Hero Rolls Out Vida VX2 Series Starting at ₹59,490 – A New Chapter in Budget EV Commuting
Hero MotoCorp has just introduced the Vida VX2 lineup – its most budget-friendly electric scooters yet – aimed at bringing EVs within reach of everyday Indian riders. Priced at just ₹59,490 (with Battery-as-a-Service), the VX2 series is all about clean, reliable and affordable commuting on Indian roads.
This isn’t just one scooter – it’s a family of electric scooters for budget buyers and everyday riders.
What’s New in Vida VX2?
Hero’s new Vida VX2 lineup has multiple variants – likely Go, Plus and Pro – each designed for practicality and ease of ownership.
Here’s what’s new:
- Starting Price: ₹59,490 (with Battery-as-a-Service)
- The top-end versions, when purchased with the battery included, are priced at around ₹1.10 lakh.
- Range:
- Go variant – 92 km
- Plus variant – 142 km
- Running Cost: Just ₹0.96/km, one of the lowest in the segment
The VX2 also comes with Hero’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, where you can opt for battery leasing to reduce upfront cost. It’s a smart move that could make electric scooters far more accessible for newcomers to the EV space.
Features That Matter
While the VX2 is all about value, it doesn’t miss out on the essentials:
- LED lights
- Digital instrument cluster
- Removable batteries (perfect for apartment charging)
- Multiple ride modes like Eco, Ride and Sport
- Combi Brake System (CBS) for safety
Though simpler than the premium Vida V2 range, the VX2 will have basic smart features like smartphone pairing and anti-theft alerts – useful, not overkill.
Why This Matters
This is Hero’s biggest push into the budget EV segment. Hero’s aggressive pricing strategy positions the VX2 range as a strong contender against rivals like the TVS iQube, Ola S1 Air, and Bajaj Chetak – clearly signaling a push for wider market reach. The VX2 range sits below the Vida V1 and V2 which are feature loaded and priced between ₹1.2-1.5 lakh. For those who found those models expensive, the VX2 is the sweet spot.
Design and Daily Use
Full design details are still under wraps but expect a family friendly layout, practical stance, wide footboard and easy seating.
Thanks to removable battery tech, charging at home should be a breeze – no fixed wall box required. It’s designed for daily runs, school drops and grocery rides.

Conclusion

This is more than a product launch – electric mobility for everyone.
