Hero Vida VX2 Launched at ₹59,490 with 142KM Range
India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, has launched its most affordable electric scooter under its electric mobility brand Vida — the Hero Vida VX2. This scooter is making headlines not only for its attractive price point but also for offering an impressive 142 kilometres IDC range and an innovative Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, setting a new benchmark in the Indian electric vehicle segment. The starting price is ₹59,490 (ex-showroom), making it the most affordable premium electric scooter in India.
Hero Vida VX2: India’s Most Budget-Friendly Electric Scooter
The Hero Vida VX2 has been designed keeping in mind the needs of urban riders and families looking for a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and reliable mode of transport. It is the production version of the Vida Z concept that was showcased at EICMA 2024 and Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. The company has introduced the scooter in two variants: Hero Vida VX2 Go and Hero Vida VX2 Plus, offering different battery capacities and ranges.
A key highlight of this scooter is its Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, which allows customers to purchase the scooter without a battery and pay on a per-kilometre basis at a rate of ₹0.96/km. This model significantly brings down the initial cost, with prices starting at ₹59,490 for the Vida VX2 Go and ₹64,990 for the Vida VX2 Plus. This makes it significantly more affordable compared to competitors like TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ola S1, and Ather Rizta.
Hero MotoCorp also promises free battery replacement if performance drops below 70%. Additionally, the scooter comes with a comprehensive 5-year or 50,000-kilometre warranty, offering added peace of mind to buyers.
