Hero Electric AE-3 Highlights

The Hero Electric AE-3 electric trike has been unveiled at Auto Expo 2020. It’s a first of its kind for Hero Electric. The trike features a gyroscope-enabled auto-balance park feature which lets the scooter stay upright when stationary. Other notable features include a fully digital instrument cluster, mobile charger, walk assist, reverse assist (which is claimed to be up to 26kmph), app connectivity with real-time tracking and geo-fencing.

Hero Electric says the AE-3 electric trike comes with a 5.5kW electric motor and a 4kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The scooter uses a belt drive with a large pulley. The e-trike comes with a claimed range of 100km and a top speed of 80kmph. It takes five hours to charge the battery pack completely.

The AE-3 e-trike gets two telescopic forks up front and a disc brake on each front wheel. At the rear, it gets a petal disc and twin gas-charged shock absorbers. As far as the competition is concerned, there are none as it is the only scooter of its class in the country.
