It’ll carry a fresh face and could command a competitive price
[Update: The Hero Vida V1 electric scooter has been launched in India. For pricing, features and other details, take a look at the launch report.]
Hero MotoCorp’s electric mobility brand Vida is all set to launch its first scooter tomorrow, something that the brand officially teased the launch a couple of weeks ago. In fact, a Hero scooter was even spied testing last month and we think it could be the Vida e-scooter.
While the specifications of the Hero Vida electric scooter are yet under the wraps, we do know that it will flaunt a fresh, minimalist design language which will be quite a departure from the design of Hero’s existing ICE lineup. The illustration of the e-scooter in the teaser looked quite similar to the Gogoro S1. The company had, in fact, also partnered with Gogoro back in April 2021 and is all set to get Gogoro’s swappable battery technology too.
Previous photos have revealed that the e-scooter will get a telescopic front fork and a monoshock. It is likely to get drum brakes and will ride on 12-inch and 10-inch alloys, at the front and rear, respectively. You can read all about it here.
Expect the Hero Vida electric scooter to come bearing a price tag of around Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up against the likes of the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube Electric. In addition to the upcoming Vida scooter, Hero MotoCorp had also partnered with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) to set up charging infrastructure across the country for electric two-wheelers. The launch will also reveal more details about Hero MotoCorp’s recent partnership with Zero motorcycles.
