Electric Keeps You Going

As the world is moving towards electric and electrified cars and motorcycles, bicycles have joined the league as well

BEING A CYCLIST MYSELF, I HAVE ridden for some good kilometres and have done trails and the long city rides following a 10-km daily cycling routine. Sometimes while doing the longer runs I feel I should be able to give my legs a break and that's where electric cycles come into the picture. I got the opportunity to ride the Hero Lectro F3i and here is what I think.

The Hero Lectro F3i has a full alloy frame. The downtube packs a 36-volt/6.4-Ah battery which helps achieve a top speed of 25 km/h. The frame gives an overall upright posture which helps a lot when dealing with downhill sections by maintaining an even weight ratio.

 

The front suspension comes with a 100 millimetres of travel which helps reduce uneven off-road impacts while heading downhill over rougher terrain. The very beneficial lockout-feature in the suspension helps in maintaining good and a stable speed during the city rides.
