- Hero had entered into a partnership with Taiwan’s Gogoro earlier this year.
- The upcoming scooter was teased during its 10th anniversary celebrations
- The Chittoor plant houses Battery Pack Manufacturing and Testing, Vehicle End of Line Testing (EOL) and Vehicle Assembly Unit
Hero doesn’t want to be left behind in the electric race with the Indian two-wheeler manufacturer announcing that its first electric vehicle, which we think is going to be a scooter, will be launched by March 2022. Hero has also said that the electric vehicle project is in its advanced stage and will be manufactured at its plant in Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh.
Hero will be putting all of its learnings from investing in Ather Energy into its upcoming electric scooter, which was first teased during the company’s 10-year anniversary of going solo. Earlier this year, Hero also formed a strategic partnership with the Taiwan-based Gogoro Electric primarily for the latter’s battery swapping technology. It is highly likely that we will find some influence of these two companies in the Hero scooter.
The biggest challenge that lies ahead for Hero remains how it will make its electric scooter stand apart from the legion of new and premium scooters that we have witnessed this year. The likes of the Ola S1 Pro, the TVS iQube Electric, the Bajaj Chetak and even the upcoming Suzuki Burgman Electric will make some serious impact on the Indian buyer by the time the Hero e-scooter rolls out into the market. Not to forget, Honda is also quite keen and might have an electric scooter in the offing. Lastly, it will have the Ather 450X as a serious challenger. 2022 is surely going to be one hell of a ride.
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 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.
