I’ve been following electric scooters closely, and the new Hero Vida VX2 with 3.4 kWh Battery caught my attention the moment it launched. Vida (Hero MotoCorp) unveiled the VX2 Go 3.4 kWh variant on Nov 10–11, 2025, and dealerships started receiving stock from November 2025. In this post I’ll walk you through what’s new, how it performs, what it costs, and whether it might fit your daily commute.
What’s new in the 3.4 kWh VX2 Go
The headline is simple: Vida upgraded the VX2 Go from a single 2.2 kWh pack to a dual removable-battery system that gives a combined 3.4 kWh capacity. That means more usable energy and the flexibility to swap packs if you want.
Here are the key launch facts at a glance:
- Launch date: Nov 10–11, 2025; rollout to VIDA dealerships from Nov 2025.
- Ex-showroom price: ₹1.02 lakh for the VX2 Go 3.4 kWh when bought outright.
- Claimed real-world range: up to about 100 km on a full charge (company-claimed).
- Battery layout: dual removable batteries replacing the earlier single 2.2 kWh pack.
Specs and real-world performance
Vida didn’t change the motor or the basic VX2 architecture. The important numbers you should know are:
- Motor: roughly 6 kW (about 8.2 PS).
- Torque: about 26 Nm.
- Top speed: around 70 km/h.
Those figures make the VX2 Go 3.4 kWh a solid commuter scooter. In city use, you can expect brisk acceleration from traffic lights and enough top speed for quick highway stints where allowed. The claimed 100 km range is a company figure based on the 3.4 kWh setup. In my view, a realistic daily expectation is:
- Light city riding and Eco mode: close to the 100 km claim.
- Mixed city and highway at higher speeds: more likely 60–85 km depending on load and temperature.
Cost, BaaS option and a real example
The VX2 Go 3.4 kWh has two buying routes. You can buy the scooter outright for ₹1.02 lakh ex-showroom, or opt for Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) to reduce the upfront cost.
Under BaaS Vida reports an upfront vehicle price of roughly ₹60,000 with a battery subscription. The company has also mentioned a pay-per-km battery cost of about ₹0.90/km for subscription plans.
Let me give you a simple example so you can see how BaaS might work for you:
- Suppose you ride 30 km per working day and work 22 days a month — that’s 660 km/month.
- At ₹0.90/km for the battery service, battery cost = ₹594/month (660 × 0.90).
That battery cost looks reasonable compared with fuel for a petrol scooter. Remember to add electricity or charging fees if you top up at home, or any subscription base fee that Vida may charge. Still, for a daily commuter who wants lower upfront cash outlay, BaaS can be attractive.
Features and practicality
The VX2 Go 3.4 kWh keeps practical features that commuters care about. I like that Vida retained key VX2 traits while boosting usable battery capacity.
- Removable batteries for easy home charging or swaps.
- About 27 L under-seat storage — enough for a helmet or a small bag.
- Connected features: OTA updates, navigation, and telemetry.
- Two ride modes: Eco and Ride for flexibility between range and performance.
- Conventional telescopic forks + twin rear shocks and CBS braking for predictable handling.
This combination makes it a practical device for city riders. If you commute 40–60 km a day, the larger 3.4 kWh setup — or a well-planned swap strategy — will matter.
How the VX2 3.4 kWh stacks up: quick spec table
| Variant | Battery | Claimed Range | Motor / Torque | Price (ex-showroom) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VX2 Go (2.2 kWh) | Single 2.2 kWh | ~60–70 km | 6 kW / 26 Nm | Lower than 3.4 kWh variant |
| VX2 Go (3.4 kWh) | Dual removable 3.4 kWh | Up to ~100 km (claimed) | 6 kW / 26 Nm | ₹1.02 lakh |
| VX2 Plus | Higher-spec / larger setup | Varies — positioned above 3.4 kWh model | Similar architecture | Priced above VX2 Go |
Practical tips if you’re considering one
If you’re thinking about buying the Hero Vida VX2 with 3.4 kWh Battery, here are a few quick tips I’d follow:
- Test ride in traffic similar to your daily route. Range can vary a lot with speed and stops.
- Ask the dealer about the exact BaaS plans and any fixed monthly fees in addition to ₹0.90/km.
- Check how easy the battery swap process is at your nearest Vida dealer, and confirm charger access.
- Factor in local incentives or state subsidies which can lower the effective on-road price in some states.

Final Thoughts
In short, the Hero Vida VX2 with 3.4 kWh Battery is a smart evolution of the VX2 Go line. Vida kept the proven motor and packaging, added flexibility with a dual removable-battery system, and pushed claimed range to about 100 km. The ex-showroom price of ₹1.02 lakh for the full-buy option is straightforward. If you want a lower upfront bill, the BaaS route with an approximate vehicle cost of ₹60,000 and a pay-per-km battery plan (reported at around ₹0.90/km) gives a clear alternative.
For many city commuters, this new variant will hit the right balance between range, everyday practicality, and modern connected features. If you’d like, I can pull Hero/VIDA’s official press release for exact quotes, or do a short comparison with close rivals like Ather or TVS to see how value and range line up.
