Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to launch the Vida VX2 electric scooter on July 1, 2025. Designed as a budget-friendly alternative to its existing EV lineup, the VX2 introduces an innovative Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model an approach that separates the battery cost from the vehicle, making electric scooters more accessible to a wider audience.
Flexible Ownership with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS)
One of the most appealing aspects of the VIDA VX2 is its subscription-based battery model. Instead of buying the battery outright, customers can opt for a monthly payment plan based on how much they ride. This dramatically lowers the upfront cost, allowing more people especially first-time EV buyers—to consider switching to electric mobility.
Pay for the scooter chassis upfront
Subscribe to the battery as per your usage
Choose flexible plans tailored to your daily or occasional rides
This “pay-as-you-go” option brings freedom and affordability to the EV market, offering a practical solution for those hesitant about high initial investments or long-term battery ownership.
Extensive Charging and Service Network
Buying an electric vehicle should come with convenience, and Hero delivers on that. The VIDA VX2 gives riders access to:
3,600+ fast-charging stations
500+ service centers
Coverage in 100+ cities across India
This infrastructure ensures that customers won’t have to worry about finding a charging station or getting timely service.
Design and Key Features of the Vida VX2
Inspired by the Vida Z concept, the VX2 features a clean and modern design. Here’s what it offers:
Matte yellow finish for a fresh and sporty look
LED projector headlamps, tail lamps, and sequential turn signals
12-inch dual-tone alloy wheels
A physical key system instead of a digital smart key
This electric scooter focuses on essential design elements that balance style with affordability.
Optimized for Daily Use at a Lower Cost
To keep the scooter accessible, Hero has made a few feature adjustments compared to its premium Vida V2. Still, the VX2 includes all the must-haves for daily commuters:
TFT display instead of a touchscreen
Simplified body panels
Single-piece seat
Front disc brake for safe and efficient braking
And yes, it still comes with a removable battery, which makes charging and swapping more flexible for riders.
Battery Options and Range Expectations
The VIDA VX2 will likely come in two battery configurations:
- 2.2 kWh single battery unit for the base model
- Dual 3.4 kWh setup for higher variants
Depending on the variant, the range could exceed 100 km, with the top model possibly reaching up to 165 km on a full charge. This makes it ideal for daily urban commuting and short intercity trips.
Pricing and Target Audience
The expected starting price is around ₹65,000 (ex-showroom)—positioning it as one of the most affordable electric scooters in the market. It’s built for:
Urban commuters
Students and working professionals
Budget-conscious buyers entering the EV space
Why the Vida VX2 Could Change the Game
With the launch of the VX2, Hero MotoCorp is doing more than just releasing a new model—it’s redefining EV ownership. By lowering barriers through flexible battery subscriptions and offering wide service access, Hero aims to boost electric vehicle adoption across India.
