The upcoming Vida VX2 electric scooter has been spotted undisguised at a dealership, just ahead of its official launch in India on 1 July, 2025. The VX2 is the production version of the Vida Z concept that was first showcased at EICMA last year. It brings with it a fresh and accessible approach to electric commuting in India.
Design
The Vida VX2 shares its design with the Vida Z and stays true to the styling cues of the concept version. The model seen at the dealership is finished in a vibrant matte yellow shade, which adds to its youthful and urban appeal. The bodywork is sleek, with modern elements that include flush-fitting panels and aerodynamic touches.
Positioned as an entry-level electric scooter, the VX2 sits below the Vida V2 in Hero’s growing EV lineup. Despite its budget-friendly positioning, it carries a modern and premium look.
Variants
Hero is expected to offer the VX2 in multiple variants, each distinguished by battery size and possibly by features. The scooter will be built on a modular architecture that allows it to accommodate battery packs ranging from 2.2 kWh to 4.4 kWh. This modular setup offers flexibility for different usage needs, from short city commutes to longer urban rides.
Battery and Motor
The VX2 will be powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), known for efficiency and consistent torque delivery. While exact power output hasn’t been revealed yet, the PMSM setup ensures smoother acceleration and better range performance.
The scooter will also feature removable battery packs, allowing users to easily swap or charge them at home. This is a practical advantage for those without access to fixed charging infrastructure.
Features
Even though Hero has kept some of the finer details under wraps, the Vida VX2 is expected to come with a good list of modern features. These include:
- Removable lithium-ion battery packs
- Touchscreen TFT display
- Full LED lighting setup
- Smartphone connectivity
- Advanced telematics and ride data
This feature-rich setup should help the VX2 stand strong against rivals in the value-focused electric scooter segment.
Competition
The Vida VX2 will primarily take on the more affordable variants of the Bajaj Chetak Electric and TVS iQube. Both of these competitors already have a foothold in the market, but Hero is betting big on modularity, affordability, and strong branding to make the VX2 stand out.
Here’s a comparison snapshot:

Hero MotoCorp will officially launch the Vida VX2 in India on 1 July, 2025. With its clean design, modular battery options, and practical features, it is shaping up to be a promising choice for first-time EV buyers and city commuters looking for reliability at a lower price point.
The Vida VX2 is Hero’s move to make electric mobility more accessible while still offering a well-rounded package. With removable batteries, expected tech-savvy features, and a competitive price bracket, the VX2 is likely to attract a wide range of urban users looking for convenience and value in an EV scooter.
