India’s largest online marketplace has partnered with Hero Electric, market leader in the Indian Electric Two-wheeler Industry, to sell the new range of electric bikes on its site such as the Optima Plus, Zion, Wave Dx, Maxi and Cruz. These are smart, eco-friendly and pocket friendly electric bikes. Moreover the customers do not even require a driver’s license or registration to own and use these E-bikes.
These bikes can be charged at home or the office using the regular plug points. The battery charging time ranges between 6-8 hours. Apart from being environment friendly, these bikes come with low maintenance cost and mileage upto 70 kms/charge (approx cost Rs 5-7 per charge) making them a cost efficient option as compared to the conventional fuel powered two wheeler options.
Speaking about this tie up, Tony Navin, VP-Business Development at Snapdeal.com said, “We were the first ones to venture into e-selling of vehicles in the industry. Now by introducing the new range of Hero Electric Bikes, we want our customers to have options which are not only pocket friendly but also eco-friendly.”
On this partnership, Sohinder Gill, CEO-Global Business, HERO ECO said “Consumers will be able to buy Hero Electric Bikes online easily with the same experience as would have been while visiting the nearest Hero Electric showroom. He further added “Hero Electric and Snapdeal are dynamic brands and believe in providing value for money proposition products. This association will create synergies amid customer segments especially the youth and will further gain consumer choices, loyalty with brand uniqueness and distinctiveness”.
