The Hero Lectro C4E represents a meticulously designed electric cycle tailored for the demands of urban and personal mobility. Its foundation is an Alloy 6061 frame, sized at 420mm (16.5 inches) with a city commute step-through geometry, ensuring rider accessibility and structural integrity. Powering the C4E is a 250W BLDC (Brushless DC) hub motor strategically positioned in the rear, delivering peak power safely below 250W, compliant with Indian regulations. This motor is paired with a non-removable, in-tube 36V, 5.8Ah (208Wh) Lithium-ion battery, which features an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) for over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection, ensuring robust electrical safety and an estimated cycle life of 500+ charges. The drivetrain employs a simple yet effective 1-speed chain drive, augmented by a cadence sensor and 3 levels of pedal assist, alongside a throttle for on-demand acceleration up to 25 km/h. Braking is handled by reliable mechanical disc brakes on both front and rear wheels, featuring a crucial motor cut-off function for immediate power disengagement upon braking. The cycle rides on 700C wheels fitted with 35mm tube-type tires on double-wall alloy rims, providing a stable and efficient rolling platform. The user interface is an intuitive LED display with backlight, indicating speed and State of Charge (SOC), allowing for easy ride mode switching. All electrical components, including the battery enclosure, are rated IP65 for dust and water resistance, reinforcing durability in varied environmental conditions.
