Hero Lectro H4

The Hero Lectro H4 is an electric cycle (e-cycle) from Hero Lectro, the Hero Group's e-cycle brand, positioned as an affordable, beginner-friendly city commuter that blends a 250W BLDC hub motor with pedal power. Priced from Rs 32,499 to Rs 41,999 (ex-showroom), it is one of the most budget-friendly ways into assisted riding.

Price & Variants

The H4 is sold in two variants — the H4 STD and the H4 +. The H4 + adds an 80mm front suspension and an IP65-rated LCD display over the STD's LED display and rigid steel fork.

Range & Charging

A 7.8 Ah detachable lithium-ion battery powers the 36V/250W motor. Claimed range is up to 40 km on pedal assist (PAS) and about 30 km on throttle, with a full charge taking about 4.5 hours on the STD and 4 hours on the H4 +. It charges from any standard 5-amp wall socket with a 72W charger included.

Performance & Ride

The BLDC hub motor produces 250W with a top speed capped at 25 km/h — regulation-friendly pedal-assist territory. Riding modes (Pedal, Pedelec, Throttle and Cruise on supported models) keep the ride simple, and disc brakes front and rear inspire confidence in traffic.

Features & Practicality

Highlights include an IP65-rated display, LED headlight, key ignition, a single-speed drivetrain with 26-inch spoke wheels and a 2-year battery warranty. The detachable battery makes home charging and security simple.

Who Should Buy It

The Hero Lectro H4 is best for students, senior riders and short-distance city commuters who want exercise-assisted mobility without a licence-grade scooter. It is not built for high speeds, steep hills or heavy pillion duty — buy the H4 + if you ride on rough roads.
