Hero Vida V1 Pro gets a Rs. 31,500 instant discount on Amazon along with Rs. 19,800 off as part of EV policy in New Delhi
Hero MotoCorp is offering an attractive discount deal for its first electric scooter in India, the Vida V1, and resultantly, it can be bought for a price tag of just Rs. 94,600 in New Delhi (ex-showroom). With an offer of Rs. 31,500 on Amazon and Rs. 19,800 subsidy for Delhi residents by the state government, the Hero Vida V1 makes for a no-brainer choice considering the equipment level it packs and the performance.
The Hero Vida V1 competes against the Ola S1 series, Ather 450 series, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak. It was introduced at a starting price of Rs. 1.45 lakh (ex-showroom) when it was launched in October 2022 across Plus and Pro variants. Back in May 2023, the prices were slashed by up to Rs. 25,000 and thus the total savings are close to Rs. 75,000 compared to its launch price. It is currently available only in the Pro trim.
The equipment list of the Hero Vida V1 includes a seven-inch touchscreen display with Bluetooth connectivity, 4G capability and Wi-Fi, cruise control, a two-way throttle system, keyless control and SOS alert amongst other features. Hero claims that the Vida V1 has a real-world riding range of 110 km on a single charge and it has a top speed of 80 kmph.
It is claimed to accelerate from zero to 40 kmph in 3.2 seconds. Courtesy of its DC fast charging capabilities, the Hero Vida V1 can replenish from zero to 80 per cent in less than 65 minutes. It is available in five colour schemes: White, Orange, Red, Cyan and Matte Black.
The electric scooter boasts a sleek design philosophy with sharp LED turn signals, a short black flyscreen, an LED headlamp with LED Daytime Running Lights, a split seat finished in black seat colour, and two-tone alloy wheels at the front and the rear.
The e-scooter comes with four ride modes – Eco, Ride, Sport, and a custom mode. At the 2023 EICMA show in Milan, Hero will unveil three electric scooters and one of them will be a coupe variant of the Vida V1. An all-new 160 cc petrol scooter is making its global debut to take on Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SXR 160.
