Hero has introduced the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) model to make the electric scooter financially enticing for buyers
In this post, we take a look at the 5 key highlights of the new Hero Vida VX2. Over the past few years, electric mobility has seen rapid and exponential growth. This trend holds true across both the passenger vehicle and two-wheeler categories. Numerous new entrants have emerged to tap into this expanding market. As a result, established brands like Hero have launched dedicated electric scooter divisions such as VIDA. With the VIDA VX2, buyers have the option to either purchase the battery outright or subscribe to a monthly rental under the BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) model. Let us take a look at the major highlights of the new EV.
5 Key Highlights of the New Hero Vida VX2
- Price – I feel the most attractive part of the electric scooter is its pricing due to the BaaS model. With BaaS, the Vida VX2 Go retails for an attractive Rs 59,490, while the VX2 Plus starts at just Rs 64,990. Without BaaS, these prices jump to Rs 99,490 and Rs 109,990, respectively. These make things really flexible for the buyers.
- Removable Batteries – Arguably, the biggest practical aspect of the Vida VX2 Plus is the option to remove the batteries physically without any fuss. This enables the buyers to take these home and charge them easily. This is one trend that is gaining popularity among many two-wheeler companies.
- Storage Space – Yet another key USP of this electric scooter is the massive storage compartments on offer. There is a 5-litre space at the front under the handle bar, while the VX2 Plus gets a 27.2-litre boot space and the VX2 Go offers 33 litres of storage compartment at the rear. These are some healthy figures.
- TFT Display – We know that new-age two-wheeler buyers want the latest tech and connectivity features in their automobiles. The Hero Vida VX2 Plus offers a 4.3-inch TFT display with crisp graphics and all the necessary information. The buyers can avail of the convenience of connected tech. This also lends it a modern appeal.
- Range – Finally, range is the most critical part of any EV. Hero Vida VX2 offers a claimed IDC range of 144 km on a single charge, which means a range of around 100 km in the real world. That is a healthy figure, particularly for an electric two-wheeler at this price point. These are the top 5 highlights of the new Hero Vida VX2.
