Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter: What We Know So Far
Recently, Hero MotoCorp dropped a teaser video for the Vida VX2, revealing some exciting details. The new electric scooter promises to deliver style, functionality, and sustainability – all at a budget-friendly price.
The Vida VX2 will be part of Hero's Vida electric mobility brand, and it is expected to be launched with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. This means customers won't need to buy the battery outright – instead, they can choose a subscription-based model that lowers the initial purchase cost.
New Subscription-Based BaaS Model from Hero MotoCorp
Starting from July 1, 2025, the Vida VX2 electric scooter will introduce Hero's new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model in India. This service allows customers to subscribe to the battery instead of owning it, making the overall cost of the scooter significantly lower.
Buyers can select from:
Monthly rental plans
Pay-per-kilometre plans
This flexible and affordable model aims to make electric scooters more accessible for Indian riders, especially those switching from petrol scooters.
Hero Vida VX2 Expected Price in India
The expected price of the Hero Vida VX2 is likely to be around Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom) if purchased with the battery. However, with the BaaS option, customers may only have to pay around Rs 70,000 (ex-showroom), making it one of the most affordable electric scooters in Hero's lineup, as reported in Livemint.
This pricing strategy could place the Vida VX2 in a strong position in India's competitive EV market, offering budget-conscious buyers a practical way to go electric.
Stylish Colour Options and Design Details
The Hero Vida VX2 will feature a sleek, minimalistic design and come in a range of monotone colour options, including: White, Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Black, Grey.
These fresh colours set the VX2 apart from the dual-tone colour options available with the Vida V2.
Variants, Battery, and Range Details
The Vida VX2 electric scooter will reportedly come in two variants – Go and Plus. Both will feature different battery packs to cater to different needs:
Go variant – Expected to come with a 2.2 kWh battery
Plus variant – Likely to have a larger 3.4 kWh battery
These models are also expected to offer:
Removable and swappable dual batteries
Expected range of around 100 km per charge
This flexibility makes the Hero Vida VX2 ideal for both short city rides and slightly longer commutes.
Features and Specifications of Hero Vida VX2
Inspired by the Vida Z concept, the Vida VX2 electric scooter will share its core structure with the existing Vida V2, but with some design upgrades. Here are some expected features and specifications:
LED headlamp, LED DRL, and LED indicators
LED tail lamps
TFT digital display instrument cluster
Single flat seat for added comfort
Front disc brake on top variant
Drum brakes on base variant (to keep cost low)
While some cost-cutting has been done to maintain affordability, the Hero Vida VX2 still promises solid build quality and attractive features for the price point.
A Game-Changer in Electric Mobility
The launch of the Hero Vida VX2 electric scooter on BML Munjal's birth anniversary is more than just a product release – it's a celebration of innovation, affordability, and sustainability. With its smart battery subscription model, stylish looks, and practical features, the Vida VX2 has the potential to become a top-selling electric scooter in India.
Keep an eye out as Hero MotoCorp begins a new chapter in electric mobility, honouring its founder with a scooter that reflects his vision and values.

‘Rude and confusing': US employee shares frustrations over disorganised work culture at Indian company
A Reddit post has triggered widespread discussion after a user shared his confusing and frustrating experience of working remotely for an India-based company while living in the United States. In a post titled "Indian company in US – rude and confusing", user @Mediocre-Magazine-30 described a month-long ordeal marked by poor leadership, excessive micromanagement, and what he felt were significant cultural differences in workplace communication. A US employee shared frustrations about confusing leadership and micromanagement at an Indian company.(Representational image/Pixabay) (Also read: Indian employee in US asked to 'stop speaking in meetings' because of accent: 'I felt insulted') 'So I've taken this job with a company based in India. I live in the US. My job is to get the company going in America,' he wrote. 'I report to the US CEO (I think) but it seems I have like five bosses, all who don't coordinate.' He went on to describe a confusing work structure and a lack of training. 'It's been a month and so far the job is super confusing with either no direction or way over-the-top micromanagement.' No training, constant calls, and unprofessional behaviour The user mentioned being assigned a cold call campaign, with mandatory check-ins at 8 am and 4:30 pm every weekday. 'In general there is no training, and the lead guy sitting in India today was very rude and acted like I haven't been doing anything,' he said. 'He also complained and ambushed me about other irrelevant topics such as why I haven't dug into the CRM — there is nothing to do on it yet.' He concluded by expressing anxiety over possibly being fired soon, adding, 'Maybe I need to work harder, but today was just unreal where this Indian guy turned on me and was so disrespectful.' Check out the post here: Online users weigh in The post received several comments from users who related to the situation or offered advice. One commenter wrote, 'Buddy, these are people who expect you to be like a servant. You can't reason with them.' Another urged calmness, suggesting: 'Just say that it would be nice to have a productive conversation. If not, take a break and continue later.' Others pointed to systemic issues in Indian corporate environments. 'It's quite common — no coordination, micromanagement, lack of clarity, ego issues, and sudden blame games,' one said. Another advised, 'Please find a new job. Not worth it. They'll probably bring in one of their own anyway.' (Also read: US company demands Indian employee keep camera on during work hours.
