Hero MotoCorp Partners With Zero Motorcycles For Premium Electric Bikes
The process of this alliance is in the final stages
India’s top-selling two-wheeler manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, has announced the finalisation of its partnership with Zero Motorcycles. The California-based premium e-bike maker will help Hero with its Indian electrification journey.
Hero is likely to make use of Zero’s R&D and launch premium electric two-wheelers in India at cost-effective prices that could go up against not only Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro, and Tork Kratos, but also the Ultraviolette F77. So could we look forward to an electric Karizma? We’ll find out soon enough.
This partnership could potentially also benefit Zero with its entry into the Indian EV segment. However, considering the premium products that Zero has on sale in the UK, these electric two-wheelers won’t come cheap. For reference, the Zero SR/F e-bike is priced at an equivalent of Rs 21 lakh in the UK.

Taking the partnership forward, Hero Board has approved an equity investment of up to USD 60 million in Zero Motorcycles. So an equivalent of Rs 490 crores will be invested by Hero with the purchase of Zero’s company shares.
Apart from this, Hero is all set to launch its first electric scooter under the Vida sub brand on October 7, and we also expect Hero to make an announcement about the alliance on the same day.
Vida V1 User Reviews
- Good for buying
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. .
2 - V1 Pro- Should you Buy ?
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.

1 - Best removable battery 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.
