New Hero Vida Electric Scooters Set for July 1 India Launch; Here's All You Need To Know

Hero MotoCorp is gearing up to expand its electric mobility portfolio with the launch of new Vida electric scooters in India on July 1. While official details remain limited, the upcoming models are expected to build on the brand’s existing EV platform with updated styling, features, and performance enhancements. Positioned to strengthen Hero’s presence in the fast-growing electric two-wheeler segment, the new Vida offerings are likely to target urban commuters looking for efficient and eco-friendly mobility. The launch could also bring competitive pricing and smart connectivity features aimed at younger buyers.

Upcoming Hero Vida Scooters: What We Know So Far

Hero MotoCorp has yet to formally showcase its upcoming electric scooters, but insights from leaked design patents and heavily camouflaged test vehicles offer a glimpse into what’s coming. The new models are expected to carry forward the general silhouette of the Vida V1, though redesigned with simplification in mind to reduce costs. Anticipate a more restrained front section, basic lighting architecture, and a reduced selection of colour schemes. Cost-conscious revisions may also extend to elements like the grab handle and side panels, which are likely to adopt a no-frills aesthetic. Onboard features are expected to include essentials such as regenerative braking, full LED lighting, digital instrumentation, and smartphone-based connectivity.

Currently, the Vida range is offered with 2.2kWh, 3.4kWh, and 3.9kWh battery packs. The forthcoming Vida Z variant, however, is expected to feature a fixed battery setup rather than the swappable units seen on the V1. This battery will likely be smaller in capacity, delivering an estimated range of up to 90 km. The electric motor, too, is expected to be slightly less powerful, with an output projected below 5.36bhp. Hero’s present EV lineup includes the V2 Lite, V2 Plus, and V2 Pro, but the upcoming models will likely sit below these in the pecking order, targeting cost-conscious buyers and widening the brand’s market reach.

While prices for the existing Vida scooters range from Rs 74,000 to Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom), the new offerings are expected to arrive with an even more accessible price tag.

Hero MotoCorp Sales Figures: April 2025 

Hero MotoCorp saw a notable decline in its overall two-wheeler performance in April 2025. The company dispatched approximately 3.05 lakh units during the month, reflecting a sharp 42.76% drop compared to 5.34 lakh units in April 2024. The month-on-month numbers were also discouraging, with March 2025 reporting around 5.50 lakh units – a 44.43% decrease. However, VAHAN data paints a slightly different picture, recording 5.05 lakh internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle registrations under Hero’s name for the same period. On the domestic front, sales stood at over 2.88 lakh units – a 43.79% year-on-year decline and 43.44% lower than the previous month.

Motorcycles remained the brand’s volume mainstay, though sales dropped to 2.86 lakh units, down 42.38% YoY and 43.53% MoM. Scooter volumes fell even more sharply to 19,317 units, representing a 47.85% drop from April 2024 and a 55.04% dip from March 2025. Exports were also impacted, slipping to 16,882 units – 16.79% below last year’s figure and 57.28% lower than the previous month.

In contrast to the struggling ICE segment, Hero’s electric division showed promise. The VIDA V2 electric scooter achieved 7,116 retail units in April 2025, with VAHAN registering 6,123 units. This upward trend suggests growing traction for Hero’s EV portfolio amid an otherwise subdued market.
