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.

I bought a Hero Electric scooter/ Optima 2022 and am using it sparingly. It's a very small vehicle with less comfort. Can be used for city use. Its changing port has broken several times and the body can crack very easily IE is fragile. The rate was cheap after government subsidy. Service for the vehicle is expensive and spares have to come from Punjab. The lady at the service centre tells me that you need to send the damaged part which is under warranty and should take one month to reach Punjab by road and to come back again more than a month then it takes its own time for repair??? She sent my battery charger 2 months ago and am still waiting. It's better not to own this company scooty in Tamil Nadu. Sad I bought Hero Electric scooter Optima.

Terrible Experience with Hero Electric Optima: Battery Failure Nightmare.
1 week ago
Souri Ratnaparkhi
I purchased the Hero Electric Optima a year ago for business purposes, investing a hefty sum of 78000/-. However, just four months before , the battery failed. Despite being under warranty, the company has utterly failed to provide a replacement in a timely manner. It has been over four months of agony, with no resolution in sight.The lackadaisical attitude of Hero Electric towards customer service is appalling. They have continuously delayed the replacement, citing vague excuses and providing no concrete timeline for resolution. Their indifference has brought my business operations to a grinding halt, causing significant financial losses and disrupting my livelihood.I am utterly disappointed and frustrated with Hero Electric's incompetence and lack of regard for their customers. Their failure to honor their warranty agreement and provide timely support reflects poorly on their brand and reliability. I strongly advise potential buyers to reconsider purchasing any product from Hero Electric, as they cannot be trusted to deliver on their promises and provide adequate support when needed.Overall, my experience with Hero Electric Optima has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I regret ever investing my hard-earned money in their product.

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 nice scooter. The electric scooter has earned widespread praise for its eco-friendly design and efficient performance. Users commend its sleek aesthetics, smooth acceleration, and low maintenance costs. With zero emissions and a silent ride, it's an ideal choice for urban commuting. The scooter's user-friendly features, like quick charging and smart connectivity, have garnered positive feedback, making it a popular and sustainable choice among riders.

I have been using this bike since June 2022, Their after-sale service is the worst. Within the ! 8 months the motor got damaged during the warranty period and it took one month to get the replacement. One month back the battery got damaged and took it for replacement, until now they cannot say when I will get the replacement.
