The e-cycles are being launched under the brand name Lectro.

The placement of the battery in these cycles is also unique but do not compromise on the ease of access requirement. The battery is placed in the down tube (right below the crossbar) and has a lock.

The price, though not officially announced, is expected to be around 40,000.

Hero has also tied up with a German company and unveiled electric bike for the global market under the brand name HNF Global.

Since electric bikes are a rage this year, Hero is hoping that its products will appeal to people at large. The government has mandated all two-wheelers to be electric by 2025.
