The Nyx HX variant gets fed by a 51.2V / 30Ah double battery, which takes five hours to get charged fully and can travel 165 km distance in a full charge.

Nyx LX gets propelled by a 51.2V / 30Ah battery. It takes five hours to get fully charged and can travel 85 km distance in a full charge.

The curb weight is 87 kg to 106 kg, depending on the number of batteries stored and the height of the scooter is 1140 mm, 1770 mm long, and 690 mm wide.

Hero Electric Nyx neither has the futuristic looks of Flash and Atria nor the classic exteriors of Photon.

It just looks like a standard scooter, which is the epitome of comfort, reliability, economy, and low maintenance, nothing flashy.

The Nyx has a headlamp that is rectangular but with curved edges.

Unlike Atria and Flash, and like Photon and Optima, it comes equipped with a separate mudguard above which the red-and-white logo of Hero Electric gets riveted between the nose. To its right and left, a pair of indicator lights get set.

The 10-inch chrome-finished front alloy wheel gets fitted with a pair of telescopic forks and a drum brake.

The chassis of the electric scooter gets made with reinforced high-strength steel. The floor panel area gives adequate leg space, and the footrest extends near the rear wheel providing ample space for pillion riders to place their legs comfortably.

The front side is fitted with an in-dash bottle holder, a USB port, and a small space to keep little things.

The attractive dashboard shows all the critical numbers such as speed, battery percentage, and odometer. Apart from both the handles, buttons for headlamps, indicators, and horns are fitted. Two rearview mirrors enable the rider to have a look at the vehicles behind.

Down the front seat, a charging point gets located. The battery can get stored inside the boot gives enough space to fit a half-helmet and small things such as a small bag, purse, charger, and more.

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

The scooter has a ground clearance of 141 mm. It is higher than Hero Electric Photon but much lower than Flash and Atria. At rest, it gets ably supported by its side and centre stand.
