Engine

A 550W BLDC hub motor with a peak power of 1.2kW powers the Optima CX. It is powered by a 52.2V, 30Ah lithium Ferro phosphate battery pack that takes about 4-5 hours to charge entirely.

The e-top scooter’s speed is reported to be 45kmph. The standard CX is reported to have an 82-kilometre range, while the CX ER is said to have a 140-kilometre range.

Transmission


Range

The Hero Electric Optima has a 250watt battery that generates approximately 0.33bhp and an automated transmission. On a single charge, the Hero Electric Optima offers a range of 60 kilometers.


Battery

The battery options for the CX model are lead-acid (LA) and lithium-ion (LI). The top speed of the CX series is 25kmph in both variants. The lead-acid variant has a range of 50km per charge, while the lithium-ion variant has a range of 85km per charge.

Charge time for a lead-acid battery is eight to 10 hours. The lithium-ion version, on the other hand, requires four to five hours to fully recharge. Because it is a slow-speed scooter, the Optima (CX) does not require registration.


Exterior

The Optima is designed to look like an electric scooter. The scooter weighs 86kg and has a ground clearance of 140mm.


Design

The Hero Electric Optima CX resembles the HX model it replaces. The streamlined design is complemented by a halogen headlamp, apron-mounted front blinkers, and a wide, comfortable seat.


Handling

The Optima has 16*3 tires on both the front and rear axles. The scooter is built on a reinforced high-strength steel chassis, with suspension handled by telescopic forks on both ends.


Suspension & Brakes

The 2022 Optima CX is equipped with a telescopic fork up front and dual shock absorbers in the rear. Drum brakes are used to secure both ends.

Review

Conclusion

The Hero Electric Optima could be your first step in helping the environment by emitting fewer emissions. The Optima’s battery has a range of 70 kilometres on a full charge, and its 72 kg kerb weight makes it comfortable to handle in the city.

It’s a fine scooter for going to the market, but it can’t be used for a daily commute unless your office is in the market.
