Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter India Launch Set for July 1
Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to launch a new electric scooter under its Vida sub-brand — the Vida VX2 — in India on July 1, 2025. While official details about the VX2 are still under wraps, industry speculation suggests it could either be a rebadged version of the upcoming Vida Z or possibly an extension of the existing Vida V2 lineup. More information is expected to be revealed by the company in the coming weeks.
The Vida Z was first unveiled at EICMA 2024 as Hero’s flagship electric scooter for the European market. Since its debut, it has been spotted testing multiple times on Indian roads, indicating a strong possibility of a localized launch. Hero MotoCorp has already confirmed that the Vida Z will be launched in India in July 2025, raising further speculation that the VX2 and Z may essentially be the same scooter with different branding strategies.
Positioned as a more affordable alternative to the existing Vida V2, the Vida Z is expected to carry a lower price tag, potentially making electric mobility more accessible. For context, the current Vida V2 is priced between ₹85,000 and ₹1.35 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai, inclusive of central subsidies). The VX2, if based on the Vida Z, will likely undercut these figures, appealing to a broader range of urban commuters.
Design-wise, the Vida Z showcased a minimalist and refined look at EICMA, with sleek body panels, a rectangular LED headlamp integrated into the front apron, and a single-piece stepped seat complete with a rear backrest. Additional features include a trapezoidal tail lamp, front storage compartment for added practicality, and a compact TFT display.
The VX2 (or Vida Z) is also expected to feature removable batteries, making charging more convenient. The base variant could come with a single 2.2 kWh battery, while higher-spec versions might feature dual battery packs totaling 3.4 kWh, offering a range exceeding 100 km. Powering the scooter will likely be a direct-drive permanent magnet motor, delivering slightly lower peak output compared to the V2’s 6 kW, while still ensuring a smooth and efficient ride.
