Unveiling the Hero Surge S32: Your Ultimate 2-in-1 Electric Scooter and Rickshaw Experience!
Surge, a startup owned by Hero MotoCorp, has unveiled its first S32. This is a modular vehicle that combines an electric scooter with a 3W electric 3W vehicle to transport cargo, ferry passengers, and assist self-employed individuals. This is the first time a manufacturer in India has pursued such an idea, demonstrating Hero's relentless commitment to innovation.
Hero Surge S32: What is it? Ever seen Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight and desired to own a larger car that spits out a 2W for convenience? Well, that concept has become a reality now. Except that it does not appeal to millionaire vigilantes. However, it caters to real-world self-employed warriors who want to possess a fully modular vehicle.

Thus, they will receive an electric scooter or an electric 3W rickshaw in the same package. This allows a self-employed individual to get two vehicles for the price of one. Surge describes it as a "class-shifting vehicle". Where users/buyers can improve their earning prospects and lifestyle.
The premise of Surge S32 is that users/buyers can switch classes while owning a single car. After their daily efforts and trials, owners/buyers can now transform into more comfortable and presentable folks by riding the electric scooter. Surge states that disassembling the scooter from the 3W configuration should take 3 minutes.
