Powertrain & Performance Review
Motor Specs and Top Speed
The HERO VIDA VX2 is equipped with a 2kW hub motor that can run at a top speed of 55 km/h—ideal for driving through traffic seamlessly. It’s not highway-racing material, but it zooms in and out of city streets.
Real-World Riding Experience
Test ride shows acceleration to be linear and smooth. The scooter takes potholes fairly well, with cornering being confident due to low center of gravity.
Battery, Range & Charging
Battery Capacity and Type
VIDA VX2 is equipped with two removable Lithium-ion battery packs, each providing approximately 1.5 kWh capacity, so charging at home or switching on the move is easy.
Charging Time and Portability
Using a standard 5A home socket, each battery takes about 4 hours to fully charge. Swapping batteries is as simple as lifting a handle and inserting a fresh unit.
Range and Performance Under Load
Combined, the scooter delivers a real-world range of up to 85 km on a single charge under Eco Mode. In Power Mode, expect around 60 km—ideal for daily errands or office commutes.

Safety Features and Braking
With combi-braking system (CBS), regenerative braking, and side-stand engine cut-off, the VX2 doesn’t make it short on safety.
Riding Modes Explained
Three ride modes—Eco, Ride, and Power—allow you to customize range or performance according to need.

Seat Height and Comfort
With a 785 mm seat height, it’s accessible for the majority of Indian riders. The broad seat and straight handlebars make for an easy riding position.

Storage under the seat can accommodate a half-face helmet. Plastics are found to be robust, and fit-finish is superior to expectations at this price level.
Price and Variants
Expected Price in India
Priced between ₹85,000 to ₹95,000 (ex-showroom), the VX2 is one of the cheapest connected EVs in India.
Government Subsidies and FAME-II Benefits
