Hero Vida Ubex Electric Motorcycle Design Patented in India

The Vida VXZ features a tubular trellis frame and upside-down front forks, while the Ubex has a naked motorcycle layout with telescopic forks. The VXZ is also developed in collaboration with Zero Motorcycles, focusing on a separate platform, whereas the Ubex appears to follow a more traditional design. The VXZ is aimed at higher performance, while the Ubex targets urban mobility.

The Vida VX2 will feature a physical key slot, drum brakes, and is expected to come with two battery options (2.2 kWh and 3.4 kWh). It aims to provide an affordable entry-level electric scooter experience, with a range exceeding 100 km on a full charge. The scooter will also introduce a Battery-as-a-Service model for cost-effective ownership.

The Vida VX2 is expected to offer a range of over 100 km on a full charge. This makes it competitive in the affordable electric scooter segment, targeting budget-conscious consumers. Its battery options and lightweight design contribute to this anticipated range, aligning with the growing demand for practical urban mobility solutions.

The Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model allows customers to subscribe to battery usage instead of purchasing it outright. This reduces the initial cost of ownership and offers flexible payment plans tailored to individual usage. Customers can finance the scooter chassis and battery separately, making electric vehicles more accessible to a broader audience.

Hero MotoCorp's Vida brand has collaborated with Zero Motorcycles for the Vida VXZ, which leverages Zero's expertise in electric motorcycle design. This partnership allows Hero to develop high-performance electric models while maintaining a unique design language separate from existing Zero models, enhancing their offerings in the electric vehicle market.
