Splendor-Based Relecto Electric Bike
This video comes from LowRider on YouTube. It captures an electric motorcycle which looks strikingly similar to the iconic Hero Splendor. Apparently, the automotive startup wanted to offer their customers something recognizable from the outside with a powertrain of the future. At the front, there is that rectangular headlamp which we have seen for decades on the Splendor. The side profile is also familiar with a fuel tank with body graphics, a single-seat setup, 17-inch alloy wheels, side body panels, a grab handle and a side protection grille. All in all, one could barely make out that this is not the traditional Splendor.

Specs
Even though it might look like a Splendor, its electric powertrain sets it apart from it significantly. It carries a 3 kWh Lithium Ferro Phosphate battery and a BLDC Hub Motor. It allows power output of a decent 2 kW and the battery takes 4.5 hours to charge. This lends it a decent range of around 118 km. Even in real-world conditions, the bike should be able to generate a range of around 80-100 km, which is quite useful. The loading capacity is 180 kg. The electronic setup is housed where the traditional engine would have been. It retails for Rs 1.2 lakh, ex-showroom.
