Hero Electric Optima Summary

Hero Electric Optima is an electric scooter that is available in two variants – City Speed (HX) and Comfort Speed (LX).

The LX variant is available with two battery options – lead acid (LA) and lithium-ion (LI). Both variants of the LX range boast a top speed of 25kmph. In terms of range, the lead acid version is claimed to deliver a range of 50km per charge while the lithium-ion variant can cover 85km per charge.

The charging time for the lead acid variant is about eight to 10 hours. The lithium-ion version, on the other hand, takes four to five hours to fully recharge. Being a slow speed scooter, the Optima (LX) does not require a registration.

In terms of styling, the LX variant looks similar to the HX version. The sleek design is accompanied by features such as a halogen headlight, apron-mounted front blinkers, and a broad comfortable seat. The colour options include four choices – Red, Grey, Blue, and White.

The hardware on the scooter includes telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers. The anchoring duties are handled by drum brakes at both ends.

      Gaurav Singh

      The buying experience is good they explained much better.
      And riding experience is also good for my daily usage.
      The battery lasts for 2 days for normal household use.
      Looks and performance is enough at this price range.
      Its servicing and maintenance are friendly.
      The pros of this scooter is very light and you can handle it easily.
      The cons of this scooter is top speed is 25km/h.

      The gears shift seamlessly, providing a versatile biking experience. The lightweight frame makes it easy to maneuver, and the comfortable saddle ensures longer rides without discomfort. A fantastic investment for anyone seeking a reliable and enjoyable biking experience. Absolutely thrilled with my new bike! The sleek design, smooth ride, and responsive brakes make every journey enjoyable. It's the perfect companion for both city commuting and scenic rides. Highly recommend.

      Very bad quality hero optima fiber body

      1 year ago


      Debasish Das

      Very bad experience with the hero optima electric bike, within the 1-year crack, come into my bike, and slowly every part of my bike broke. I suggest everyone please never ever buy any electric scooter from the hero. Hero cheats our money takes the full amount and gives us fake bad quality products.
      I want hero to change my bike or refund my money.

      After purchasing this bike I thought this was my big mistake in my life. I'm really fed up. Service is very bad and products are not available like battery etc. I think the Company is not able to sell its product.
