Hero MotoCorp has launched its all-new electric scooter range, the Vida VX2, in India — and it’s grabbing attention for more than just its features. Available in two variants — VX2 Go and VX2 Plus — the scooter enters the market with a compelling price tag, especially under the brand’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model.

Affordable, Flexible Pricing
Under the BaaS model, buyers pay only for the scooter initially, opting for a battery subscription instead of an outright purchase. This approach significantly lowers the entry cost:
Variant |
Ex-Showroom Price (Delhi) |
With BaaS |
| VX2 Go | Rs 99,490 | Rs 59,490 |
| VX2 Plus | Rs 1,09,990 | Rs 64,990 |
This pricing undercuts rivals like the Bajaj Chetak and Ola S1 Z, making the VX2 a highly attractive option — particularly for gig workers and urban commuters.
Battery, Range & Charging
Both VX2 variants feature removable battery packs that can be charged at home or on the scooter. Claimed range differs by variant:
Variant |
Battery |
Claimed Range (IDC) |
| Go | 2.2kWh (single battery) | 92 km |
| Plus | 3.4kWh (dual batteries) | 142 km |
In addition to home charging, users get access to over 3,600 charging stations across India.
Performance & Specs
Despite its budget-friendly pricing, the VX2 doesn’t skimp on performance:

VX2 Plus |
| Peak Power | 6kW | 6kW |
| 0-40 km/h | 4.2 sec | 3.1 sec |
| Top Speed | 70 km/h | 80 km/h |

Colours & Market Fit
The VX2 is available in seven vibrant colours, including Nexus Blue, Pearl Red, Matte Lime, and more. With strong specs, removable batteries, and aggressive pricing, it emerges as a trustworthy, everyday electric scooter from a veteran manufacturer — a strong contrast to many uncertain, newer EV startups.
With competitors like Ola facing delays in deliveries and updates, Hero’s move seems both timely and impactful. For budget-conscious riders and gig economy workers alike, the Vida VX2 could be the electric scooter to beat.
