The Gogo A1 said the Hero Splendor could be safely converted to the electric version and that the converted bike would have a range of 151 kilometers. The price of the kit is INR 35,000 excluding batteries and INR 95,000 including batteries, as per the company.

The Gogo A1's EV kit will include a 2-kilowatt electric motor, a 2.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, a DC-DC converter, a new accelerator wiring, and a key switch with a controller box, and a new wing arm. It is claimed that the electric bike converted using these pieces of equipment will deliver 3.4-kilowatt power.

The kit is only allowed to be used for Hero Splendor, which has been produced since 1997. As the Splendor is the best-selling two-wheeler model in the Indian market, it can be converted to an EV at a low cost, which is expected to further help the customers and concerned stakeholders in the EV movement.
