Hero MotoCorp on July 1 launched its most affordable electric scooter, Vida VX2, which comes undercutting the price of even the most affordable iPhone in the market. While the most affordable phone from Apple, the iPhone 16e, is priced at ₹59,900, the Vida VX2 can be purchased at ₹59,490 (ex-showroom). The electric scooter is available in two different variants and is on offer with a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) scheme.

With the BaaS scheme, the Vida VX2 Go, the base variant of the electric scooter, can be purchased at ₹59,490 (ex-showroom), while without the battery subscription plan, it costs ₹99,490 (ex-showroom). The top variant of the Vida VX2, christened as VX2 Plus, comes priced at ₹64,990 (ex-showroom), with the BaaS scheme and ₹109,990 (ex-showroom), without the subscription plan. The consumers who will opt for the BaaS scheme will have to pay ₹0.96 per kilometre for using the battery.

The BaaS scheme makes the Vida VX2 electric scooter significantly affordable than rivals such as Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and Ola S1 Air. Even the Ola S1 Z, which comes priced from ₹59,999 (ex-showroom), is yet to hit the roads. The VX2 sits under the V2 in Vida's product lineup.

Powering the top-spec Vida VX2 Plus is a 3.4 kWh dual removable battery pack, which promises up to 142 kilometres of range on a full charge. This variant is capable of running at a top speed of 80 kmph. This trim is capable of accelerating 0-40 kmph in 3.1 seconds.
