Hero Lectro F6i 27.5 7S - Text Review

At its core, the Hero Lectro F6i features a lightweight 6061 alloy frame built for strength and agility. The design integrates the lithium-ion battery neatly into the downtube, maintaining a clean, premium aesthetic that doesn’t scream “electric.” The compact 27.5-inch wheel setup strikes an excellent middle ground between nimble handling and ride stability.

The geometry feels sporty yet comfortable upright enough for city traffic, but with a forward lean that encourages efficient pedaling. The internal cable routing and smooth welds enhance both durability and style, while the matte finish gives it a refined, tech-inspired look.

The F6i runs on a 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain paired with EF500 trigger shifters for smooth gear changes. This setup, combined with the 250W BLDC rear hub motor, delivers a hybrid experience allowing effortless transitions between pedal-assist and pure manual riding.

The Smart Pedal Assist System (PAS) offers three levels of assistance: low, medium, and high adapting power output based on rider effort. The 36V / 11.6Ah lithium-ion battery provides up to 60 km of range in pedal-assist mode and around 30 km in throttle mode, making it ideal for daily commutes or extended leisure rides.

Comfort on the Hero Lectro F6i is thoughtfully engineered. The semi-upright geometry, combined with wide 27.5×2.1” tyres, absorbs surface imperfections well while maintaining responsiveness. The suspension front fork further enhances ride comfort, especially over uneven city roads or light trails.

The ergonomic grips and soft-padded saddle reduce fatigue during longer rides, while the battery’s mid-located weight keeps balance centered ensuring stability even at higher speeds.

The Hero Lectro F6i comes equipped with mechanical disc brakes on both front and rear wheels ensuring strong, consistent braking power across all weather conditions. Compared to rim brakes, these discs provide quicker stopping distances and better control, especially important given the added speed from motor assistance.

Steering is sharp but predictable, with the alloy handlebar and rigid stem setup offering precise directional input. Whether navigating tight turns or open stretches, the F6i feels planted and easy to maneuver.

The 27.5-inch double-wall alloy rims offer an ideal balance of acceleration and grip. Paired with 2.1-inch hybrid tyres, the wheels maintain good traction on tarmac and light off-road tracks alike. The robust rims handle daily commuting stress well, while the quick-release hubs make maintenance easy.

The Hero performance saddle provides a comfortable perch firm enough for pedaling efficiency yet cushioned for extended rides. Combined with the front suspension and wide tyres, it enhances overall comfort for longer commutes.
