Design & Build Quality
The Vida VX2 sports a family-oriented, minimalist design that’s both stylish and practical. Its smooth lines, single-piece flat seat, and pillion backrest make it ideal for daily commutes. Available in seven vibrant colors—Pearl Red, Pearl Black, Mate Lime, Autumn Orange, Mate White, Metallic Grey, and Nexus Blue (Grey and Orange exclusive to Plus)—it’s a head-turner. The scooter’s sturdy steel tube frame ensures durability, while its ergonomic design offers comfort for short and medium rides on Indian roads.
Battery, Charging & Performance
The Vida VX2 comes with removable battery packs, making charging a breeze at home or work. The Go variant features a 2.2 kWh battery with a 92 km range, while the Plus variant packs a 3.4 kWh dual-battery setup for up to 142 km. With a 6 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, it delivers zippy acceleration (0–40 km/h in ~3.4–4.2 seconds).
Charging takes 3.5 hours for the Go and 5.15 hours for the Plus using a standard home charger. The Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model lowers upfront costs, with running costs as low as ₹0.96 per km. In real-world conditions, it’s smooth in city traffic and handles mild inclines well, though highway performance is modest.
Features & Smart Connectivity
The VX2 is packed with modern tech:
- 4.3-inch display: LCD (Go) or TFT (Plus) with touch functionality on higher variants.
- Riding modes: Eco and Ride (Go), plus Sport (Plus) for a punchier ride.
- Smart connectivity: Cloud integration, turn-by-turn navigation, ride analytics, and remote immobilization via a smartphone app.
- Additional perks: Anti-theft alarm, follow-me-home lights, and document storage.
The Plus variant adds Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) updates, keeping your scooter’s software fresh. A physical key slot keeps things simple, unlike the keyless V2.
Safety & Braking System
Safety is solid but variant-dependent:
- Go variant: Drum brakes on both ends for cost efficiency.
- Plus variant: Front disc with rear drum and Combined Braking System (CBS) for better control.
- Suspension: Telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock handle bumps decently.
- Tyres: 12-inch tubeless alloy wheels ensure grip and low maintenance.
The VX2’s 18-degree incline capacity makes it versatile for urban slopes, though ABS isn’t available.
Price, Variants & Booking
The Vida VX2 is designed for affordability:
- VX2 Go: ₹59,490 (with BaaS) or ₹99,490 (without BaaS)
- VX2 Plus: ₹64,990 (with BaaS) or ₹1,09,990 (without BaaS)
