Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter to Break Cover on July 1 – Launch Details Inside.

Hey friends, Hero MotoCorp has now officially confirmed that it will launch its new Vida Z Electric Scooter in India on July 1, 2025, without making its fans wait any longer, and to further excite them.

It is being learned that this will be the most affordable electric scooter of Hero till now. This launch can be crucial for Hero Company, as its heavy rivals, TVS and Bajaj, have already taken the lead in the electric market.

Now Hero is trying to cover that market gap through Vida Z and strengthen its position in the EV segment.

Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter Specs & Platform: Modular Design and Removable Battery Setup.

It is learnt that the Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter will be based on a modular platform that will support battery options ranging from 2.2 kWh to 4.4 kWh. Hero has used a permanent magnet synchronous motor in it, which delivers smooth and efficient performance.

Now let’s take a look at its design. Hero has designed this scooter for simple and family-oriented buyers, unlike Hero’s earlier flashy EVs.

The most special and heart-touching feature of this scooter is the Vida Z’s removable battery system, which makes it unique from the fixed battery models in the market.

Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter Expected Price: Hero Vida Z less than ₹70,000.

If we talk about its price, then the pricing of the Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter is expected to be around ₹1 lakh, but the management had hinted in the investors’ call that the company will launch two new affordable products in July, whose price will be less than ₹70,000.

Hero is playing a good game, and by playing this game, it is targeting those who could not buy an EVS scooter due to the high price; now they will also buy the scooter of their choice at this price point. Vida Z will also be cheaper than Hero’s Vida V2 line-up, whose starting price is ₹96,000.

Battery Technology: Advantage of Removable Battery.

While all the scooters launched so far from brands like Ola, TVS, and Bajaj use fixed battery systems, Hero has given a unique feature with the launch of the Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter, which is creating a different identity for Hero in the market.

The advantage of removable batteries is that you can charge them at any standard plug point. Ola has filed a patent on this concept, but Hero is already delivering this feature in mainstream models.

Performance & Range Comparison.

The powertrain and battery options of the Vida Z Electric Scooter will be customised as per its modular setup. This means that different variants will have different battery sizes and ranges:

• V2 Lite: 2.2kWh battery, 94km range, ₹96,000
• V2 Plus: 3.44kWh battery, 143km range, ₹1.15 lakh
• V2 Pro: 3.94kWh battery, 165km range, ₹1.35 lakh

Those who have used Hero bikes and scooters already know that Hero’s focus has always been on practical usability and service accessibility, the benefits of which will be seen in the Vida Z and every Hero bike and scooter coming in the future.

Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter Market Share Battle: Hero’s Attempt to Come Back.

Hero MotoCorp is currently in the 5th position in the list of India’s EV market. But as per VAHAN data for May 2025, they registered 7,164 Vida units, which is a 191% growth on a year-on-year basis. Hero also sold 6,123 Vida units in April, which makes up a 7% monthly share.

In Comparison:

• TVS iQube sold 19,736 units in May
• Bajaj Chetak took 21.7% share with 21,770 units
• Ola came in at 18.4% with just 18,499 units

If we talk about Hero, Hero entered the EV segment late because there was a family trademark dispute going on. In 2010, due to an agreement between the Munjal family.

Hero MotoCorp could not use the ‘Hero’ name for EVs. After court arbitration, they created the Vida brand, whose first model was launched in 2022.

Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter Competitor Showdown: Vida Z vs Ola, TVS, and Bajaj.

Some scooters are performing very well in the market right now, so the biggest challenge for the Hero Vida Z Electric Scooter will be to compete with models like Ola S1X, Bajaj Chetak 2903, and TVS iQube. A look at the competitors:

• TVS iQube 2.2 kWh – ₹94,434, 75km/h top speed, 94km range, 2-hour fast charging
• Bajaj Chetak 2903 – ₹99,998, 123km range, 2.9 kWh battery, traditional design
• Ola S1X Range – ₹79,999 to ₹99,999, top speeds 101-123km/h, removable battery, future-ready

While Ola does not yet offer a removable battery, Hero is already offering this feature, which gives it an edge.

Expansion Plans: From India to Europe.

Hero has so far sold 48,673 Vida units in FY2025, which is a 175% jump compared to last year. The company now targets to increase production from 7,000 to 13,000–15,000 units/month.

Along with this, Hero will also launch its electric scooters in European markets like the UK, France, Spain, and Italy in the second half of 2025.

This means that Hero is moving ahead with an aggressive strategy in the EV space, not just in India but also globally.

Dealer & Charging Network: Hero’s Strong Backend Support.

Hero’s current fast-charging network has reached 3,100 stations across 250 cities, where Hero has partnered with Ather Energy.

The dealer network also extends to 203 locations and 116 cities, which gives a big advantage in after-sales and service reliability, especially for those who are not satisfied with the service model of new companies like Ola.

Will Vida Z be a Game Changer?

The Hero Vida Z electric scooter is a perfect mix of affordability, removable battery tech, and trusted brand service. The July 1 launch could be a defining moment for Hero to establish its foothold in the EV segment.

Competitors like TVS and Bajaj are already in the lead, but if Hero launches the Vida Z Electric Scooter with aggressive pricing and wide availability, then definitely this scooter can become a strong competition for Ola, Bajaj, and TVS.
