<p>On the feature front, numerous amenities are included with the V1 Pro, such as a seven-inch touchscreen digital console with over-the-air (OTA) updates, custom mode, cruise control, boost mode, two-way throttle, and keyless entry.</p>

<h2>Hero Vida V1 Pro: Price and Competition Check</h2>

<p>Priced at Rs&nbsp;1.26 lakh (ex-showroom), the top-of-the-line Vida V1 Pro is more expensive than the V1 Plus, which costs Rs&nbsp;97,800 (ex-showroom). It is important to note that these&nbsp;price tags are&nbsp;inclusive of the subsidy.</p>

<h2>Hero Vida Electric Dirt Bike</h2>

<p>Recently, the Indian manufacturer showcased an&nbsp;electric dirt bike under the Vida brand&nbsp;at the first-ever Bharat Mobility Expo.&nbsp;Its flat seat, tall front fender, and spoked wheels on both ends—the front being larger than the rear—give it a dirt bike-esque appearance.&nbsp;Both wheels come with off-road tyres. Other elements&nbsp;include wide handlebars, a compact rear portion, a visible bash plate, and 'Vida' branding on the sides.</p>

<p>The battery pack, however, is concealed within the main frame. Disk brakes on both ends handle breaking, while chunky&nbsp;upside-down forks up&nbsp;front and a monoshock on the rear make up the dirt bike's hardware suspension arrangement. Whether or not this Hero Vida dirt bike will be offered for sale as a road-legal motorcycle is still up in the air.</p>
