new vehicles, set to launch over the next two to three years.
      One of these vehicles will be Splendor Electric, which is internally codenamed AEDA. Citing their sources, this report mentions Splendor Electric to be Hero’s most significant and ambitious project. This vehicle is slated to break covers in 2027 and is currently being developed at Hero’s technology centre in Jaipur.
      Apart from Splendor Electric, Hero is working to launch Lynx electric dirt bike in 2026. Primarily aimed at developed international markets, Lynx electric dirt bikes might have a production volume of around 10,000 units per annum. Alongside Lynx, we can also see the launch of Acro learner electric dirt bike for kids, which was recently patented in India.

      Hero Vida Acro Concept Left, Lynx Concept Right
      Two Premium Electric Bikes
      The report mentions Project ADZA, which is under development and will spawn two premium electric motorcycles. Performance-wise, these electric motorcycles will be equivalent to 150cc and 250cc ICE motorcycles. These motorcycles will cater to young riders seeking style and performance.
      Sticking to Hero Splendor Electric, the company seems to be eying for big volumes as it is targeted at budget commuter space and daily business users. An estimated volume of 2.5 lakh units per annum from electric motorcycles (2 lakh units from Splendor Electric and 50,000 units from ADZA Project) seems to be the goal by 2027-2028.

      2025 Aprilia And Vespa Scooters Spied In Ooty- New Features Expected

      by

      2025 Aprilia and Vespa ScootersPiaggio Group seems to be overhauling its scooter portfolio in India. Test mules of Aprilia and Vespa scooters have been spied near Ooty, Tamil Nadu. We can expect these scooters to launch soon, making a greater impact in the premium end of 125cc and larger displacement category.
      2025 Aprilia And Vespa Scooters Spied
      Thanks to automotive enthusiast Ram Prasath, we now have spy shots of upcoming Aprilia and Vespa scooters. From these spy shots, there don’t seem to be any design changes, especially with Aprilia SR test mule. It could be both SR 125 or SR 160, as they look exactly the same from behind.
      2025 Aprilia SR
      We can still see the same pillion grabrail that split a lot of opinions when it was announced. Rear LED tail lights are carried over too, with the rather stylish X-shaped insignia. Rear turn indicators are still halogen units and rear suspension looks the same single-sided mono-shock unit.
      However, the main change expected with 2025 Aprilia SR scooter is a new TFT screen, as per the source. This TFT screen is also likely to be large in size, when compared to the usual 4-inch to 5-inch TFT instrument panels we see with scooters.
      New TFT instrument cluster?
      This new TFT cluster will replace the large orange-backlit fully digital LCD unit that first debuted with Aprilia SXR maxi-styled scooter. It shows a multitude of information including speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, time, mileage, average mileage, distance to empty, trip computer readings and total odometer.
      2025 Vespa Scooter
      With the new TFT cluster, we can expect 2025 Aprilia SR scooters (at least the SR 160) to get Bluetooth connectivity and navigation support. The Vespa test mule doesn’t get this new TFT cluster as per the source and continues with the same analogue cluster it used to get. This 2025 Vespa scooter might be a ZX or VXL that gets a slightly re-designed pillion grab rail.
      Powertrains-wise, we can expect the same 125cc engines (with Vespa and Aprilia), 150cc engine (with Vespa) and 160cc engine (with Aprilia) as before. Performance metrics are likely to remain the same as well. Launch might happen too, considering these test mules were not donning any camouflage. More
