Hero MotoCorp’s EV division, Vida, is getting ready to launch its most affordable electric scooter yet—the VX2. The official unveil is scheduled for July 1, but teaser images and recent leaks have already given us a pretty good idea of what to expect. Here’s everything we know so far about this upcoming entry-level EV.

Teased
Vida recently dropped a teaser for the VX2, and while it didn’t give away too many specifics, the silhouette and design cues match those of the Vida Z—first showcased in Europe. This confirms one thing: the VX2 is essentially a rebranded Vida Z, tweaked slightly for Indian roads and buyer preferences.
The teaser was followed by showroom leaks, where a production-ready unit of the VX2 was seen parked inside a dealership. It revealed that the design is less aggressive compared to the Vida V2. You’ll notice smoother lines, smaller panels, and a simpler overall silhouette aimed at buyers looking for function over flair.
Budget
The VX2 is expected to be Vida’s most affordable electric scooter, which means several compromises are likely—starting with the battery. Compared to the V2, the VX2 will probably come with a smaller battery pack, translating to a reduced range and possibly slower charging times. Perfect for short city commutes, though.
Don’t expect a fancy feature set either. The VX2 is rumored to skip the keyless ignition in favor of a good old physical key, and the screen will be a smaller TFT unit instead of the larger, more interactive display used in the V2. However, this simplicity could actually appeal to buyers who don’t want to mess with too much tech.
Platform
Despite being toned down, the VX2 is expected to share most of its mechanicals with the V2. This includes the chassis, wheels, and suspension setup. So, while the performance may be more conservative, it should still feel like a well-built, solid scooter on the road.
This shared platform strategy makes sense—it allows Vida to keep costs low while still maintaining decent quality and serviceability across its product range. And since it’s built on a proven base, reliability shouldn’t be a concern.
Rivals
So, where does the VX2 fit in the market? It’s clearly aimed at the budget-conscious urban rider, someone looking for a reliable EV for daily use without splurging on bells and whistles.
The VX2 will compete directly with the entry-level versions of the Bajaj Chetak and the yet-to-be-launched affordable TVS iQube. These scooters all aim to balance price, performance, and practicality for city riders. Vida is hoping that the VX2’s simplified design and Hero’s wide dealership network will give it an edge.
Deliveries are expected to begin almost immediately after the launch, possibly within the first week of July. So if you’re in the market for a budget-friendly electric scooter, the VX2 might be worth the wait.
