Hero Vida VX2 Review; Easy And Affordable Electric Scooter
Any potential electric two-wheeler buyer faces two roadblocks, first is the lack of charging facilities and the second is the high upfront cost! But with the new Vida VX2, Hero MotoCorp aims to solve both these issues. How? We will break it down in this review and tell you why that could be a game-changer. The Vida brand has been on sale since October 2022 and what is interesting is the fact that the sales of Hero MotoCorp's electric brand grew an astounding 175 per cent from FY2024 to FY2025, with over 48,600 units sales in FY2025. So here is our first impression of the brand-new Hero Vida VX2 electric scooter or Evooter (EV+Scooter), as the company calls it. Hero Vida VX2: Design & Features The design of the Vida VX2 is similar to that of the Vida V2. The one big change is that the seat is now a single-piece unit on the VX2 and the body panels are different too. The VX2 misses out on touch-enabled instrument console, but honestly, that is not something I would consider a miss. The scooter gets a 4.3-inch TFT display along with app connectivity and navigation. Full LED lighting is standard too and the under-seat storage is a decent 27.2 litres. On the VX2 Go, it is 33.2 litres, because of one less battery. It is the only scooter in its class to offer remote immobilisation and cloud connectivity for added security. The app also offers real-time ride statistics, telemetry, and Over-The-Air updates. The scooter has three riding modes - Eco, Ride and Sport. Hero Vida VX2: Battery & Specifications The Vida VX2 is offered in two trims, the Go and the Plus. The Go gets a 2.2 kWh battery while the Plus gets a 3.4 kWh battery. The highlight is that the batteries can be removed and charged at the convenience of your home, office, gym and so on. Today we are riding the Plus variant, with the bigger battery pack. So, it has a claimed range of 142 km but the real-world range ranges from 100 km to 65 km, depending on the riding mode you choose. You can charge the batteries from 0-80 per cent in 4 hours and 13 minutes while charging to 100 per cent takes 5 hours and 39 minutes. The scooter gets a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) which makes a maximum of 6 kW. Hero also offers fast-charging capability on the Vida VX2, which means that battery can be charged up to 80 per cent in less than an hour. And of course, the batteries are IP68 rated. Hero Vida VX2: Performance What we liked about the Vida VX2 is that the scooter is easy to ride, and can be ridden by people of all age groups. It is relatively light, easy to filter through traffic, and feels nimble too. The acceleration is decent and it can cruise easily at 50-60 kmph till the state of charge reaches 20 per cent. Beyond that, the speed drops. For overtakes, one can also switch on the boost mode, which helps with quick overtakes on the road. The ride quality on the VX2 is decent and not overly stiff. The scooter has a top speed of 80 kmph, which is sufficient for city commutes. Hero Vida VX2: Pricing, Rivals & Battery Subscription Where Hero scored brilliantly is the pricing. By introducing battery as a service, the burden of cost is reduced significantly. Prices for the Vida VX2 Go start at Rs. 59,490 and for the VX2 Plus at Rs.64,990. If you add the cost of the batteries, then the prices go up to Rs. 99,490 for the VX2 Go and Rs. 109,990 for the VX2 Plus, respectively. Customers opting for battery as a service can choose to subscribe the pay per km model, which means the less they ride, the less they have to pay for the battery subscription. Furthermore, Hero has now reduced the prices of the Vida VX2 Go with a limited-time introductory offer, bringing down the price to Rs. 44,990. The introductory price for the Vida VX2 without the B-a-a-S is Rs. 57,990. All prices are ex-showroom. The other scooters that you could buy in this segment are the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, Honda Activa e: and the Ola S1 X. Hero Vida VX2: Verdict The Vida VX2 solves a huge problem for anyone who is looking to buy an electric scooter by removing the cost of the battery from the equation and thereby bringing down the costs significantly. It also makes sense for people who don't have a lot of running to do. The Vida VX2 gets a decent set of features and is one of the better options in the electric scooter segment with its range and practicality.

Hero Vida VX2 Plus first-ride review: Easy for city use, easier on wallet!
The electric scooter market in India has grown rapidly, with over 1 lakh units sold last month alone: a 31% jump. But with so many options now available from both legacy brands and startups, choosing the right one can be confusing. For most buyers, it all comes down to how easy, practical, and comfortable the scooter is. And for companies, getting the price right is key, especially in the entry-level segment. Hero MotoCorp's EV brand, Vida, has now entered this space with the VX2. It's offered in two variants, and we got a chance to try out the higher-spec VX2 Plus. Here's what we think of it. Hero Vida VX2: Design and build From the first glance, the VX2 Plus feels like a well-thought-out urban-commuting tool. It doesn't scream for attention but still manages to stand out, thanks to its modern, clean-cut design and choice of funky colour options. It features a wraparound LED headlamp with a sharp 'H' signature on the front apron. Similarly, the LED tail-lamp at the back with the 'H' signature looks sleek, well-integrated and pleasing to the eyes.

Techno Mag Learn More Undo by Taboola by Taboola That said, the design isn't trying too hard, and that's what works. Everything is well-integrated: body panels flow smoothly, there are no fussy lines, and overall, the scooter feels tightly built. Even the black turbine-like alloy wheels look sporty and purposeful, adding to the visual weight without feeling overdone. Hero Vida VX2: Ergonomics and comfort As soon as we swung a leg over the scooter, it immediately felt easygoing. The riding posture is nice and upright, with the handlebar placed just right for a relaxed grip. The seat feels spacious too - at 851 mm long, there's enough room for you and your pillion to sit comfortably without fighting for space. Speaking of the seat comfort, the cushioning is soft and supportive, and even after clocking around 45 km on the winding roads of Nandi Hills , we didn't feel any soreness or fatigue. Besides that, the floorboard is wide and flat, making it suitable for carrying a grocery bag or simply stretching your legs out. Hero Vida VX2: Performance and range Performance-wise, the VX2 Plus doesn't try to be something it's not. It's not pretending to be sporty or aggressive, and we believe that's a good thing. What it does is deliver smooth, usable power, exactly what you'd want for daily riding. Its 6 kW motor draws juice from two removable batteries with a combined capacity of 3.4 kWh. You get three ride modes: Eco, Ride, and Sport. During our ride, we mostly switched between Ride and Sport, and in both cases, the scooter felt responsive and steady. Acceleration is linear and predictable, with none of that sudden surge you sometimes get on EVs. It comfortably hits 80 kmph in Sport mode, and while that may not sound like much, it's more than enough for city roads. After our ride, there was still about 50 km of range left in Eco mode, which means you can realistically expect around 85 to 90 km of range with mixed usage of Ride and Sport mode. Should be more than enough for a daily workhorse. Hero Vida VX2: Hardware and features The suspension setup is well-judged too. There are telescopic forks up front and an offset monoshock at the rear, and they work in sync to absorb most of the typical city stuff: speed breakers, potholes, undulations - with minimal fuss. It's soft enough to be comfortable, but not so soft that it feels floaty. That said, the handling is light and easy, exactly what you want in traffic. Around corners or in straight-line stability, the VX2 Plus remains planted and predictable. Braking duties are handled by a disc up front and a drum at the rear. The front brake offers decent bite and feel. The rear could use a bit more initial sharpness, but you get used to it pretty quickly. For daily riding, the braking performance is adequate and confidence-inspiring. Now, let's talk about features because Hero has clearly put in the effort here. The 4.3-inch TFT display is well-illuminated, well laid-out and packs in everything you need: range, speed, SoC, ride modes, and even navigation when connected to your phone. There's a Reverse mode, super handy in tight parking spots. And then there's Boost mode, which you can enable from the cluster. It basically lets the scooter auto-switch between ride modes depending on how you're twisting the throttle, which is great for dealing with unpredictable traffic without constantly fumbling with the mode button. Storage is another win. The VX2 Plus offers 27.2 litres of underseat storage, big enough to squeeze in a full-face helmet. Up front, you get a 4.8-litre cubby hole with a USB charging port, and a small separate compartment for your phone. If we're nitpicking, a Type-C USB port would've been nice in our opinion. Hero Vida VX2: Charging flexibility Charging flexibility is another area where Hero scores big. You get not one but three ways to charge: a portable home charger (0-100 percent in about 5.5 hours), a fast charger (0-80 percent in just an hour), and the convenience of pulling out the battery packs and charging them wherever suits you - home, office, a cafe, anywhere. This level of flexibility should be a huge draw for buyers who live in apartments or don't have dedicated parking. Hero Vida VX2: Verdict So, after a half day of living with the Vida VX2 Plus, what's the verdict? It's simple: this scooter ticks all the right boxes. It looks sharp without being overstyled, rides comfortably, has enough performance for daily duties, offers decent range for daily use, and is packed with a host of features. And the best part? The pricing. The VX2 Plus is currently available at Rs 1 lakh for outright purchase or Rs 58,000 with the Battery-as-a-Service plan. That makes it not just compelling, but genuinely good value.
