One of the leading 2-wheeler makers, Hero is all set to launch the new Vida electric scooters by next year. It is expected that the Hero will introduce more variants of the current V1 range. However, the 2-wheeler maker is currently focusing on expanding the dealership network across the country.
Hero to expand its dealership network
The leading 2-wheeler manufacturer is currently focusing on expanding its dealership network across the country. During a recent investor meeting, Hero announced an ambitious brand expansion plan in several key areas. The plan includes extending its dealership network and developing a range of new products for the Indian market.
The initial phase of the strategy involves expanding the dealership network to 100 additional cities by 2024. This strategic move will provide Hero with a solid foundation for launching their new products, enabling them to reach a wider audience and ultimately boost sales. With these plans, Hero is poised to make significant strides in the market.
Hero to update its Vida range
In addition to its dealership expansion plan, Hero has exciting developments in store for their Vida portfolio. For this expansion, the company has made investments in research and development with a focus on creating new models. These upcoming electric scooters will be built upon the reliable and proven V1 platform.
With the platform’s flexibility, Hero plans to introduce a diverse range of models to cater to various use cases. Whether it’s for urban commuting, leisure rides, or specific purposes, the new Vida electric scooters will offer options to suit different needs and preferences. Furthermore, we can expect that the 2-wheeler manufacturer will introduce more variants of the existing Vida V1 electric scooter.
Powertrain and Launch Timeline
The current iteration of the Vida V1 electric scooter boasts a 3.94kWh battery pack and a robust 6kW electric motor. This combination enables the scooter to achieve a range of 110 kilometers on a single charge. The electric scooter is currently priced at Rs. 1.26 Lakhs Ex-showroom and has multiple riding modes – Eco, Ride, and Sport.
However, it is expected that Hero might offer more powerful variants of Vida with a higher riding range. While the current Vida V1 already offers a host of impressive features such as an anti-theft alarm, turn-by-turn navigation, geo-fencing, etc. The renowned 2-wheeler manufacturer will introduce the new variants of Vida electric scooters by the mid of 2024.
