Overview

Performance And Motor

The Vida V2 Pro uses a 6 kW peak power PMSM motor that produces 25 Nm of torque and a steady output of about 3.9 kW. This motor is more powerful than most regular electric scooters in India, so the V2 Pro performs better, especially for city riding and overtaking.

The motor delivers power instantly, as you’d expect from an electric scooter, but the V2 Pro feels especially quick. It goes from 0 to 40 km/h in 2.9 seconds, which is fast for its class and makes it feel nimble in city traffic and on busy roads.

The V2 Pro comes with a 3.94 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, split into two removable 1.97 kWh units. This setup gives more energy and makes each battery lighter and easier to carry for charging. Both the motor and battery have high IP ratings, so you can feel confident using the scooter during the monsoon or on rough roads.

The Vida V2 Pro has an automatic transmission, like most electric scooters in India. There’s no clutch or gear shifting—just twist the throttle and go. This makes it very easy to ride in heavy traffic, where you often have to start, stop, and move slowly.
The scooter also has a reverse mode, which helps when backing out of tight parking spots or moving in small spaces. With keyless start and push-button ignition, the controls are made to keep things simple and convenient for Indian riders.

The Vida V2 Pro can reach a top speed of 90 km/h, which is higher than most regular electric scooters in India and puts it closer to performance models. This speed is enough for city rides, short highway trips, and faster city roads when traffic is light.

With a 90 km/h top speed, the V2 Pro lets you overtake easily and keep up good speeds on open roads. It’s not a pure high-speed scooter, but it’s made for riders who want more than just basic city performance from their electric scooter.

Charging Time

One of the V2 Pro’s main advantages is its flexible charging. You can charge it at home with AC power or use public DC fast chargers, so it fits different routines and living situations. The two removable batteries can be charged on the scooter or taken out, which is great for people living in apartments without a fixed charging spot.

With the portable home charger, the V2 Pro charges from 0 to 80% in about 5 hours and 55 minutes. A full charge takes a bit longer, but it’s still easy to charge overnight or while you’re at work.

If you need a quick boost, the V2 Pro supports DC fast charging, adding about 1.2 km of range per minute. So, a short stop at a public charger can quickly give you more range, which is handy for longer trips. Having both home and fast charging makes the V2 Pro easy to use in Indian cities.

Range

The Vida V2 Pro has an IDC/ARAI-certified range of 165 km on a full charge. This number comes from standard test cycles and is the official claim. It’s one of the best in its price range, making it a good choice for people with long commutes or those who don’t want to charge every day.

The 165 km range is possible because of the bigger 3.94 kWh battery and efficient motor. For Indian buyers, this certified range is a good benchmark, but real-world results will depend on how you ride, the load, and traffic.

In real Indian conditions, the V2 Pro’s range is usually less than the official figure. You can expect about 90 to 115 km per charge, depending on your riding mode, speed, traffic, and weight. Around 114 km is a typical real-world number, which matches what most EVs get in city traffic.

If you use Eco mode and ride at moderate speeds, you’ll get closer to the higher end of that range, especially on smooth roads and with less weight. Using Sport mode, riding fast, or carrying a heavy passenger will lower the range, which is normal for electric scooters in India.

For most people in Indian cities, even the lower end of the real-world range is enough for daily commutes and errands, as long as you can charge at home or work. The V2 Pro’s strong certified and real-world range makes it a practical choice for those who want to travel longer distances without worrying about running out of charge.

Features And Technology

The Vida V2 Pro is designed for Indian riders who want more than just basic electric mobility. It combines a high-capacity dual-battery setup, a powerful PMSM motor, and a tech-heavy feature list to create a premium electric scooter that feels modern, connected, and practical for daily use. From its large TFT touchscreen and smartphone app to its multiple riding modes, flexible charging options, and strong safety features, the V2 Pro is built to offer a more engaging and convenient ownership experience in Indian city conditions.

  1. Dual removable lithium-ion batteries: The V2 Pro uses a 3.94 kWh battery pack made of two removable 1.97 kWh units. This dual-battery layout not only increases energy capacity but also makes each battery lighter and easier to carry for home or office charging, which is especially useful for Indian apartment dwellers.
  2. Flexible charging options: The scooter supports home AC charging via a portable charger and public DC fast charging. Home charging from 0–80% takes around 5 hours 55 minutes, while DC fast charging adds roughly 1.2 km of range per minute, giving owners multiple convenient ways to top up depending on their routine
  3. 7-inch TFT touchscreen display: The V2 Pro gets a 7-inch TFT colour touchscreen that serves as the main interface for speed, battery, range, navigation, and connected features. This is one of the scooter’s most premium visual and functional elements, making it feel more like a high-end connected device than a conventional scooter.
  4. Vida mobile app connectivity: The scooter connects to the Vida smartphone app, which enables features like ride statistics, navigation, vehicle location, and remote functions. The display also supports call and message alerts, which help riders stay connected without handling their phone while riding.
  5. Four riding modes: The V2 Pro offers Eco, Ride, Sport, and Custom riding modes. Eco prioritises range, Ride offers a balanced setup, Sport unlocks the full performance of the motor, and Custom allows riders to tailor parameters like throttle response and regen to their preference. This flexibility is rare in this price band and adds a more premium, customizable feel.
  6. Keyless entry and push-button start: The scooter comes with keyless ignition and push-button start, which simplifies daily use and adds a modern convenience factor. For Indian riders who frequently stop and start in traffic, this small feature makes a noticeable difference in day-to-day usability.
  7. Reverse assist: The V2 Pro includes a reverse mode that helps riders back out of tight parking spots or maneuver in confined spaces. This is particularly useful in crowded Indian cities where parking areas can be narrow and congested.
  8. Cruise control: The V2 Pro features cruise control, allowing the rider to maintain a constant speed on open roads without holding the throttle continuously, reducing fatigue on longer commutes.
  9. Regenerative braking: The scooter uses regenerative braking to recover energy during deceleration and braking, which helps extend real-world range. This system also contributes to a smoother braking feel, which is helpful in stop-and-go Indian traffic.
  10. Digital instrument console with advanced alerts: Beyond the large TFT screen, the console includes indicators for low battery, pass switch, clock, and other ride information. The screen can also display call/SMS alerts, reinforcing its connected, tech-forward positioning.
  11. Under-seat storage: The V2 Pro offers 26 litres of under-seat storage, which is enough for a full-face helmet and some everyday items. For Indian riders who use the scooter for office commutes, market runs, or delivery-style use, this practical space is a significant advantage.
  12. LED lighting and projector headlamp: The scooter features LED headlamps, tail lamps, and indicators, with a projector-style headlamp for better nighttime visibility. This improves safety and gives the V2 Pro a more premium visual identity compared to basic LED setups.
  13. Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres: The V2 Pro rides on 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, which are standard for modern scooters but still important for Indian buyers. Tubeless tyres reduce the risk of sudden deflation and make puncture repairs easier, which matters on rough urban roads.
  14. Front disc and rear drum brakes with EBS: The braking setup includes a front disc brake and rear drum brake, supported by EBS (Electronic Braking System). This combination provides adequate stopping power for the scooter’s performance level while keeping costs and complexity in check for the Indian market.
  15. Telescopic front fork and rear monoshock: The suspension consists of a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock absorber, which together offer a comfortable and controlled ride over typical Indian road surfaces. This setup helps the V2 Pro feel stable over speed breakers, potholes, and uneven patches.
  16. IP68-rated motor and IP67-rated battery: The motor carries an IP68 waterproofing rating, and the battery is rated IP67, which means both are well protected against dust and water ingress. For Indian monsoons, flooded streets, and dusty conditions, this level of protection adds important peace of mind.
  17. Belt drive transmission: The V2 Pro uses a belt drive to transfer power from the motor to the rear wheel. Belt drives are generally quieter and require less maintenance than chains, which suits the low-maintenance, urban-commuter image of the scooter.
  18. Gradeability of 18 degrees: The scooter is rated for 18-degree gradeability, which indicates it can handle reasonably steep inclines without struggling. This is relevant for Indian cities with flyovers, hilly sectors, and inclined roads where weaker scooters might feel strained.
  19. Roadside assistance and warranty: The V2 Pro comes with roadside assistance and a 3-year or 30,000 km battery warranty (with some extended warranties available for certain components). This support structure is important for Indian buyers who want confidence in long-term EV ownership.
  20. Premium, tech-focused identity: Beyond individual features, the V2 Pro is positioned as a high-tech, premium electric scooter for India. Its large touchscreen, connected app, multiple riding modes, and strong specification list make it feel more like a lifestyle product than a basic commuter, which is exactly how Vida wants it perceived in the Indian market.

Build Quality

The Vida V2 Pro is designed as a premium electric scooter for Indian road conditions, with a robust structure and practical hardware aimed at regular urban use. Vida highlights its focus on smooth, comfortable riding, and the V2 platform is described as a well-built scooter with a modern finish and a solid road-going character.

Its build is supported by a 3.94 kWh dual removable-battery setup, a telescopic front fork, rear monoshock, alloy wheels, and disc-brake hardware. The removable batteries are particularly practical for Indian homes and apartments because they can be taken out and charged separately instead of requiring the scooter to remain parked beside a fixed charging point.

The scooter also uses an IP68-rated motor and an IP67-rated battery, giving the electrical components protection against dust and water ingress. This is useful in India, where the V2 Pro may need to deal with monsoon rain, dusty roads, puddles, and changing urban conditions. However, the ratings should not be interpreted as permission to deliberately ride through deep floodwater.

The V2 Pro’s overall construction combines practical scooter proportions with a more premium finish. Its compact body, integrated lighting, large display, and carefully packaged battery system give it a more substantial feel than a basic electric commuter scooter. The V2 features a robust frame designed for varied road conditions, although Vida has not fully specified the exact material and panel-construction details.

Handling

Handling is one of the Vida V2 Pro’s stronger qualities for Indian city riding. Vida describes the scooter as offering best-in-class handling, smooth control, and natural cornering, and it is generally praised for its easy handling, stability, and suitability for congested roads.

The scooter’s electric drivetrain contributes to predictable low-speed control because power is delivered smoothly without clutch operation or gear changes. That makes it easier to move through narrow streets, traffic gaps, and stop-start conditions, where frequent throttle adjustments are required. Its reverse mode also helps when backing out of tight parking spaces or repositioning the scooter in crowded areas.

The telescopic front fork and rear monoshock are important to the V2 Pro’s handling balance. They help the scooter remain composed over speed breakers, broken patches, and uneven surfaces that are common on Indian roads. The Vida V2 suspension is plush without becoming vague, with a balanced chassis that remains confident over surprise road hazards.

The V2 Pro also benefits from a relatively capable braking and tyre package. Its front disc brake, rear drum brake, electronic braking support, alloy wheels, and tubeless tyres give the scooter predictable stopping and cornering behaviour for urban use. Regenerative braking can also help control speed smoothly while recovering some energy during deceleration.

The scooter’s 18-degree gradeability further supports its Indian usability, particularly in areas with flyovers, ramps, sloping roads, and moderate inclines. It is not intended to be an off-road vehicle, but the chassis and drivetrain are designed to handle the everyday variety of city roads more confidently than a very basic electric scooter.

Comfort

Comfort is a central part of the V2 Pro’s appeal. Vida specifically promotes the scooter as offering a smooth, comfortable ride, and it is praised for its comfortable seat, easy control, and refined ride experience for regular commuting.

The riding position is upright and practical, making it suitable for daily travel through Indian traffic. An upright posture places less pressure on the wrists and allows the rider to maintain a clear view around cars, buses, and two-wheelers. This is useful during long periods of low-speed riding and repeated stops in crowded city conditions.

The seat is wide and well cushioned, giving the rider a relaxed seating position. The spacious floorboard also allows riders to adjust their feet and carry small everyday items, while the under-seat storage adds practicality for commuting, shopping, or office use. The V2 Pro offers approximately 26 litres of storage.

Pillion comfort is generally supported by a broad seat area and passenger grab rails. However, the split-seat arrangement can make the pillion’s upright seating position less comfortable than the rider’s, particularly on longer journeys. This means the V2 Pro is best considered a comfortable daily scooter for one rider, with reasonable pillion usability rather than a dedicated long-distance two-person tourer.

The suspension contributes significantly to overall comfort on Indian roads. The front fork and rear monoshock help reduce the sharpness of potholes, expansion joints, and speed breakers, while the scooter’s balanced chassis prevents excessive movement after hitting uneven surfaces. The VIDA setup is comfortable in chaotic city conditions and well suited to Indian speed breakers and changing road quality.

Overall, the Vida V2 Pro offers a balanced comfort package for Indian commuting. Its relaxed ergonomics, cushioned seat, useful floorboard, removable-battery practicality, and controlled suspension make it suitable for everyday city use, although riders should check the pillion seat and suspension feel personally during a test ride before buying.

Styling

The Vida V2 Pro has a sharp and contemporary design that gives it a more premium appearance than a basic commuter electric scooter. Its styling follows the modern design language of the Vida V2 family, with a clean front apron, angular body panels, a compact profile, and a distinctive lighting arrangement. The V2 is an evolution of the earlier Vida V1 design, retaining its sharp proportions while adding refreshed colours and a more polished visual identity.
The front section features a prominent LED headlamp with an angular appearance, while the turn indicators are positioned high on the handlebar area. This arrangement gives the V2 Pro a wider and more aggressive visual stance when viewed from the front. The scooter also uses LED lighting elements at the rear, helping it look modern while improving visibility in Indian urban traffic.

The side profile is defined by sharp tank-like extensions on the front apron, a sculpted body, and a clean rear section. These elements help the V2 Pro look more dynamic than a conventional family scooter, while the flat floorboard and practical proportions retain its everyday usability. The single-sided swingarm visible at the rear is another distinctive design feature that gives the scooter a more sophisticated and premium appearance.

The V2 Pro’s design is also shaped by its removable dual-battery layout. Instead of making the scooter look bulky, Vida integrates the battery system into the floorboard and central body structure, allowing the scooter to retain a relatively neat silhouette. This gives it a balanced appearance from the side and helps maintain the visual proportions expected from a modern Indian electric scooter.

The overall styling is sporty without becoming excessively aggressive. It is suitable for younger riders who want a more fashionable electric scooter, but it also remains practical enough for family and daily commuting use. The combination of sharp bodywork, LED lighting, alloy wheels, and premium-looking finishes allows the V2 Pro to occupy a more stylish position in the Indian electric-scooter market.

Colour Options And Variants

The Vida V2 Pro is available in six colour options in India

  1. Matte Abrax Orange
  2. Matte White
  3. Matte Cyan
  4. Nexus Blue Grey
  5. Glossy Sports Red
  6. Glossy Black

Vida lists these six shades, and in some areas uses slightly different names for the blue option, including Nexus Blue Grey. These appear to refer to the same colour family, although buyers should confirm the exact shade name with a Vida dealer before booking.

Matte Abrax Orange gives the V2 Pro a bright, youthful, and energetic appearance. It is one of the more eye-catching options and suits buyers who want their scooter to stand out in city traffic.

Matte White provides a clean and understated look. It highlights the scooter’s sharp body lines and gives the V2 Pro a more minimal, sophisticated appearance.
Matte Cyan adds a fresh and modern character to the scooter. The shade fits the Vida brand’s technology-focused identity and gives the V2 Pro a distinctive appearance without being overly loud.

Nexus Blue Grey offers a darker, more premium alternative. It gives the scooter a mature and stylish look, particularly when combined with the black trim and dark mechanical components.

Glossy Sports Red is the most performance-oriented colour in the range. Its bright finish emphasises the V2 Pro’s sporty bodywork and is likely to appeal to buyers who want a more expressive scooter.

Glossy Black gives the scooter a classic and versatile appearance. It makes the design look more discreet and mature, while the glossy finish adds a premium touch to the body panels.

The six-colour range gives Indian buyers enough variety without changing the scooter’s core design. The brighter orange, cyan, and red options create a youthful appearance, while white, black, and blue-grey offer more restrained alternatives. Colour availability can differ by dealership or city, so the final choice may depend on local stock.

For the current Indian lineup, the Vida V2 is offered in two variants:

  1. V2 Plus
  2. V2 Pro

The V2 Pro is the range-topping version, while the V2 Plus is positioned below it with a smaller battery and lower performance specifications.

The V2 Pro shares its basic bodywork, chassis design, dimensions, and 7-inch TFT touchscreen with the V2 Plus. This means the two versions look broadly similar from the outside, and the main differences are related to battery capacity, claimed range, performance, charging time, and selected equipment.

The V2 Pro uses the larger 3.94 kWh battery pack, made up of two removable 1.97 kWh units. It also offers the higher claimed IDC range of 165 km, a 90 km/h top speed, quicker acceleration, and four riding modes, including the Custom mode. These differences make the Pro the more performance-focused and feature-rich version of the V2 family.

The V2 Plus uses a smaller battery and has a lower claimed range and top speed than the Pro. However, it retains the same general styling and scooter architecture, so buyers who prefer the V2 design but do not need the Pro’s maximum range or performance can consider the lower variant.

For buyers specifically considering the V2 Pro, the single Pro version keeps the decision relatively simple. There are no multiple Pro trims with different equipment levels; buyers mainly choose the V2 Pro and then select the colour available at their preferred Indian dealership. This gives the model a clear identity as the top-spec Vida V2 scooter.

Value For Money And Pricing

The Vida V2 Pro has an ex-showroom price of ₹ 1,20,000 in Delhi. The final amount can vary across Indian cities because of state subsidies, registration charges, insurance, local taxes, and dealer-level offers, so buyers should confirm the final on-road quotation from a Vida dealership.

Because of these differences, the quotation from a Vida dealership should be treated as the most reliable reference for a particular city. The ex-showroom price is only one part of the purchase cost; the final on-road price may include registration, insurance, accessories, and any applicable regional charges.

The Vida V2 Pro offers strong value for Indian buyers who want a high-spec electric scooter with a larger battery and premium technology. Its key value elements include a 3.94 kWh dual removable-battery pack, a claimed 165 km IDC range, a 90 km/h top speed, a 7-inch touchscreen, multiple riding modes, and support for portable and fast charging.

The two removable batteries make the scooter more practical for Indian households where fixed charging infrastructure is unavailable. Owners can remove the batteries and charge them indoors, which is particularly useful for apartment residents, office commuters, and buyers who park away from an electrical socket.

The V2 Pro’s value is also strengthened by its technology package. Features such as navigation, app connectivity, cruise control, reverse assist, regenerative braking, and Custom riding mode give it a more premium character than a basic electric commuter scooter. The V2 Pro is generally considered a balanced option for buyers who want range, convenience, and connected features in one package.
However, value for money depends on how the scooter is used. The V2 Pro makes the most financial sense for riders who commute regularly and can charge at home or work, because frequent use allows the low running cost of an electric scooter to offset the initial purchase price. Buyers who ride only occasionally may take longer to recover the price difference compared with a simpler petrol scooter or lower-priced EV.

The scooter’s claimed 165 km IDC range also adds value, but buyers should not treat the IDC figure as a guaranteed daily distance. Actual range depends on riding mode, speed, traffic, rider weight, weather, and road conditions. The larger battery provides useful range headroom, but the financial decision should be based on expected real-world usage rather than only the official test-cycle figure.

The Vida V2 Pro competes with several electric scooters available in India, particularly models that combine practical range, connected technology, and family-friendly usability. Competitor models in India are

  1. TVS iQube
  2. Bajaj Chetak
  3. Honda Activa e
  4. Ola S1 Pro
  5. Ather Rizta
  6. Ola S1 X

The Vida V2 Pro’s strongest competitive advantage in India is its combination of a large battery, removable battery convenience, premium connected features, and a practical scooter design. It is not necessarily the cheapest model in the market, but it offers a broader package than a basic commuter EV and gives buyers more flexibility than scooters with fixed batteries.

Its main challenge is the wide variation in listed prices across Indian cities. Depending on the final quotation, the V2 Pro may be compared with lower-priced models such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, or Ola S1 X, as well as more premium alternatives such as the Ola S1 Pro. The final value therefore depends heavily on local subsidy, dealer pricing, charging access, and the buyer’s daily distance.

Overall, the V2 Pro is best suited to Indian buyers who want a feature-rich electric scooter with a long claimed range and the convenience of removable batteries. Its strongest case is not simply its price, but the combination of battery flexibility, technology, performance, and Hero-backed positioning in the Indian market.

Verdict

The Vida V2 Pro is a well-rounded premium electric scooter for Indian riders who want a combination of performance, range, technology, and everyday practicality. Its 3.94 kWh removable battery pack, 165 km claimed IDC range, 90 km/h top speed, quick acceleration, multiple riding modes, large TFT display, and flexible charging options make it more capable than a basic city-focused EV. Its comfortable suspension, useful storage, reverse assist, connected features, and practical riding position further improve its appeal for daily commuting.

However, the V2 Pro is not without limitations. Its real-world range will be lower than the certified figure, home charging is relatively slow, the scooter is heavier than some rivals, and the benefits of fast charging depend on charger availability in the rider’s city. The removable batteries also require physical effort to carry, while service quality and software reliability should be checked locally. Overall, the Vida V2 Pro is best suited to Indian buyers who have regular commuting needs, access to home or workplace charging, and a preference for a feature-rich electric scooter rather than the lowest-cost option.

Pros

  • Long claimed range: The Vida V2 Pro offers an official IDC range of 165 km, supported by its 3.94 kWh battery pack. This gives Indian commuters useful range headroom for office travel, daily errands, and longer urban routes.
  • Removable dual-battery setup: Its battery pack consists of two removable units, making charging more convenient for Indian users who live in apartments or park away from a fixed power socket. The batteries can be carried indoors and charged separately, reducing dependence on public charging points.
  • Strong performance for daily Indian riding: The V2 Pro produces up to 6 kW of peak power and reaches a claimed top speed of 90 km/h. Its performance is sufficient for regular commuting, flyovers, open city roads, and short highway sections.
  • Quick acceleration: The scooter can accelerate from 0–40 km/h in about 2.9 seconds, giving it responsive pickup in traffic. This is useful for moving away from signals, joining busy roads, and making short overtakes in Indian urban conditions.
  • Multiple riding modes: Eco, Ride, Sport, and Custom modes allow riders to choose between efficiency and stronger performance. The Custom mode is especially useful for owners who want to adjust the riding response to their preferences.
  • Useful everyday technology: The V2 Pro includes a 7-inch TFT touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, navigation, call and message alerts, keyless operation, and ride information. This gives it a more premium and connected experience than a basic commuter electric scooter.
  • Fast-charging support: In addition to portable home charging, the scooter supports DC fast charging. Vida states that fast charging can add approximately 1.2 km of range per minute, which is helpful when an Indian rider needs a quick top-up during a longer journey.
  • Comfortable family-oriented ride: The Vida V2 is considered to have a comfortable seat and well-controlled suspension over rough roads. This makes the V2 Pro suitable for daily commuting and occasional pillion use, rather than only solo performance riding.
  • Practical storage: The V2 Pro offers around 26 litres of under-seat storage, giving Indian users space for a helmet and everyday items. This improves its usefulness for office travel, shopping, and routine household trips.
  • Reverse mode and cruise control: Reverse assist makes tight parking easier, while cruise control can reduce rider fatigue on longer, open stretches. These features add convenience beyond basic electric mobility.
  • Good weather protection for Indian conditions: The motor is rated IP68 and the battery IP67, providing protection against dust and water ingress. These ratings are useful during Indian monsoons and on wet or dusty roads, although they do not make the scooter suitable for deliberately crossing deep floodwater.

Cons

  • Charging at home is relatively slow: The portable charger takes about 5 hours 55 minutes to charge from 0–80%. This is manageable overnight, but it is slower than a quick fuel stop and may inconvenience riders who frequently cover long distances every day.
  • Public fast-charging access may be limited: The V2 Pro supports DC fast charging, but the usefulness of this feature depends on the availability of compatible charging stations in the rider’s city or travel route. Indian buyers in smaller towns may still rely mainly on home charging.
  • Higher weight than some rivals: BikeWale comparison data lists the Vida V2 at around 124 kg, making it heavier than the Ola S1 Pro in the cited comparison. This may be noticeable when manually pushing the scooter, moving it on an incline, or handling it in a narrow parking area
  • Performance is below the sportiest rivals: The V2 Pro’s 6 kW motor and 90 km/h top speed are adequate for Indian commuting, but rivals such as the Ola S1 Pro may offer higher power and greater top-speed potential. Enthusiasts seeking aggressive acceleration may find the Vida’s delivery more balanced than exciting.
  • Pillion comfort may not be ideal for long rides: Although the scooter is generally comfortable for daily use, users suggest that the split-seat arrangement and upright pillion position may not be perfect for extended two-person journeys. A test ride with a passenger is advisable before purchase.
  • Service and software concerns require attention: User and ownership discussions mention issues such as software glitches, limp-mode complaints, service delays, and after-sales concerns. These reports are not universal, but they indicate that the buying experience may depend heavily on the quality of the Vida dealership and service centre in a particular Indian city.
  • Feature complexity may not suit every rider: The touchscreen, app connectivity, riding modes, navigation, and OTA-related functions make the scooter technologically advanced, but they also introduce more software dependence than a simple electric scooter. Riders who prefer straightforward controls may find the system more complicated than necessary.
  • Battery handling requires physical effort: Removable batteries are a major advantage, but two large battery units still need to be lifted and carried individually. This may be inconvenient for some users, particularly when charging on an upper floor or transporting the batteries over a long distance.
  • Storage can be affected by the battery layout: Although the V2 Pro provides useful under-seat storage, its removable-battery architecture takes up considerable internal space. Buyers should physically check whether their preferred helmet and daily luggage fit comfortably before finalising the purchase.

About Vida Electric Scooters

VIDA is Hero MotoCorp’s electric-mobility brand in India. It launched in 2022 with the premium V1 electric scooter and has since grown into a wider EV platform that includes family scooters, commuter products, future concepts, and planned electric motorcycles. By FY2026, VIDA’s market share in India’s electric two-wheeler segment rose from about 6% to 11%, making it one of the fastest-growing EV brands from an established manufacturer.

Hero MotoCorp created VIDA to lead its move into electric mobility. Instead of adding EVs to its regular petrol-powered lineup, Hero set up VIDA as a separate brand focused on electric vehicles, digital services, charging access, and new ownership options.

The word “Vida” means “life” in Spanish, showing the brand’s focus on lifestyle and technology. The first product, the VIDA V1, came out in 2022, followed by the V1 Pro and V1 Plus. The lineup later grew to include the VIDA V2 and VX2 scooters, helping the brand reach premium, family, and budget-conscious commuter buyers.

History And Growth

Hero MotoCorp introduced VIDA as its EV brand in March 2022 and launched its first electric scooter later that year. This move marked the company’s direct entry into India’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler market.

The first V1 was a premium electric scooter made at Hero MotoCorp’s green plant in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. Deliveries started in a few cities and then expanded to more locations over time.

VIDA grew slowly at first compared to newer EV brands, but picked up speed as Hero added more models, expanded its network, and offered easier ways to buy and own batteries. By FY2026, VIDA had sold over 151,000 electric two-wheelers, nearly tripling its sales from the previous year.

The VX2 became a key product for VIDA, helping the brand move beyond just premium scooters. VIDA also introduced battery-as-a-service (BaaS) to lower upfront costs for some customers, making electric scooters easier to afford.

Key Milestones And Developments

VIDA has grown by expanding its product range, increasing its retail presence, and moving from a single premium scooter to a lineup that covers several EV segments.

VIDA first launched in India with the V1 series, which featured a removable battery and smart features. Later, the V2 and VX2 models were added to attract more family and commuter buyers.

In July 2026, Hero MotoCorp updated VIDA’s brand identity. The company said VIDA had grown from a single EV product to a full mobility platform, including scooters, the DIRT.E off-road electric motorcycles, and the NOVUS future-mobility concepts.

Manufacturing Facilities

VIDA scooters are made at Hero MotoCorp’s Chittoor plant in Andhra Pradesh, known as the company’s green factory. This plant in the Tirupati region has a modular design, so Hero MotoCorp can increase EV production as needed.

At first, the plant had one EV production line, while the rest of the site made petrol-powered two-wheelers. The Chittoor plant is key for VIDA, as it lets Hero MotoCorp build, design, and scale its EVs in India.

In July 2026, Hero MotoCorp said the Tirupati plant would manage all of its VIDA electric vehicles, with design, engineering, and manufacturing done locally. The company plans to reach an annual capacity of 1.2 to 1.5 million units as part of its Andhra Pradesh expansion. This is a future goal, not a current production level.

VIDA also benefits from Hero MotoCorp’s large manufacturing network. The company runs six factories in India and two abroad, in Colombia and Bangladesh, while most electric production is now focused in Andhra Pradesh.

Market Position And Achievements

VIDA is now an important part of India’s electric two-wheeler market, which is very competitive and includes brands like TVS, Bajaj, Ather, Ola Electric, and others.

By August 2026, VIDA had sold a total of 300,458 units. It took about 33 months to sell the first 100,000, but the next 100,000 sold in just over seven months, showing much faster growth recently.

In 2026 so far, VIDA had about 11% of India’s electric two-wheeler market, ranking behind TVS, Bajaj, and Ather, but ahead of many newer brands. VIDA’s retail network had grown to over 900 locations in 415 cities, with support from more than 700 dealers.

VIDA’s main achievement is how quickly it moved from offering just one premium scooter to becoming a more accessible EV brand. Thanks to Hero MotoCorp’s size, a bigger dealer network, and more affordable products, VIDA can now better compete for mainstream customers.

Future Plans

VIDA plans to expand its product range, boost production, reach more international markets, and develop electric motorcycles.

Hero MotoCorp has confirmed its first electric motorcycle will launch in 2027. Two new platforms are being developed: UBEX, for a street-naked bike, and VXZ, a high-performance adventure platform made with Zero Motorcycles. These are different from VIDA’s current scooter designs.

Hero MotoCorp also plans to raise monthly VIDA scooter production from about 15,000 units at the end of FY2026 to around 45,000 units in FY2027. The company has announced over ₹1,500 crore in planned investment for expanding scooter and EV capacity in FY2027.

Future focus Planned direction
Scooter portfolio Continue expanding V2 and VX2-led offerings across customer segments.
Electric motorcycles First production electric motorcycle targeted for 2027.
UBEX platform Dedicated street-naked electric motorcycle architecture.
VXZ platform Higher-performance, adventure-oriented electric motorcycle platform developed with Zero Motorcycles.
Production scale Planned increase to about 45,000 VIDA units per month during FY2027.
International strategy VIDA-led expansion into Europe and the UK was announced as part of Hero MotoCorp’s global EV plans.
Manufacturing ecosystem Greater EV manufacturing, parts, logistics, and local engineering activity in Andhra Pradesh.

  

VIDA represents Hero MotoCorp’s plan to build a lasting electric-mobility business, not just sell electric scooters. Since 2022, VIDA has expanded from the V1 to a broader lineup with the V2 and VX2 scooters, and has announced future products like DIRT.E and NOVUS.

VIDA’s future success will rely on keeping up product momentum, offering strong customer support, expanding charging and retail networks, and scaling up production. If Hero MotoCorp follows through on its plans for local manufacturing, EV motorcycles, and international growth, VIDA could become one of India’s leading full-range electric two-wheeler brands.
