Presently, the Vida sub-brand comprises the V1 electric scooter which comes with a detachable battery pack for the Indian market.
Hero MotoCorp is targeting several international markets with the Vida Z electric scooter. “VIDA Z is a product for the global audience, resonating from Barcelona to Bogota with its rich features and styling,” said Swadesh Srivastava, Hero MotoCorp’s Chief Business Officer for Emerging Mobility.
Hero will also develop petrol engine powered high-end premium motorcycles post the introduction of Vida Z in the UK and European markets. “We will very soon launch operations in the UK and across Europe, led by our electric vehicle brand Vida.

Underpinning a modular platform, Vida Z will be offered with multiple battery packs, ranging from 2.2 kWh to 4.4 kWh. The battery will be linked to a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

A few media reports claim that Vida Z will feature several modes of charging to make it a versatile offering. In addition, it will come with a cutting-edge connectivity suite for the rider to access multiple information regarding the scooter. Design-wise, as you can see, it flaunts an LED DRL upfront while the turn indicators are mounted on the handlebar.
