In a significant step toward transforming electric mobility in India, Hero MotoCorp’s EV brand Vida has officially announced the launch of its new electric scooter, the Vida VX2, scheduled for July 1, 2025. This upcoming model is expected to blend futuristic design with a flexible ownership experience, making it one of the most anticipated EV launches this year.
Design Hints at Premium Urban Appeal
Although the scooter is yet to be fully unveiled, teaser visuals and dealership leaks suggest that the VX2 borrows heavily from the Vida Z concept previously seen at global expos. Key highlights include a sleek LED headlamp, a modern digital dashboard, and a clean, flat seat layout. The overall silhouette hints at a stylish and city-friendly electric two-wheeler.
Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) to Reduce Upfront Cost
What sets the VX2 apart is Hero Vida’s unique approach to battery ownership. The brand is introducing a subscription-based Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, allowing users to pay for battery usage separately from the scooter itself.
This move is aimed at reducing the initial cost of the vehicle, enabling buyers to finance the scooter and battery separately. Users can choose from multiple subscription tiers, tailored to their riding frequency — daily commuters or occasional riders alike.
Making Electric Vehicles More Accessible
Hero’s strategy focuses on making EVs affordable and flexible, especially for those who are hesitant to fully commit to battery ownership. By offering smaller, recurring battery payments, the company aims to attract a larger audience and ease adoption of electric mobility.
Established Charging and Service Ecosystem
The launch of the VX2 will be backed by Vida’s growing infrastructure, which already includes over 3,600 fast-charging stations and 500+ service outlets across more than 100 Indian cities. This network will be immediately available to VX2 owners, providing hassle-free charging and servicing options from day one.
Two Battery Configurations Likely
According to reports, the VX2 is expected to come in two variants:
- A standard model with a 2.2 kWh battery
- A higher-end version featuring dual 3.4 kWh batteries
The larger battery setup is expected to offer a claimed range of over 100 kilometers. Both versions will likely support removable batteries, enhancing convenience for urban users without access to dedicated charging stations.
More Details Coming at Launch Event
Hero MotoCorp is expected to disclose complete pricing, technical specifications, and subscription pricing during the official launch event on July 1. The VX2 could play a crucial role in reshaping India’s electric two-wheeler market, offering users a blend of performance, affordability, and ownership flexibility.
