Hero MotoCorp’s first e-scooter to be launched on October 7

The Vida e-scooter is expected to be priced around Rs. 1 lakh.

Hero MotoCorp has announced that it will launch its first electric scooter under the 'Vida' sub-brand on October 7, 2022.

Hero MotoCorp unveiled its new EV sub-brand in March this year. However, the company had given us a glimpse of its upcoming e-scooter in 2021 itself. The prototype version was revealed as part of the brand’s 10th-anniversary celebrations.

Details of the new Vida e-scooter are scarce, but it has been speculated that it could use a hub motor instead of the mid-mounted motor showcased on the prototype. The scooter could be aimed at the mass market, with focus on durability and range instead of outright performance.

The Vida e-scooter is expected to be priced around Rs. 1 lakh and could compete with the likes of the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.
