Vida V2 electric scooters get benefits of up to ₹40,000 but there's a catch

Vida Electric has announced that they are offering benefits of up to ₹40,000 with the V2 electric scooters if the customers buy them from Amazon or Flipkart. The shopping websites are offering bank discounts, EMIs, cashback and GST benefits.

The Vida V2 Lite represents the most budget-friendly option in the series. Equipped with a 2.2 kWh battery, it offers a range of 94 km (IDC) on a full charge. This model is a fresh addition to the Vida lineup, complementing the Plus and Pro versions. The V2 Lite has a maximum speed of 69 km/h and features two riding modes: Ride and Eco. Its specifications are consistent with those of the pricier models, including a 7-inch TFT touchscreen display.

The V2 Plus is equipped with a larger 3.44 kWh battery, offering a range of 143 km, whereas the V2 Pro features an even bigger 3.94 kWh battery that provides a maximum range of 165 km on a single charge. Both models in the V2 series have removable battery packs, which can be charged to 80 percent in approximately six hours.

Vida V2 Specifications

The Vida V2 is powered by a PMS motor mounted on the swingarm, which produces 6 kW (8 bhp) and delivers a peak torque of 26 Nm.
