Hero Electric Cruz

Hero Electric Cruz is a promising offering from the company’s stable. It is a blend of style, comfort, economy and convenience that buyers demand. Weighing just 69Kg and carrying modern style cues, this electric ride from Hero is desirable from the word go. Though not much in terms of performance and top speed as compared to others in the segment but certainly due to its longevity and comfort. It features a large foot board, a well-cushioned seat for the rider as well as the pillion and a lot of storage space that not only make it convenient for city commutes but comfortable to the core. The lightweight of Cruz works in favour of ladies in managing it on traffic-ridden roads and through the narrow and congested lanes. The lithium-ion battery pack fitted in this scooter is maintenance-free and charges quickly just like a mobile phone. You get an added advantage of owning it without a Regional Transport Office (RTO) registration too. Plus, the rider does not need a valid driving license to cruise on this lovely Hero Electric Cruz. To offer confidence to the rider, it comes with drum brakes at the front and rear. Overall, the scooter is worth a praise except the fact that it looks a tad pricey as compared to the features, top speed and performance numbers of its competition.

The design of the scooter is quite simple, with no fuss and cluttering. Up front, it has an ovoid-shaped headlamp, turn blinkers and sharp cuts over the apron that look great. The large foot board gets enough space to place legs comfortably. The seat is wide, long and comes with the adequate amount of cushioning. The CRUZ insignia on the side panel looks fascinating. At the end, there is a modish tail section, appearance of which uplifts with the presence of rear grab rail. Further enhancing the appeal of the scooter are its 10-inch wheels. Underneath the seat, it gets a storage compartment of 20-25 litres which is useful to carry your daily essentials. The instrument cluster gets analogue odometer and speedometer. In addition, it gets a clock, a low battery indicator and an anti-theft alarm that helps you keep thieves at bay.

On the safety front, there are drum brakes on either end for optimum braking, a high luminous headlamp for clear and bright vision even when the weather conditions are atrocious and a feature called anti-theft alarm system that would help you feel safe and secure at the same time.

The scooter is powered by a maintenance-free lithium-ion battery of 48V 20Ah which can be charged in about 5 hours to the full capacity through a standard USB mobile charger. The scooter comes with the ability to ride 70Km on one full charge while attaining a top speed of 25Kmph. Charging the scooter is super-easy that is by plugging it into a wall socket just like you do your mobile phone.

The brand has bestowed the Electric Cruz with drum brakes at both ends that not only provide adequate stopping power but give the rider confidence to manoeuvre it through traffic streets with aplomb.  On the suspension front, it gets spring-loaded shocks that help in normalizing the road undulations, making the ride smooth and enjoyable for the rider and the pillion.
