A Scooter That’s Built Around You

Not every electric scooter needs to shout. Some just speak your language. And that’s exactly what Hero MotoCorp is doing with the upcoming Vida VX2, launching on July 1.

Where most EVs try to wow with futuristic features and sky-high price tags, the VX2 feels more grounded. It’s honest. Simple. And most importantly, made for people who just want a reliable, budget-friendly ride to get around town.

Practicality First, Frills Later

The VX2 doesn’t go overboard. You get removable batteries, a straightforward key ignition, drum brakes (with a disc up front in higher trims), and tactile buttons instead of overcomplicated touchscreens. There’s a compact digital display, a design inspired by the slick VIDA Z concept, and the kind of city-focused simplicity that makes life easier.

It’s not about flaunting features. It’s about getting from A to B without stress.

A Battery Model That’s Actually Thoughtful

Here’s where Hero gets smart: instead of asking you to buy the battery outright, you can opt for their Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. What that means? Lower initial prices (expect ₹65K–₹70K ex-showroom) and the ability to swap out batteries when needed. No charging at home? No problem.

With 2.2kWh and 3.4kWh removable battery options, you’re looking at a real-world range of 100+ km — enough for daily city runs without ever feeling anxious.

Simple, Affordable, and Just Makes Sense

Let’s be real: not everyone needs a flashy, expensive scooter. What we need is something we can count on. That’s why the Vida VX2 stands out. It’s not here to impress — it’s here to serve, and that’s more refreshing than any big screen or gimmicky app.

Plus, Hero’s massive service network means support is never too far away.

And honestly, maybe that’s exactly what India’s been waiting for—a scooter that keeps things real, and gets the job done without making a fuss.
