Hero MotoCorp is set to expand its EV lineup with the Vida Z electric scooter. First showcased at EICMA 2024, the Vida Z has now been spotted testing in India without camouflage, hinting at an imminent launch.

Design & features

The Vida Z adopts a sleek and elegant design, unlike the sportier Vida V2 series. The test mule, seen in bright yellow, closely resembles the EICMA 2024 model but lacks orange accents and a pillion backrest. Key features include:

• LED projector headlamp
• Smooth front apron design
• Dual-tone handlebar cowl and mudguard
• LED tail lights and turn indicators
• Touchscreen instrument cluster with connectivity

Battery, range & performance

Built on a modular platform, the Vida Z will likely support 2.2 kWh to 4.4 kWh removable batteries, offering convenient home charging. A swingarm-mounted or mid-mounted electric motor is expected, delivering a practical city range.

Launch & expected pricing

With the Vida Z appearing production-ready, its launch could be near. As a global model, it will be sold in India and international markets like the UK. Pricing is expected to range between ₹1 lakh to ₹1.5 lakh (ex-showroom), competing with TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and Ather 450 series.
