Trails even within the city envelope the rider and give you a feeling of being cut off from the mundane world. This feeling of solitude amidst nature requires you to get away from civilization. A daunting task for even the shortest duration.
Fears compounded for new mountain bikers by fitness levels which are not top-notch. Being stuck in the middle of a forest, exhausted with not a soul in sight stops many riders in their tracks, even before they start!
Enter the new Hero Lectro EHX20. An XC E-MTB (Cross Country Electric Mountain Bike) built to get you to places which you hadn’t thought of before!
UNITE AND CONQUER
The world is changing. Companies in every field are uniting to conquer the market. The Hero Lectro EHX20 is another brick in the unity wall.
A year or so ago, Hero Cycles tied up with Yamaha Motor and Mitsui to galvanize the Indian market. EHX20 is the first product of this marriage.
Hero will build the cycles, Yamaha will provide the electric motors and Mitsui the distribution and marketing support. The Hero Lectro EHX20 was built in Hero’s Ghaziabad facilities while the motor is imported from Yamaha’s electric drive unit.
THE BIKE
This Lectro is revolutionary for Hero. It is a major step up from the current lineup of the Ludhiana based company.
Let’s first check out the bike without the electric‘kery’ before delving into the meaty details of Yamaha!
This aluminium alloy hardtail has a nice relaxed geometry, which is ideal for new cyclists, even if it isn’t for tight twisty singletracks. Sizing is currently limited to medium, which is great for riders in the 5’5” to 5’9” bracket. Others will hope that Hero comes out with more frame sizes soon!
