The electric company Hero MotoCorp, under the mobility brand Vida, has introduced a new scooter. Expanding its Vida VX portfolio, the company has launched the VX2 Go FB model. This scooter is equipped with a 3.1 kWh battery and will be sold alongside the already available VX2 Go.
The main difference between the two models lies in the battery type: one has a removable battery, while the other has a fixed one. The new version, VX2 Go FB, comes with a fixed battery, meaning it cannot be removed for charging. However, the scooter can be charged directly via a socket.
The price of the Vida VX2 Go FB model is 1.13 lakh rupees at the showroom in New Delhi. According to Vida, the goal of launching this variant is to provide consumers with more choice by offering options with both fixed and removable batteries.
Buyers can independently choose the charging solution, usage, and scooter model. The VX2 Go FB will feature a 3.1 kWh battery and a claimed range of 128 kilometers according to the IDC cycle. It is equipped with a 6 kW electric motor mounted on a swivel mount and can reach a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
The Vida scooter supports DC fast charging. Hero claims that charging from 0 to 80 percent will take only 65 minutes. At a rate of 8 rupees per unit, charging the 3.1 kWh battery will cost less than 30 rupees. The scooter is fitted with a 4.3-inch LCD information display that supports smartphone connectivity and step-by-step navigation.
The model also includes 27.2 liters of storage space under the seat and a single seat. With the introduction of fixed battery options, the VX2 line will have five different configurations, including four battery pack variants. The smallest battery has a capacity of 2.2 kWh and provides a range of 93 kilometers, while the largest battery at 4.4 kWh offers a claimed range of 187 kilometers.
