Hero NYX electric scooter review

 A bike designed for delivery boys. The Hero Electric Nyx HX is around Rs 15,000 less than the Nyx HX dual-battery variant that’s meant for private use.Depending on the variant, the B2B-specific Nyx HX offers a range from 82km to 210km per charge.









On a bid to capitalise on the fast-growing business-to-business logistics industry, Hero Electric has launched an electric scooter with by far the highest claimed range in the Indian electric two-wheeler segment. The newly-launched Hero Electric Nyx HX offers a claimed range of 82km to a whopping 210km per charge, depending on the variant. The price starts from Rs 64,640 for the base variant and Rs 74,990 for the Nyx HX Pro version. These are ex-showroom, and are inclusive of the FAME II subsidy.

Powering the electric scooter is a 600-watt motor linked to three 51.2V/ 30Ah lithium ion battery packs. They have been installed in such a way that they don’t interfere with the dedicated cargo area. The charging time takes about 4-5 hours, which is pretty reasonable for a battery pack with such a generous range. The limited top speed of just 42kmph would have also helped in achieving such a high range. To enhance the scooter’s practicality, Hero Electric also offers four levels of smartphone connectivity solutions ranging from simple bluetooth interface to the top-of-the-line remote surveillance, diagnostic solutions and the likes. 








NYX hx electric scooter features 

Firstly, the scooter looks rugged in terms of design and the scooter body is 70% made with fibre plastic and 30% is made with metal, which is the chassis and battery compartment. It is available in 2 colours silver and black. The scooter height is medium and the seat is comfortable enough to accompany the rider and Pillion.


The footboard is wide and comfortable to sit in while riding. This electric scooter is mainly designed for delivery purposes like Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon and Flipkart delivery agents. The footboard space is very wide, it is more than the Hero Flash electric scooter footboard space.


Also, there is a bottle holder and a USB port for mobile charging. A small hanger to keep bags and mini boot space as well. We need to mainly discuss hx rear seat because it can be adjustable and used for multiple purposes. In case of luggage, you can lift the seat and keep a bag there or else you need to pull it back to use as a pillion seat. This option is useful for people who carry loads at the front side, there are telescopic suspension dual shock absorbers at the rear.


Also, there are both centre stand and side stand present in this scooter. But we found difficulty while using the centre stand, we suggest you use its side stand. Coming to the scooter instrument cluster and you can see speed, battery percentage and odometer in it. The dashboard is small but you can see enough details in it.

Now coming to scooter lighting, at the front, there is an oval shape Led headlight, and the indicators come with halogen lights. On the rear side also there is a halogen light.

Now coming to the scooter technical specifications, the Nyx hx can run with a top speed of 45 km/h. It works with a 600-watt bldc hub motor, the peak power is 1200 watts and it is protected with ip65 water and dust proof. The battery capacity is 51.2 v 30ah two batteries 3 kWh lithium-ion. Its maximum range is 120 km and its charging time is 4 hours. The power consumption will be 3 units for a full charge. Its loading capacity is 150 kg

The lithium-ion battery is non-removable and under the seat, there is enough boot space to keep a charger. The interesting fact is that it has separate battery packs and two separate charging points, at a time you can charge two battery packs. Also, the power distribution of the battery is one after another pack.
