BREAKING: Hero Vida e-Scooter To Get Gogoro’s Swappable Battery Tech
New e-scoot all set for market launch on October 7
[Update: The Hero Vida V1 electric scooter has been launched in India. For pricing, features and other details, take a look at the launch report.]
In a social media post, Hero MotoCorp’s sub-brand Vida has confirmed that its very first electric scooter will be getting swappable battery tech. This development has arrived a day after the electric scooter was teased for the first time.
Almost a year after having been unveiled, the Hero Vida e-scooter is all set to be launched on October 7. Hero had partnered with leading Taiwanese electric two-wheeler brand Gogoro in April 2021, and will be using the latter’s battery swapping technology. Head here for more details on the partnership.
Swappable batteries reduce the EV’s downtime compared to conventional or fast charging. In order to have an established and smooth charging infrastructure, Hero has partnered up with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). Both companies will be setting up EV chargers across the country.

While the specifications of the Hero Vida e-scooter are yet under the wraps, we do know that it will flaunt a fresh, minimalist design language which will be quite a departure from the design of Hero’s existing ICE lineup. And, in the latest teaser, the illustration of the e-scooter looks quite similar to the Gogoro S1.
Expect the Hero Vida electric scooter to come bearing a price tag of around Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom) and go up against the likes of the Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube Electric.
Vida V1 User Reviews
Full for all the people that can be buy or buying thinking that that help can be helpful that performance maintenance and feature and style and this perfect look is excellent this can be help suitable. Speed booster will be the speed of the bike. The scooty sometimes has a problem with the speed booster and balancing, so it is difficult to control the scooty from the phone, especially when checking the child feed. I can recommend this bike to people to buy this because this scooty have fairy future and can travel one city to another now this is helpful for all the people, as this bike is comfortable and best for daily use work. .
Real world mileage if you run it in eco mode, won't give you 90 km in single charge, even the v2 pro model. However since I bought, I did not spend single penny on maintenance. Other negatives: Vida has not released any software update so far over ota, don't have option to change speedometer dashboard skin, most of the features won't work in app. Keyless: should have an option for key. Should have turn indicator buzzer. You have to be cautious while washing your scooter sometime switch won't work until it gets completely dried.
Very nice performance and services quality is good I have used for 2 year and see no downgrade in performance and range if you buy vida V1 plus then you get estimate range of 80 km but if you buy vida V1 pro then you get estimate range of 100 km in eco mode . company clean 165 but the vehicle not able to give that kind of renge
I purchased vida v1Pro it's very good EV scooter & millage also very well to travel 100km.In my Scooter Charging taking time is 5hours.only one key is given to raid.2 key is required.Hero vida one changes I required that is Single soft seat Cover & Folding foot rest inside option is very good for Ev Scooter.
I am owning VidaV1 from past 1+ year. I see it is best in built quality and riding comfortability. It has good space for carrying. Very important feature which is the one help me a lot is removable battery. I moved from one rented home to other and at new home no charging facilities at basement. I can carry battery to 3rd floor and charge, with this Vida V1. Thanks for the great features.
