Electric Bike 2026: The Hero Splendor, considered the “heartbeat” of Indian roads, is now ready to power the roads in a new and powerful avatar. If you have an old petrol Splendor and are worried about rising petrol prices, the Hero Splendor Electric Conversion Kit could prove to be a successful and perfect choice for you in 2026.
Starting at just ₹35,000, this kit transforms your old bike into a formidable electric warrior, with a range and speed that rivals any new electric bike. This conversion kit not only gives your old vehicle a new lease of life but also marks a strong and precise step towards a clean energy future.
Conversion Kit
The most robust and successful kits for converting the Hero Splendor to electric power are offered by proven companies like GoGoA1. The starting price of this kit is approximately ₹35,000 (excluding battery), with GST payable separately. This kit includes a powerful 2000W hub motor, a regenerative controller, a throttle, and a precise wiring harness.
If you add a robust 72V 40Ah lithium-ion battery and charger, the total cost comes to around ₹95,000 to ₹100,000. This investment is much more effective than buying a new electric bike, as it provides the same robust performance as your old, reliable bike.
151KM Range and Speed
In terms of performance, the electric Splendor is second to none in any new EV. On a single full charge, it reliably delivers a consistent range of 120 to 151 kilometers, perfect for city commutes. Its top speed of 75-80 km/h makes it a formidable warrior on the highway as well.
Charging the battery at home using a standard power outlet is extremely easy and accurate, taking 4-5 hours. Furthermore, it features robust technology like regenerative braking, which instantly recharges the battery by 5-20% when braking, further improving mileage.
Strong RTO regulations
As exciting as converting an old bike to electric is, the RTO regulations are equally strict. According to the Government of India and the Transport Department, only kits certified by ARAI and the RTO are valid. After the conversion, you’ll need to take your bike to the local RTO for inspection, after which it’s mandatory and accurate to have ‘Electric’ written on your RC (Registration Certificate). You’ll need to replace the old white petrol plate with a strong green number plate. Keep in mind that only models manufactured after 1997 are eligible for this conversion. Following these regulations ensures a legally successful and safe ride.
