Hero Vida First Owner Takes Delivery – Check Out All Details

Hero Motocorp has now officially delivered the first Vida electric scooter in India. This first unit of Hero Vida electric scooter was delivered to a customer in Bangalore.

To mark the occasion, the delivery of the first unit of the Hero Vida electric scooter was delivered by Dr Pawan Munjal, Chairman and CEO of Hero Motocorp and the event officially commenced the deliveries of the company's first electric scooter in India.

Diving into details, the Hero Vida V1 range of electric scooters is available for bookings in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Jaipur. Apart from that, interested customers from these states can reserve the Hero Vida V1 range of electric scooters by paying Rs 2,499, which is fully refundable if the customer decides to opt out.

That being said, Hero Motocorp has plans to make the Hero Vida electric scooter available in more than 200 locations in the country. However, to avoid long waiting times, the two-wheeler manufacturer will be launching the Hero Vida V1 range of electric scooters in a phased manner across the country.

Apart from that, it is worth mentioning that the new Hero Vida electric scooter is available in two variants. The base variant is the Hero Vida V1 Plus and this model is priced at Rs 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom, India). On the other hand, the top-spec Hero Vida V1 Pro electric scooter is priced at Rs 1.59 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

In terms of range, the Hero Vida V1 Plus electric scooter can go up to 143 kilometres on a full charge, whereas the more premium Hero Vida V1 Pro electric scooter cover 165 kilometres on a full charge. Moreover, Hero Motocorp claims that both the Hero Vida V1 Plus and Hero Vida V1 Pro electric scooters offer fast charging at speeds up to 1.2km/min and can charge using the Ather Grid network of fast charging points.

Coming to performance, the company claims that the Hero Vida V1 Plus can accelerate from a standstill to 40km/h in just 3.4 seconds, whereas the more premium Hero Vida V1 Pro electric scooter can achieve the same feat in just 3.2 seconds. Moreover, both variants sport a very handy 'limp mode' function which restricts top speed to just 10km/h to preserve the battery for maximum range.

Thoughts About The Hero Vida Electric Scooter

Though Hero Motocorp might seem a little late for the 'party' with the Hero Vida V1 electric scooters, we think this is the right time as the infrastructure for EVs has started growing rapidly and there are no clear market leaders as well. Apart from that, the specifications for the Vida V1 electric scooter also seem pretty strong for the price.
