Hero Vida VX2 Launched: Affordable Electric Scooter

Hero Vida VX2 Hits Indian Roads

Hero just launched the Vida VX2 electric scooter here. Starting at Rs 59,490, this EV brings fresh options for city riders. You get two versions: VX2 Go and VX2 Plus. Both work with Hero's battery subscription plan.

Hero Vida VX2 Pricing Choices

Pick between full ownership or battery-as-a-service (BaaS). Pay Rs 99,490 for the VX2 Go outright. Choose BaaS instead? It drops to Rs 59,490. The VX2 Plus costs Rs 1.10 lakh normally or Rs 64,990 with BaaS. Hero says BaaS cuts upfront costs big time. Just pay Rs 0.96 per kilometer for battery use. Pretty neat for budget riders.

Battery Power and Range

The VX2 Go packs a 2.2kWh removable battery. It gives 92km per charge. Need more distance? The VX2 Plus has twin batteries totaling 3.4kWh. That pushes range to 142km. Charging takes one hour for 80% with fast chargers. Standard chargers need six hours. Removable batteries mean home charging works. Hero backs them for five years.

Features and Daily Use

Both scooters include cloud connectivity. That means remote locking and live ride tracking. Turn-by-turn navigation helps too. The Plus variant sports a 4.3-inch TFT screen. The Go uses an LCD display. You get two riding modes: Eco and Ride. Storage differs between models. The Go holds 33.2 litres under-seat (fits a helmet). The Plus has 27.2 litres due to extra batteries. Design-wise, it comes in seven colors with family-friendly seating.

Final Thoughts

The Vida VX2 makes electric scooters truly reachable. Its BaaS model and low running costs stand out. For city commuting, this could be your smart switch.
