Hero Electric is one of the OGs of the Indian E-scooter market. Earlier, just like Ola Electric, Hero Electric used to be at the top of the monthly E-scooter selling list, but as the government FAME 2 policies got strict, their scooters got way costlier and as predicted, their EV sales dropped steeply, and right now they are facing a hard time. But one of their star Electric scooters, ‘Hero Electric NYX’, still ranks on the charts.
In this article, we’ll explore the Hero NYX E-scooter and explain everything you need to know before buying it.
