Above the front wheel, a giant LED light roughly in the shape of an inverted triangle is the most striking feature of the scooter.

Just above the headlamp, the red-and-white logo of Hero Electric set on a black inverted triangle looks eye-catching.

Between the handles, the visor gets fitted with two LED lights with built-in side indicators.

Below the left handle, the scooter gets the word ‘ELECTRIC’ printed to convey the scooter type.

A lightweight body with a body balance design.

The chassis of the electric scooter, made with high-grade fibre plastic and the build, is light, sleek, and designed to get suitable for first-time electric scooter users; true to its tagline ‘Meri Pehli electric.’

The floor panel area provides enough leg space for a person of average build to sit and ride comfortably. A plastic compartment gets fitted in front of the driver seat that can hold small things.

The charging point, located down the front seat and the battery, kept inside the boot, also has adequate space to fit a half-helmet and small things such as a small bag, purse, charger, and more.

The battery can get detached from the scooter and taken inside the home and office for an energy refill.

The dashboard is attractive and displays all the vital stats such as speed, battery percentage, and odometer.

Buttons for headlamps, indicators, and horns are fitted just beside both the handles. Two rearview mirrors enable the rider to have a look at the vehicles behind.
