Hero MotoCorp’s electric mobility arm Vida has dropped the prices on the V2 electric scooter range. The Vida V2 is not only more affordable but also undercuts its rivals by a decent margin. The V2 electric scooter is available in three variants - Lite, Plus, and Pro. The Vida V2 Lite is now priced at ₹74,000, making it more accessible by ₹22,000. The Vida V2 Plus is cheaper by ₹32,000 and is now priced at ₹82,800. Lastly, the Vida V2 Pro is more affordable by ₹14,700 and is currently retailing at Rs. 1.20 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom, New Delhi, and include central subsidies.

Vida V2 Lite Specifications

The Vida V2 replaces the V1 in the brand’s lineup. It was launched last year as a more accessible alternative to the V1, which now stands discontinued. The V2 is essentially an updated version and is available with three battery pack options. The entry-level V2 Lite packs a smaller 2.2 kWh battery pack with a range of 94 km (IDC) on a single charge. The base variant packs the essentials with a 7-inch TFT display, LED projector headlamp, regen braking, keyless entry, and two riding modes - Eco and ride. The V2 Lite can sprint from 0-40 kmph in 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 69 kmph.

Vida V2 Plus Specifications

The Vida V2 Plus packs a bigger 3.4 kWh battery with a range of 143 km (IDC), with a 0-40 kmph coming up in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 85 kmph. It has three riding modes - Eco, City, and Sport - while carrying over the features from the Lite variant.

Vida V2 Pro Specifications

Lastly, the Vida V2 Pro gets a larger 3.9 kWh battery pack with a range of 165 km (IDC). The electric scooter gets a higher top speed at 90 kmph and can accelerate from 0-40 kmph in 2.9 seconds. Vida offers a fourth ‘Custom’ ride mode on the V2 Pro in addition to the three existing ride modes. The Vida V2 range is the only electric scooter to get a removable battery pack, which sets it apart from its competitors. Do note that the new Honda Activa e gets a swappable battery and not a removable one.

Vida has yet to make a mark on the sales front, with Bajaj Auto, TVS, and Ola Electric leading the race. Ather Energy is the fourth-largest player in terms of sales. The new price drop, along with a more expansive availability of the V2, should help pick up sales for the company. Hero is retailing the Vida V2 via select showrooms and the new Premia dealerships with a presence in over 200 cities.
