Hop Electric LEO

The Hop Electric LEO is an affordable electric scooter priced between ₹0.84 lakh and ₹1.05 lakh (ex-showroom) in India across its LS, HS and V3 variants. It targets daily commuters who want a capable, low-running-cost scooter with a real battery warranty rather than a bare-bones budget machine.

Range and charging

Hop claims 110 km per charge from a 2 kWh lithium-ion battery. Real-world range depends on speed, mode and rider weight, so treat the claim as a best-case city figure. Charging takes roughly 147 to 195 minutes depending on variant and charge state via the 840 W charger; the listing does not specify fast-charging support.

Performance and driving

A 2.5 kW BLDC hub motor delivers 135 Nm of torque and a claimed 70 km/h top speed, which is genuinely useful beyond inner-city speeds — this scooter can keep up with suburban traffic. A combi brake system (CBS) and regenerative braking are standard, with drum brakes at both ends and 185 mm of ground clearance for rough patches.

Practicality and ownership

The LEO is available in ten colour options including White, Black, Red, Blue, Teal, Silver and Green, with a digital instrument cluster. The battery carries a 3-year or 30,000 km warranty, which is a meaningful ownership safety net at this price point.

Who should buy it

The Hop Electric LEO suits a commuter who wants more than a low-speed basic scooter without jumping to the premium bracket. A 70 km/h top speed, a real battery warranty and sub-₹1.05 lakh pricing make it a sensible default for daily rides. If you need top speeds well past 70 km/h or highway cruising, look at a faster class of scooter.
