Vida v2 Plus

Overview

Performance And Motor

The Vida V2 Plus has a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) with a peak output of 6 kW, 3.9 kW of continuous power, and 25 Nm of torque. Both the V2 Plus and V2 Pro use the same motor, so the Plus still offers strong everyday acceleration even though it’s not the top model.

The motor drives the rear wheel with a belt, which makes the ride smooth and quiet. Like most electric scooters, the V2 Plus gives instant torque from a stop. This helps when pulling away at traffic lights, moving through slow traffic, and overtaking in the city.

Vida says the V2 Plus can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 3.4 seconds, which is faster than most regular commuter scooters. While it’s not a high-performance EV, it should feel quick enough for city rides, flyovers, and gentle slopes.

The scooter has a 3.44 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, split into two removable 1.72 kWh batteries. This makes each battery easier to carry and lets owners charge them on the scooter or indoors.

The Vida V2 Plus has a fully automatic transmission, so there’s no clutch or manual gear shifting. You just twist the throttle and the scooter accelerates smoothly. This is especially helpful in Indian traffic, where changing gears on a petrol scooter or bike can be tiring.

The scooter also has a reverse mode, which helps when backing out of a tight parking spot, basement, or busy roadside. With automatic drive, push-button start, and reverse assist, the V2 Plus is easy to handle for both new EV riders and experienced scooter users.

The scooter has three riding modes: Eco, City/Ride, and Sport. Eco mode saves energy, City/Ride is balanced for daily traffic, and Sport mode gives quicker acceleration.

The Vida V2 Plus can reach a top speed of 85 km/h. This is faster than most basic city EVs and lets you keep up on open city roads, flyovers, ring roads, and short highway stretches.

In everyday use, 85 km/h is enough for most city and semi-urban rides in India. The V2 Plus is mainly a commuter scooter and isn’t designed for long highway trips, but the extra speed helps with overtaking and faster sections compared to slower electric scooters.

Charging Time

You can charge the V2 Plus with a portable home charger, and both batteries are removable for indoor charging. This is especially helpful in India, where many people live in apartments or use shared parking and can bring the batteries inside to charge at home or work instead of relying only on public chargers.

Charging from 0 to 80% takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes with the portable home charger. This makes overnight charging easy, but you can also charge the batteries during the day if you bring them indoors.

The scooter also supports DC fast charging. Vida’s charging network is meant to give quicker top-ups at public chargers, but how useful this is depends on whether there are charging stations in your city and along your usual routes.

Range

Vida says the V2 Plus has an IDC-certified range of 143 km per full charge, thanks to its 3.44 kWh removable battery pack. The IDC range is measured under standard test conditions, so it’s an official benchmark rather than a daily-use guarantee. This means the V2 Plus has enough capacity for people who travel moderate distances and don’t want to charge after every short trip.

On real Indian roads, the V2 Plus should give about 100 km of range in everyday use, compared to the 143 km IDC figure. This is a more practical number for planning commutes, but your actual range will depend on things like speed, traffic, road conditions, how much weight you’re carrying, tyre pressure, and which riding mode you use.

If you use Eco mode, ride at moderate speeds, and avoid hard acceleration, you’ll get closer to the best possible range. But if you use Sport mode, ride fast, deal with heavy traffic, climb hills, or carry a passenger, you’ll use more energy and your range will be shorter.

For most city riders in India, about 100 km of real-world range is enough for daily commutes, errands, and short trips. This means you’ll only need to charge every day or two, depending on how much you travel. The V2 Plus is a good option for people who can charge at home or work and want a solid range without moving up to the bigger-battery V2 Pro.

Features And Technology

The Vida V2 Plus is a feature-rich electric scooter for Indian riders who want a practical daily commuter with more technology and flexibility than a basic EV. Its main features include removable dual batteries, a connected touchscreen, three riding modes, reverse assist, keyless operation, and useful storage, all designed for city use in India.

1. Two removable lithium-ion batteries: The V2 Plus uses a 3.44 kWh battery pack, divided into two removable 1.72 kWh modules. This allows owners to charge the batteries on the scooter or take them indoors, which is useful in Indian apartments and shared-parking locations without a fixed charging point.
2. Portable home charging: The scooter can be charged with a portable home charger, so you can use a regular electricity socket. Vida says it takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes to charge from 0 to 80%, making overnight or workplace charging practical.
3. Fast-charging capability: The V2 Plus also supports DC fast charging, so riders can use Vida’s public charging network where available. This adds flexibility for longer daily travel, but how useful it is depends on whether compatible chargers are available in your city or along your usual route.
4. Three riding modes: The scooter has Eco, City/Ride, and Sport modes. Eco mode saves energy, City/Ride is balanced for daily use, and Sport mode gives quicker throttle response for overtaking and faster city roads.
5. 7-inch TFT touchscreen: The V2 Plus has a 7-inch digital touchscreen instrument console. It shows speed, battery status, estimated distance to empty, trip information, clock, and ride-related alerts in a modern, easy-to-read layout.
6. Bluetooth and connected technology: Bluetooth connects the scooter with digital services and the Vida mobile app. Connected features include vehicle location tracking, ride information, and remote-linked utilities, helping owners monitor and interact with the scooter more easily.
7. Navigation support: The touchscreen supports GPS and navigation, so riders can follow routes without relying only on a phone mounted on the handlebar. This is useful for commuters, delivery riders, and people travelling through unfamiliar Indian city areas.
8. Call and SMS alerts: The digital console can show call and message notifications from a paired smartphone. This keeps important notifications visible without needing the rider to hold or keep checking a phone while riding.
9. Keyless ignition: The V2 Plus has keyless ignition, so riders can start and use the scooter without inserting a regular key. This adds convenience and makes frequent stops in city traffic easier to manage.
10. Push-button start and central locking: The scooter has push-button starting and central locking. These features make daily use simpler and show the V2 Plus’s modern, tech-focused design.
11. Reverse assist: A reverse mode helps riders back the scooter out of narrow parking spaces, apartment basements, and crowded roadside gaps. Since the V2 Plus weighs about 124 kg, reverse assist is especially helpful when moving it by hand would take more effort.
12. Cruise control: The V2 Plus has cruise control, so the rider can keep a steady speed on open roads without holding the throttle all the time. It’s most useful on clear stretches and should be used carefully, not in heavy or unpredictable traffic.
13. Regenerative braking: Regenerative braking recovers some energy when slowing down and sends it back to the battery. It can help improve efficiency in stop-start traffic and also gives the scooter a more controlled deceleration feel.
14. Front disc brake and rear drum brake: The scooter has a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. This setup gives the V2 Plus better stopping power than scooters with drum brakes at both ends, while keeping the rear brake simple and affordable.
15. Combined Braking System: The scooter has a combined braking system, which helps spread braking force more evenly when you use the brakes. It’s a practical safety feature for Indian city conditions, where sudden braking is common.
16. Telescopic fork and rear monoshock: The scooter has a telescopic front suspension and a rear monoshock. This setup is meant to give a smooth ride over speed breakers, patched roads, and the uneven surfaces you find in Indian cities.
17. 12-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres: The V2 Plus has 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. Tubeless tyres are easier to fix after a puncture and are less likely to lose air suddenly. The wheel size also helps the scooter feel more stable on rough city roads.
18. LED lighting: The scooter has LED indicators, automatic lighting, and a projector-style LED headlamp. These lights improve visibility and give the V2 Plus a sharper, more premium look.
19. IP68 motor and IP67 battery protection: The motor is rated IP68, and the battery pack is rated IP67 for dust and water resistance. These protections are useful for Indian conditions with rain, dust, and wet roads, but you shouldn’t ride through deep water on purpose.
20. 26-litre under-seat storage: The V2 Plus has about 26 litres of under-seat storage for a helmet and daily essentials. This makes it practical for office commutes, shopping, or carrying rain gear and small bags.
21. USB charging port: A USB port lets riders charge a smartphone or small device while travelling. This is especially handy when using phone navigation or during long workdays away from a power socket.
22. OTA software updates: Over-the-air updates let supported software features be refreshed without a workshop visit. This is useful for a connected electric scooter because interface functions and some digital services can be improved over time.
23. Follow-me-home lighting and pass switch: The scooter has follow-me-home lighting and a pass switch. Follow-me-home lighting briefly lights up the path after parking, while the pass switch helps with signalling during overtakes or on dark roads.
24. Practical rider ergonomics: The V2 Plus has a 777 mm seat height, 155 mm ground clearance, and a 1301 mm wheelbase. These sizes are meant to make the scooter easy to use every day and give enough clearance for speed breakers and uneven city roads.
25. Roadside assistance and battery cover: The scooter comes with roadside assistance and a 3-year or 30,000 km battery warranty. These benefits are important for first-time EV buyers, but you should check the exact warranty and assistance terms with your local Vida dealer before buying.

Build Quality

The Vida V2 Plus is built as a practical, city-focused electric scooter for Indian roads, with a compact body, removable twin batteries, alloy wheels, and standard scooter parts. User feedback on Indian motorcycle platforms often describes the V2’s build as strong and neatly finished, with owners appreciating its premium-looking panels and the practical removable battery system.

The V2 Plus uses two removable batteries with a total capacity of 3.44 kWh. Having two separate batteries makes each one easier to remove and carry indoors. This design is especially helpful for people living in Indian apartments, office commuters, and buyers whose parking areas don’t have a charging socket.

The scooter’s hardware includes a telescopic front fork, rear monoshock, 12-inch alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, a front disc brake, and a rear drum brake. These are familiar, practical parts for Indian use and should be easier to understand and service than a more complex setup. The motor is IP68-rated, and the battery is IP67-rated, giving good protection against dust and water in normal monsoon and wet-road use. However, you shouldn’t ride the scooter through deep water on purpose.

Build impressions are not all the same. One user calls its quality “very nice,” while another independent owner says the overall build is decent but not exceptional. Buyers should check panel alignment, switchgear, charging-port fit, battery latch, and local workshop quality during a dealership visit instead of relying only on online opinions.

Handling

The Vida V2 Plus is well suited to Indian city traffic because its electric drivetrain gives smooth, instant response without a clutch or manual gears. Riders say it has light steering, easy acceleration, responsive power, and is simple to handle in traffic. These qualities are especially helpful on crowded streets, in narrow lanes, and during stop-and-go commuting.

Its 124 kg weight gives the scooter a more stable feel than a very light EV, and the reverse mode makes it easier to back out of a parking spot or turn around in a tight apartment basement. While riding, the V2 Plus’s balance of weight, wheelbase, and 12-inch wheels should make it feel stable on city roads and give you confidence in corners.

The telescopic front fork and rear monoshock are set up to handle common Indian road bumps, like speed breakers, patchy roads, potholes, and uneven lane edges. Owners say the scooter feels stable and comfortable on rough city roads, and one V2 Plus user said it rides smoothly even on hill roads.

Braking comes from a front disc and rear drum setup with combined braking support. This gives predictable stopping power for daily commuting, and users say the brakes work well. As with any electric scooter, riders should test the brakes themselves because a rear drum may feel less strong than dual-disc brakes when carrying a passenger or riding fast.

Comfort

Comfort is one of the best features of the Vida V2 Plus for Indian commuting. It has a 777 mm seat height, upright handlebars, and a flat floorboard, so most riders can sit naturally without putting too much pressure on their wrists or back. The low seat height also makes it easier for shorter riders to handle the scooter at traffic lights and while parking.

Indian owners often say the scooter is smooth, comfortable, and stable on rough city roads. The quiet electric motor adds to the comfort because there’s no engine vibration or gear changes, and the easy throttle response helps reduce fatigue in heavy traffic.

The suspension gives a balanced ride over Indian speed breakers and rough patches. It’s made to absorb normal road bumps without making the scooter feel loose or disconnected, though comfort is better at moderate city speeds than when riding fast over big potholes.

The V2 Plus also has about 26 litres of under-seat storage, giving you space for daily items like rain gear, a small bag, or some helmets. Its seat and rear grab rail make it good for riding with a passenger in the city, but if you often ride long distances with someone else, you should take a two-person test ride to check the seat and rear suspension comfort.

Overall, the Vida V2 Plus offers a relaxed, predictable, and commuter-friendly ride for Indian roads. Its best features are easy control, a comfortable upright posture, good suspension, and simple handling at low speeds. Whether it’s right for you depends on if you prefer its stable 124 kg feel compared to a lighter scooter and if you’re satisfied with your local Vida dealer’s service.

Styling

The Vida V2 Plus has a sharp, youthful design that looks more sporty than a conventional family electric scooter. It carries forward the Vida V1-inspired silhouette, but the V2 range receives a handlebar shroud and refreshed colours that give the scooter a cleaner, more finished look. The bodywork uses crisp lines, a compact stance, and a streamlined profile to create a contemporary appearance suited to Indian city roads.

At the front, the V2 Plus features angular apron extensions, a distinctive LED headlamp, and turn indicators positioned around the handlebar area. This arrangement gives the scooter a wide, slightly aggressive face and helps it stand apart from more rounded electric scooters. The LED daytime running light treatment and projector-style headlamp also contribute to its premium, technology-led visual identity.

From the side, the V2 Plus looks compact but purposeful, with a long seat, flat floorboard, sculpted front panels, and a swooping tail section. The single-sided rear swingarm is a notable styling and engineering detail, as it keeps the rear wheel area visually clean and adds a more premium look than a conventional scooter layout.

The alloy wheels, LED tail-lamp, and neatly integrated battery packaging further improve the overall look. Even with two removable battery modules, the scooter avoids looking bulky and keeps practical proportions for daily Indian commuting. The V2 Plus balances sporty styling with everyday scooter usability instead of being just a showpiece.

Colour Options And Variants

The scooter is offered in five colours in India:

1. Matte Abrax Orange
2. Matte White
3. Matte Cyan
4. Glossy Sports Red
5. Glossy Black

Matte Abrax Orange is the boldest, most energetic option and suits buyers who want the V2 Plus to stand out in urban traffic. The matte finish complements the scooter’s sharp body panels and gives it a youthful, performance-inspired appearance.

Matte White presents a cleaner and more understated side of the design. It highlights the scooter’s surface lines and gives the V2 Plus a sleek, minimal appearance that should appeal to riders looking for a more restrained finish.

Matte Cyan is a distinctive, modern option that matches the tech-focused Vida brand identity. It gives the V2 Plus a fresher and more unusual presence than typical black, white, or red scooters, without being as loud as the orange shade.

Glossy Sports Red strengthens the scooter’s sporty visual theme. The brighter glossy finish emphasises the aggressive LED headlamp, sculpted apron, and rear profile, making it the natural choice for riders who want a more expressive look.

Glossy Black is the most classic and versatile option. It gives the V2 Plus a mature, premium appearance and can be a good choice for buyers who want a colour that blends easily into daily office, family, or professional use.

The Vida V2 family is currently available in two variants:

1. V2 Plus
2. V2 Pro

The V2 Plus is the more accessible version, while the V2 Pro is the higher-spec model with a larger battery, more claimed range, and stronger performance.

The V2 Plus is not offered in multiple trims. Buyers choose the single V2 Plus configuration and then select from the available colour options. It uses two removable 1.72 kWh battery modules for a combined 3.44 kWh capacity, claims 143 km IDC range, and has an 85 km/h claimed top speed.

The V2 Pro sits above the Plus and uses a larger 3.94 kWh battery made from two removable 1.97 kWh modules. It offers a claimed 165 km IDC range and 90 km/h top speed, making it the choice for buyers who value additional range and performance more than the Plus’s lower purchase price.

Some earlier launch reports referred to a V2 Lite alongside the Plus and Pro. More recent listings show the V2 Plus and V2 Pro as the active two-variant range, so buyers should check the latest official information and their local dealership for model availability rather than relying on older reports.

Value For Money And Pricing

The V2 Plus is shown at an effective ex-showroom price of ₹ 1,11,000 in Delhi. This is the most useful starting point for buyers, but the final amount varies by city because the effective price can reflect applicable incentives, while on-road cost includes insurance, registration, local levies, and dealer charges.

For example, the Delhi on-road price is shown as ₹1,16,414 after the subsidy, while other estimates put it at about ₹1.17 lakh. Because of these differences, it’s important to get an official, written dealer quotation before booking.

The V2 Plus offers a strong equipment package for buyers who can purchase it close to Vida’s ₹1.11 lakh effective-price figure. Its principal value points are the 3.44 kWh removable dual-battery system, 143 km IDC range, 85 km/h top speed, 6 kW peak motor output, 7-inch touchscreen, connected features, reverse assist, and navigation.

The removable battery design is a particularly meaningful advantage in India. Riders without a charging point at their parking location can carry the two 1.72 kWh modules indoors to charge, making the V2 Plus more practical for apartment residents, renters, and office commuters than a fixed-battery electric scooter.

It also delivers more than basic commuter performance. The scooter has a claimed 0–40 km/h time of 3.4 seconds, 25 Nm of peak torque, and three ride modes—Eco, City/Ride, and Sport—so it can balance efficiency with the quicker response needed in city traffic.

However, whether the V2 Plus is a good value depends on how you use it. It makes the most sense for riders who travel regular daily distances and can charge at home or work, since they’ll benefit more from lower running costs. Occasional users or buyers without easy charging may find a cheaper EV or petrol scooter more practical, even though the Vida has a bigger battery and more features.

The Vida V2 Plus operates in India’s mid-to-premium electric-scooter category. Its closest alternatives include other leading electric scooters in the segment.

1. TVS iQube 2.2 kWh
2. Bajaj Chetak C3001
3. Ather 450X
4. Ola S1 X
5. Ola S1 Pro

The exact comparison depends on the V2 Plus’s final local price.

The V2 Plus distinguishes itself with two removable batteries and a strong balance of range, performance, and practical hardware. Other models may be more attractive to buyers seeking a lower entry cost or a more aggressive performance-led experience, depending on the chosen variant.

The Vida V2 Plus isn’t just a low-cost EV; it’s a higher-spec commuter scooter with a practical battery setup. It’s best for Indian buyers who need about 70–100 km of daily travel, have reliable access to a home or office socket, and value removable batteries, technology, and stronger performance.
