Hero Electric AE-47 Streetfighter India Launch Delayed Again

Hero Electric AE-47 Streetfighter India Launch Delayed Again: The Hero Electric AE-47 street bike was officially showcased back at the Auto Expo in February 2020. The bike was expected to launch in the Indian markets by the end of last year and then by the mid of this year but as per the latest details available, the launch has been postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The brand has officially announced that they have no plans to launch the electric motorcycle in India this year. "We're certainly going to launch products in the premium category. The AE-47 and other premium products are ready, but the launch is likely to be delayed. With the current market scenario with the COVID-19 second wave, as well as our focus on low-cost electric two-wheelers, the launch of our premium range will be pushed to a later date, perhaps sometime in 2022," Munjal told NDTV.
