Expert Reviews

Hero Electric Eddy is the electric scooter and the e-scooters make more sense than petrol scooters and are cheaper to maintain, especially as rising fuel prices hit two-wheeler owners the hardest.
Hero Electric Eddy is a good initiative toward environmental wellness too. The body’s design differs slightly from any other scooter and offers many features. The reverse mode feature is a helpful feature day in daily life; some places have to face such problems while reversing scooters, which is quite handy.
This scooter may work for teenagers as it doesn’t require a license to ride it, but spending INR 72,000/- for what the company claims 80km/charge range in 4-5 hrs of charging isn’t worth the money.
The two colour options are insufficient if Hero Electric wants Hero Eddy in every house to be used as a commuter.
