The Hero Dash electric scooter will be available immediately in all company dealerships across the country. The company currently has around 615 touchpoints in the Indian market, which they are planning to expand to over 1000 by the end of 2020. This will include touchpoints even in the most interior part of the country.

Apart from the dealer expansion plans, Hero Electric is also looking at increasing production capacity at its plant to 5 lakh units annually, with aggressive investment options

Alongside the launch of the Dash electric scooter, Hero Electric also showcased its ‘ER' range of vehicles. This included the recently launched Optima ER and the Nyx ER electric scooters in the market.

The Hero Electric Optima ER and Nyx ER are part of the brand's high-speed premium range of product offerings in the Indian market. Both electric scooters were launched together last week, with the Optima ER priced at Rs 68,721 and the Nyx ER with a price tag of Rs 69,754. Both prices are ex-showroom (India).

The ‘ER range' in the Hero Electric product lineup, consisting of the Optima ER and the Nyx ER will rival the likes of premium electric scooters in the Indian EV segment. This includes the upcoming Benling Aura and the Ather 450 premium electric scooters. The Benling Aura has been confirmed to launch in India sometime in the month of September — here are the details.

The newly introduced Hero Dash electric scooter, on the other hand, will rival the other more affordable models in the segment; such as the Avan Trend E and the Okinawa Praise.

All three scooters, including the all-new Dash, are powered by lithium-ion batteries; making them eligible for the government's FAME II incentives. The three electric scooters are also priced competitively, due to the recent cut in GST rates on electric vehicles to 5 per cent in India.
