Sometimes, all it takes is one spark to ignite a revolution—and that’s exactly what Hero MotoCorp has done with the launch of the Vida VX2 electric scooter. In a world where affordability and sustainability often seem like opposite ends of a spectrum, the VX2 brings them beautifully together. This isn’t just a scooter—it’s a statement, a promise to everyday Indians that clean mobility can be both smart and accessible. Priced at just ₹59,490 under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, it arrives not only as the most affordable Hero electric scooter yet but also as a game-changer for India’s EV ecosystem.
A Game-Changer in Pricing and Accessibility
With the launch of the Vida VX2 electric scooter, Hero MotoCorp has positioned itself as the first two-wheeler manufacturer in India to offer the Battery-as-a-Service model, aiming to tear down the upfront cost barrier that often deters buyers from switching to EVs. The base variant, VX2 Go, is offered at just ₹59,490 (ex-showroom) under the BaaS model, while the premium VX2 Plus comes at ₹64,990. For those who prefer outright ownership, the VX2 Go is priced at ₹99,490, and the VX2 Plus at ₹1,09,990.
The battery subscription plan, starting at only ₹0.96 per kilometre, makes daily commuting more affordable, especially for middle-class families, students, and office-goers who have long awaited a practical and economic EV solution.
Simple Yet Stylish: The Design Speaks Function
Hero hasn’t compromised on design either. Drawing heavily from the earlier Vida Z scooter, the Vida VX2 electric scooter retains the signature LED tail-lamps and robust 12-inch wheels. The design is tailored to Indian roads, blending style with purpose. The single-piece stepped seat offers better ergonomics, allowing both rider and pillion to enjoy a comfortable journey, even on chaotic city streets. The look is minimal yet modern—perfect for those who seek both function and flair.
Performance Meets Practicality
The VX2 Go comes with a 2.2 kWh swappable battery that offers a certified range of 92 km (IDC) on a full charge. The VX2 Plus variant takes it up a notch with a 3.4 kWh battery, promising a range of up to 142 km—more than enough for the average Indian commute. Whether you’re riding to college, office, or your nearby market, the VX2 ensures you won’t need to charge it every day.
What truly makes this scooter future-ready is its fast-charging capability. Both variants can charge up to 80% in just about 60 minutes. Moreover, Vida provides three flexible charging options, supporting both home charging and fast-charging stations across its vast network. With India witnessing a surge in EV infrastructure, Vida’s thoughtful charging solutions promise minimal downtime and maximum mobility.
Tech That Talks to You
In an age where even our toasters are smart, Hero has ensured that the Vida VX2 electric scooter is no less. The VX2 Plus is fitted with a 4.3-inch TFT display, while the VX2 Go offers a 4.3-inch LCD. Both screens are capable of turn-by-turn navigation, so getting lost is never an option.
That’s not all. Smart features like smartphone connectivity, real-time ride tracking, remote immobilisation, cloud-based security, and Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates make this scooter not just a ride but a connected experience. The VX2 fits perfectly into the modern lifestyle, syncing your scooter with your phone just as smoothly as you sync your headphones.
Why the Battery-as-a-Service Model Could Reshape India’s EV Future
The Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) strategy isn’t just a pricing model—it’s a mindset shift. By separating the battery cost from the vehicle’s upfront price, Hero MotoCorp is removing one of the biggest hurdles to EV adoption. This concept was already tested successfully by MG Motor in the passenger EV segment, where its market share rose from 16.5% to over 41% within a few months of adopting BaaS.
Similarly, with over 3,600 charging stations and 500+ service points across India, Hero is building not just scooters but a sustainable ecosystem. Analysts believe that this move could help Hero grab a significant market share in the electric two-wheeler segment, especially among cost-conscious Indian buyers.
However, some industry experts caution that the BaaS model may not be ideal for high-usage riders in the long run. For users riding extensively on a daily basis, the cumulative cost of battery subscription might eventually exceed the savings from the low upfront price. Yet, for the average Indian who rides 20-30 km daily, this remains a highly attractive offer.
A Scooter that Speaks to the Indian Heart
The Vida VX2 electric scooter isn’t just about specs or pricing—it’s about people. It’s about giving more Indians the chance to embrace green technology without burning a hole in their pockets. From students who ride to classes, to delivery agents navigating the city, to office-goers looking for an efficient and stylish ride—VX2 is here for all.
With its affordable pricing, smart features, and thoughtful subscription model, Hero MotoCorp has not just launched a new scooter—it has taken a bold step toward an electrified, accessible, and connected India. The VX2 electric scooter proves that the future is not just coming—it’s already here, and it’s riding on two wheels.
