The VIDA V2 range comprising three variants—V2 Lite, V2 Plus, and V2 Pro—aims to offer a balance of affordability, advanced technology and convenience for urban commuters. The VIDA V2 series introduces Hero’s removable battery technology available in three configurations: 2.2 kWh for the V2 Lite, 3.44 kWh for the V2 Plus, and 3.94 kWh for the V2 Pro.
These batteries are IP-67-rated for durability and can be charged at home, reaching 80% capacity in under six hours.

The scooters boast a top speed of 90 kmph and accelerate from 0 to 40 kmph in just 2.9 seconds (for the V2 Pro).
The VIDA V2 is equipped with advanced features designed for convenience and functionality. A 7-inch TFT touchscreen offers access to essential information such as turn-by-turn navigation, vehicle telematics, and battery state of charge (SoC). Keyless entry, cruise control, and advanced regenerative braking technology enhance the riding experience. Four riding modes—Eco, Ride, Sport, and Custom—allow riders to adapt the scooter’s performance to their preferences, with Custom mode available exclusively on the V2 Pro.
The VIDA V2 features a contemporary aesthetic engineered for superior handling and comfort. Two colour options—Matte Nexus Blue-Grey and Glossy Sports Red—add to its appeal. The suspension is tuned to deliver a stable and smooth ride, ensuring both practicality and rider satisfaction.
