Hero Vida VX2 Launched: Affordable Electric Scooter with Game-Changing Battery Subscription
Hero MotoCorp’s latest EV, the Vida VX2, redefines budget electric commuting with smart pricing, a battery subscription model, and family-friendly features.
A New Era of Affordable EV Mobility
Hero MotoCorp, India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has launched the Vida VX2 electric scooter on July 1, 2025, marking the 102nd birth anniversary of its founder, Dr. BML Munjal. The VX2 enters the EV market with a bold promise: high range and premium features at an ultra-affordable price — shaking up the budget EV scooter segment.
The Vida VX2 is offered in two variants — VX2 Go and VX2 Plus — catering to daily commuters, first-time EV buyers, and families looking for a hassle-free and cost-effective electric mobility option.
Pricing That Disrupts the Market
Hero MotoCorp’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model is at the heart of the VX2’s affordability. It slashes the upfront cost and provides a flexible, low-maintenance ownership experience.
Ex-showroom prices with BaaS:
-
VX2 Go: ₹59,490 (range: 92 km, battery: 2.2 kWh)
-
VX2 Plus: ₹64,990 (range: 142 km, battery: 3.4 kWh)
Ex-showroom prices without BaaS (full ownership):
-
VX2 Go: ₹99,490
-
VX2 Plus: ₹1,09,990
BaaS offers benefits like:
-
Free fast charging
-
Extended battery warranty
-
Assured battery buyback
-
Home charging support
-
Per km running cost of just ₹0.96
Tech-Ready and Reliable
Both variants come with a 4.3-inch display — LCD for the Go and TFT for the Plus. Hero offers a 5-year or 50,000 km warranty, boosting buyer confidence. Key tech includes regenerative braking, fast charging capability, and app-based smart features.
Hero’s growing network of 3,600+ charging stations nationwide supports its electric mobility ambitions, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Competing Where It Hurts
While most entry-level e-scooters in India are priced above ₹1 lakh, Hero’s under-₹60,000 base price under BaaS significantly undercuts competitors like Ola S1X, TVS iQube, and Bajaj Chetak. The VX2 also offers better value with longer range and wider charging support.
“At ₹59,490, with features like free fast charging and low running cost, the VX2 is positioned to disrupt the mass EV market,” says an EV analyst at AutoMob Insights.
Why It Matters
The Vida VX2 is more than just another electric scooter—it represents Hero’s serious push into EVs with a user-first approach. By lowering the barrier to entry through BaaS, offering a robust warranty, and building EV infrastructure, Hero MotoCorp is making electric mobility more accessible and dependable for the average Indian household.
If you're looking for a daily commuter EV with low ownership cost, long range, and Hero’s trusted after-sales network, the Vida VX2 may be your best bet in 2025.
