Vida Electric Scooters 2025
The Vida brand of Hero MotoCorp has built its EV portfolio steadily since entering the electric mobility space in 2022. After bringing the premium Vida V1 electric scooter, Vida couldn't just sit back on their laurels and had to expand with the V2. Now using their experience with the V1 to introduce the much cheaper VX2 to complete a three tier model catering to various commuter uses with style, innovation, smart features, and practical budgets.
1. Vida V1: Premium Beginnings (2022)
Hero started their electric journey with a premium electric scooter, the Vida V1, with removable battery packs which powered a 6 kW motor with an added premium level brand experience, available in two different variants:
Highlights:
- Removable battery packs with a forward styling signalling their vision to being able to swap batteries later.
- Performance: Top speed around 80 km/h and a 0-40 km/h run time of around 3.2 seconds.
- Premium ownership experience features: A buyback program, paperless EMIs at lower interest rates, a three day worry free test ride experience, and a customer's actual pick up, drop off, and support in real time.
The V1 represents what Hero is trying to achieve with their electric vehicle ambitions, combining its uniqueness to make participants experience something valuable with a more worthy platform for performance.
2. Vida V2: Smarter & More Affordable
By coming out with its second product, Vida was able to close the price gap with the V2, which is now available in three options:
Pricing:
- Starts at around ₹74,000 (Lite) to ₹1,20,000 (Pro).
- On road pricing will range from ₹78,500 to ₹1.26 lakh depending on some specifications and location.
Battery & Performance:
- V2 Lite: ~2.2 kWh battery; ~94 km range; max speed ~69 km/h.
- V2 Plus: ~3.4 kWh; ~143 km range; max speed ~85 km/h.
- V2 Pro: ~3.9 kWh; ~165 km range; max speed ~90 km/h; 0–40 km/h, ~3 seconds.
Motor & Tech:
- All have 6 kW motors with ~3.9 kW of continuous power and ~25 Nm of torque.
- Same platform with common features: all LED lights, a 7-inch touchscreen, cruise control, keyless ignition, regenerative braking, riding modes (Eco, Ride, Sport but Pro has a configurable custom mode).
Overall, the V2 was an appreciated commuter with respectable, market competitive features at a rational price.
3. Vida VX2: The Affordable Game Changer (2025)
Variants & Pricing:
- Go and Plus are supplied with and without the Battery as a Service (BaaS) model.
- Battery, or the BaaS subscription model: expect to pay approximately ₹70,000 for either variant.
- Price with battery — the "standard" model: ~₹59,490 for the Go model and ₹1.10 lakh for the Plus model.
Performance & Range:
- VX2 Go: ~2.2 kWh battery; ~92 km range; price ~₹59,490 with BaaS (₹99,490 for full purchase).
- VX2 Plus: ~3.4 kWh battery; ~142 km range; total price ~₹65,000 with BaaS; ~₹1.10 lakh otherwise.
Top Speed & Charging:
- Go: up to ~80 km/h.
- Plus: ~80 km/h, larger ~3.4 kWh battery.
- Full charge via home AC power takes ~5.5 hours for Plus.
Features:
- 4.3 in digital cluster.
- Bluetooth and built in navigation, USB port, CBS (Combined Braking System).
- Alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, and three riding modes; Eco, Ride, Sport.
Initial customer reports describe the VX2 Plus as an excellent option for city commuters; comfortable, practical and priced well. The BaaS model reduces cost of entry, making it easier for budget conscious riders to adopt EVs.

Why the Vida Line Stands Out
- Battery Flexibility: Removable packs and BaaS offer convenience and cost savings.
- Range Versatility: Options from quick intra city hops to longer commutes.
- Feature Rich Designs: Even budget trims offer touchscreens, riding modes, regenerative braking, and smart systems.
- Inclusivity: Models span premium to budget-friendly commuters.
- Ownership Perks: Buybacks, flexible EMIs, and long test rides build trust in EV adoption.
Final Thoughts
Vida's evolution from premium to practical is evident—and impressive. The V1 targeted premium EVers, the V2 brought practicality with value, and the VX2 emphasizes affordability without cutting essential EV benefits. If you want range, premium features, or a budget entry point, Vida has you covered. For urban riders seeking reliability, efficiency, and smart EV tech, Vida scooters are a compelling choice in 2025.
