Hero Vida VX2: Design and Features
The VX2 is a more family-centric offering with a flatter, more spacious, and continuous seat that stretches from front to back, making it easier for both rider and passenger to have a comfortable experience. It also comes with a backrest for the pillion.
The electric scooter borrows some lighting parts, such as headlight and taillight, from the V2, but stands out with a storage option in the form of a front frunk made of plastic. As for the colours, the EV offers seven options.
