The company expects that the two-wheeler will attract consumers to its new brand and earn its place in the growing EV market.
Hero Vida: Hero MotoCorp is all set to launch its first electric scooter under the new sub-brand Vida today. The e-scooter’s launch was originally scheduled for July 2022 but it was delayed by the company multiple times. The two-wheeler is set to be unveiled at its Global Centre for Innovation and Technology in Jaipur.
The e-scooter will likely be offered in two variants: the Vida V1 Plus and Vida V1 Pro. It is speculated that Hero Vida will carry a price tag of around Rs 1 lakh and compete against rival brands such as Ola S1, Ather 450X, TVS iQube, Okinawa Okhi-90 and more.
Hero MotoCorp is launching its first e-scooter in the Indian market just ahead of the festival and also at a time when demand is robust. The company expects that the two-wheeler will attract consumers to its new brand and earn its place in the growing EV market.
