The announcement comes as part of the company’s push to make electric scooters more accessible and appealing to everyday family use and to strengthen its footprint in the urban EV segment.Unveiled in New Delhi by Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways, this variant is importantly positioned below the top-spec Plus variant but brings many of the same hardware upgrades that earlier were reserved for higher cost models.What’s new?The key upgrade is the 3.4 kWh dual removable battery pack now being offered on the Go trim (where previously the Go variant featured a 2.2 kWh pack). This enables a claimed 100 km real-world range per charge in typical riding conditions.The powertrain remains a 6 kW motor delivering 26 Nm of torque. Top speed is rated at 70 km/h and there are two riding modes (Eco + Ride) to tune between economy and normal use.Practical features aimed at Indian commuting include a wide flat floorboard for ease of entry, a long family-friendly seat, 12-inch alloy wheels, LED head- and tail-lights, and 27.2 litres of under-seat storage for helmets and bags. Suspension has been tuned specifically for Indian road conditions.Pricing & Ownership OptionsThe new variant is priced at ₹1.02 lakh ex-showroom (Delhi) when bought outright without battery-subscription.Alternatively, under VIDA’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, buyers can purchase the scooter for as low as ₹60,000 , with the battery rented separately at ₹0.90 per km.This BaaS option helps lower the upfront cost and can be attractive for riders who prefer avoiding the large initial investment for the battery pack.Why this mattersWith more EV options entering the market, the addition of this variant gives VIDA better flexibility to address varying consumer segments — from budget-conscious buyers opting for BaaS to those willing to buy outright for a higher battery capacity. The “real-world” 100 km range is significant because it meets the daily commuting needs of many Indian urban riders and reduces range anxiety.Furthermore, the removable battery pack adds convenience for apartment dwellers or users without dedicated parking with charging infrastructure, allowing the battery to be removed and charged at home or workplace.The dual removable battery setup is also a competitive differentiator in the Indian e-scooter market, where many models still employ fixed batteries or smaller packs. By bringing this technology to a more accessible price point, HERO/VIDA is signaling an intent to accelerate EV adoption among everyday users.Practical ConsiderationsWhile the declared real-world range is 100 km, actual range will vary depending on riding mode, load (passenger + luggage), ambient temperature, road conditions, and usage of accessories.The top speed of 70 km/h is adequate for urban commuting and occasional ring-road use, but may not satisfy those looking for higher speeds or highway usage.Under the BaaS model, though the upfront scooter cost is lower, the pay-per-km battery rental will add over the life of the scooter — buyers need to evaluate total cost of ownership depending on annual usage.OutlookThis launch positions VIDA’s VX2 lineup strongly in the entry-to-mid electric scooter segment in India. By providing a higher-capacity battery variant at an accessible price (or via subscription), the company aims to broaden its appeal beyond early adopters to mainstream families and urban commuters. The dual-battery removable system and family-friendly design further enhance its suitability for everyday use.In the coming months, our eyes will be on dealer feedback, delivery timelines (scheduled from November 2025), consumer reviews (especially on range, ride comfort and battery durability), and how this variant competes with other EV scooters in the ₹1-1.2 lakh (on-road) bracket. As the Indian EV ecosystem matures, variants such as this could play a pivotal role in mainstream adoption.
