Hello friends,
Hope you’re doing well today. Let’s talk about a fresh and interesting electric scooter from Hero Vida — the Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter— in simple language, like one friend telling another. Do you know it’s very special or unique? Because yes, it packs some smart features and good value for an urban rider like us.
What is the Hero Vida VX2?
So brother, the Hero Vida VX2 Electric Scooter is Hero’s budget-friendly electric scooter model introduced in India on July 1, 2025. It comes under the brand’s “Vida” electric mobility range. It’s built for everyday city rides—commute, errands, college runs, etc.
The scooter has two variants: Go and Plus. The Go variant has a 2.2 kWh battery, with a claimed 92 km range.
- Plus variant has a 3.4 kWh (dual battery) system, claimed up to 142 km. I
In our town (Revelganj, Bihar) you might expect on-road price to be somewhat higher than ex-showroom due to taxes, etc. The ex-showroom prices are:
- With BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service): From ₹ 59,490 for the Go.
- Plus variant: From ₹ 64,990.
- Without BaaS (battery included): Go ~ ₹ 99,490 and Plus ~ ₹ 1,09,990.
So if I had to guess for Revelganj: maybe around ₹ 65,000-70,000 for the Go if you go BaaS, and somewhat more with battery included. Something to keep in mind.
Why this scooter matters & my first impressions
Friend, what makes this scooter interesting to me:
- It is affordable in EV space. Many electric scooters cost more.
- It offers a removable battery pack(s). So at home you might charge indoors if you don’t have dedicated parking with a charger. This is a plus for places like our town. Smart features: connectivity, riding modes, decent performance for city use. So you don’t feel you’re compromising too much.
- It shows Hero is serious about EVs and not just petrol scooters.
On the flip side: always remember our roads in Revelganj / Bihar are sometimes uneven, and charging infrastructure may not be everywhere. So it’s very special or unique because it tries to bring electric mobility to more people, but practical use will depend on your parking & charging setup.
Design & Features — Let’s know something more interesting fact or feature
Alright brother, now let’s dig into design & specs like two friends chatting.
Appearance & Build
- It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels front & rear.
- It has LED lighting (head‐lamp, DRLs etc).
- Colours: It is offered in seven colours: Nexus Blue, Pearl Red, Matte White, Matte Lime, Metallic Grey, Autumn Orange, Pearl Black. Some colours are variant-exclusive. So you could pick something like Matte Lime or Autumn Orange if you like bold.
- Under‐seat storage: 33.2 litres in the Go variant (battery single pack), and 27.2 litres in Plus (battery dual pack eats some space).
- Seat height and riding posture seem comfortable for normal users (not super tall). Good for city commuting.

Real-Life Example from Someone Like Us
Brother, I want to share a real‐life example to make it relatable.
Imagine our town Revelganj: you have to commute 10-15 km daily: from home to office/market, maybe pick up some groceries. You don’t have a dedicated garage at home but you have a parking spot outside and you can plug a charger at night.
You pick the Vida VX2 Go variant (2.2 kWh battery). One day you ride, the battery shows enough, you plug in at night. On weekends you ride out a little 40-50 km; the plus variant would make that easier. You use Eco mode to save battery. You like the removable battery option because you bring it inside, plug in. You like the 27-32 litres under-seat space so you throw your helmet + bag.
But one evening you find there’s no fast charger near you (in our town maybe), so you rely on home charging. And if you charge from a normal socket, it might take longer. Or if there’s heavy traffic, speed limited etc you might feel that you’d need more range. So you decide: “Ok, maybe the Plus variant suits me if I often ride longer.”
Also, you love the colour Matte Lime (special one) or Autumn Orange as per the listing of colours.
So summary: It’s practical for everyday city use, and you feel good about being in the EV space but without blowing a huge budget.
Pros & Cons — My Honest View
Let’s be honest, friend. Things I like & things I think you should watch.
Pros
- Affordable entry into the electric scooter world (especially the Go variant).
- A removable battery gives flexibility (great for a town like ours).
- Good tech & connectivity for price (smart display, riding modes, cloud).
- Results suitable for city commuting: top speed ~70-80 km/h, range enough for daily use.
- Many colour options let you pick something you like (not just standard black/grey).
Cons / Things to consider
- Infrastructure: Even though Hero says they have many charging points, in smaller towns you may have fewer of them. So you need to ensure home charging is possible.
- Range in real life: IDC certified numbers are under ideal conditions. In traffic, hills, high speed, range may drop.
- Battery subscription model (BaaS): Good for lower upfront cost, but you must check the cost of battery rental / plan details.
- After-sales & service centres: Since this is a new EV from them, availability of specialised service or spares in smaller towns may be initially limited.
- A removable battery means you might need to handle battery removal/insertion — for some users it’s fine, for others it may be a bit extra work.
Pricing & What It Means for Our Town
Brother, let me break down the pricing again and what it means for us in Revelganj.
- Ex-showroom (BaaS): Go – ₹ 59,490; Plus – ₹ 64,990.
- Ex-showroom (battery included): Go – ₹ 99,490; Plus – ₹ 1,09,990.
- On‐road prices in small towns will be higher, maybe by 5-10% (registration, local taxes, delivery etc). So for Revelganj maybe Go variant on‐road ~ ₹ 65,000-70,000 under BaaS.
- If you opt for the battery included variant, maybe ~ ₹ 1,10,000-1,20,000 on-road.
- Also check battery subscription cost: Hero says from ~ ₹ 0.96 per km under BaaS for battery rental.
So if you are budget conscious, and your daily commute is modest, the Go variant with BaaS looks very attractive.

Who Is It For? & Should You Buy It?
So friends, who should consider the Vida VX2?
- If you commute in the city (10-30 km per day) and want to go electric without spending huge amounts of money,
- If you don’t have dedicated petrol costs, and want lower running costs.
- If you have the option to charge at home (where you park) or at least safely, a removable battery helps.
- If you like the tech features and want a modern look with many colours.
And when should you hold off?
- If you ride long distances daily (50-80 km+ each day) and need a high range & fast charging network. Then maybe a higher segment EV could suit.
- If you live in an area where service / charging support is weak.
- If the budget is very tight and you are okay with a simpler petrol scooter which may have more established service.
My verdict: If I were you, and I lived in Revelganj and had a budget say ~₹70,000 and could manage charging at home, I’d seriously consider the Vida VX2 Go. For occasional longer rides or if you anticipate bigger range needs, go for the Plus variant. But check the local service centre/support.
Final Thoughts
To wrap it up, friend:
The Hero Vida VX2 is a pretty compelling option in the electric scooter world now. It combines affordability, good features, removable battery convenience, and decent performance. Do you know it’s very special or unique? Yes — especially the removable battery and smart tech for this price.
However, practical realities in our town (charging infrastructure, service centres, and your daily usage) will decide how happy you’ll be with it. I’d suggest: visit your nearest Hero Vida dealership, ask about battery subscription details, ask for home‐charging compatibility in your home (garage/parking). Test ride, feel the build, see the service network.
If all aligns — yes, I’d say go for it. If you feel the range is tight for your needs, maybe wait for the next generation or higher variant.
If you like, I can check on-road prices specifically for Bihar / Revelganj, available colours locally, and list of service centres near you. Would you like me to do that?
