Hero Ultra is all set to launch three high-powered scooters in the coming year. This announcement followed the signing of a joint venture of Hero Cycles and Ultra Motor Co. Ltd. This joint venture will come into effect from January 2008. The three e-scooters will be designed to produce maximum power and will be capable of producing top speeds of upto 100 km/h. Velociti and Optima are the two electric scooters that have been launched as a landmark for this occasion. They are priced at Rs.34, 000 and Rs.29,000, respectively. There are plans in the pipeline to open around 150 outlets in the country by the end of this fiscal year. Hero Ultra will also tie-up with Reliance stores to showcase its products in Reliance Retail supermarkets.
Hero Ultra Velociti
Velociti is a powerful electric scooter that has been launched by Hero Ultra. It is available in two colors - silver and burgundy. It has been engineered on the “impulse inertia technology”, which enables it to perform at a higher speed of 40 km/h and also manage a better torque. Velociti has a powerful 500 watts motor, which gives a maximum output of 1000 watts. Under test conditions, it was found that the scooter gave a range of 50 kilometers per charge. The features of this scooter include powerful 48V/ 24 AH Sealed Lead Acid battery, hydraulic disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear wheel, and telescopic suspension system. Priced at Rs 34,000, this bike is quite a steal!
Hero Ultra Optima
The already existing range of electric scooters of Hero Ultra gets a new and a sleeker addition - the Optima. This new scooter has been launched with better looks, sleek design and good technology. This has been done in order to keep up with the Best Electric Two Wheeler of India, Maxi, which was their highest selling model. Optima does not fail to impress as it delivers a decent range of 70 km per charge and a maximum speed of 25km per hour. It is priced at a reasonable Rs. 29,000; all the more reason why you should take it home!
