Hero Electric, who usually likes playing it safe with conventional designs, has taken the wraps off its AE-3 e-Trike. And if that wasn’t enough, the brand intends to use this EV to tap into Business 2 Business (B2B) transportation. Yeah, we don’t get it either.

Hero Electric claims 100km on a single charge and a top speed of 80kmph. You charge the AE-3's battery pack to full within 5 hours.
