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 Photon’, still ranks in the charts.
