Hero Electric, who usually likes playing
it safe with conventional designs, has taken the wraps off its AE-3 e-Trike.
And if that wasn’t enough, the brand intends to use this EV to tap into
Business 2 Business (B2B) transportation. Yeah, we don’t get it either.
Nonetheless, the AE-3 powers itself using
a 250W electric motor and a 3kWh lithium-ion battery pack which employs a belt
drive with a large pulley to transfer power to the rear wheel. Hero Electric
claims 100km on a single charge and a top speed of 80 km/h. You charge the
AE-3's battery pack to full within 5 hours.
It comes packed with features too! This
includes a fully digital instrument cluster, walk assist, reverse assist up to
26 km/h, app connectivity with real-time tracking and geo-fencing. You could
also use the scooters mobile charger to juice up your smartphone, in case it
runs out.
Now, if you have issues balancing two
wheels, this ought to be the perfect scooter for you. The electric AE-3 e-trike
can balance itself while standing still using its gyroscope-enabled
auto-balance park switch. Furthermore, it features a sophisticated twin
telescopic fork with a pair of disc brakes that anchor each wheel. The rear, on
the other hand, comes with a twin gas-charged shock absorber setup and a petal
disc.
