Hero MotoCorp, through its electric vehicle brand Vida, has recently launched its most affordable electric scooter, the Hero Vida VX2 (EVooter). This new model is designed to be a more family-centric and accessible option compared to their existing Vida V1 and V2 scooters.
The Vida VX2 (EVooter) comes in two main variants:
- Vida VX2 Go
- Vida VX2 Plus
A significant highlight of the VX2 series is the introduction of a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) subscription model, which aims to bring down the upfront purchase cost of the scooter.
Here’s a detailed look at the Hero Vida VX2:
EVooter – Pricing (Ex-showroom, Delhi, as of July 2025):
| Variant | Price with BaaS (Ex-showroom) | Price without BaaS (Ex-showroom) |
| VX2 Go | ₹59,490 | ₹99,490 |
| VX2 Plus | ₹64,990 | ₹1,09,990 |

- BaaS Model: Under the Battery-as-a-Service model, customers pay separately for the battery usage, typically per kilometer, which significantly reduces the initial cost of the scooter. Hero claims a running cost as low as ₹0.96 per km with BaaS.
- Removable Batteries: Both variants come with removable batteries, offering flexibility for charging at home, office, or any standard 5A socket.

EVooter – Target Audience:
The Vida VX2 aims to cater to a broader range of customers looking for an affordable yet feature-packed electric scooter for daily commutes and family use. The BaaS model makes it particularly attractive for those who want to reduce the initial investment in an EV.
EVooter – Availability:
Bookings for the Hero Vida VX2 are now open online and at dealerships across India, with customer deliveries already underway.
The Hero Vida VX2 positions itself as a strong contender in the competitive Indian electric scooter market, offering a blend of affordability, practical features, and the reliability of the Hero MotoCorp brand.
