The Hero Lectro WINN electric cycle is a purpose-built solution for urban cargo and personal mobility, launched in 2021 by Hero Lectro. Its foundation is a resilient Alloy 6061 cargo-specific frame, engineered for stability and load-bearing, supporting a maximum payload of 150 kg. Propulsion is managed by a 250W BLDC (Brushless DC) rear hub motor, delivering efficient power for a top speed of 25 km/h. This motor integrates a Hall sensor for precise control and is complemented by a cadence sensor in the drivetrain, offering three distinct pedal-assist levels alongside a dedicated throttle for flexible riding modes.
Energy storage is facilitated by a robust 36V 14.5Ah (522Wh) Lithium-ion battery, externally mounted at the rear for easy access and security, being both removable and lockable. This power unit boasts a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) with active cell balancing, ensuring optimal performance, longevity with an estimated 500+ charge cycles, and comprehensive protection against over/under-voltage, over-current, short circuits, over-temperature, and deep discharge. The entire electrical system, including the battery, benefits from an IP67 waterproof rating and BIS certification, affirming its reliability and safety in diverse environmental conditions. A full charge is achieved in 7-8 hours via a 230V AC proprietary charger, yielding an impressive 75 km range in pedal-assist mode.
For stopping power, the WINN employs a dual disc braking system, providing consistent and reliable deceleration, further enhanced by a motor cut-off safety feature upon brake engagement. The rigid suspension design, combined with 24-inch wheels fitted with 2.0-inch tube tires and double-wall alloy rims, ensures a stable and durable ride suitable for urban terrains. Rider convenience is addressed with an adjustable seat, an integrated rear carrier, and a kickstand. The LED display provides essential information such as speed and battery State of Charge (SoC), with backlight functionality for clear visibility and intuitive ride mode switching. Thermal management for both the motor and battery is passively air-cooled, designed to operate efficiently within a temperature range of 0°C to 45°C, making the Hero Lectro WINN a comprehensive, reliable, and technically advanced choice for sustainable urban transportation.
