Hero MotoCorp has finally begun deliveries of its first electric scooter, the Vida V1. The first e-scooter was delivered by the Vida Experience Centre located at Vittal Mallya Road in Bangalore.
For those who aren’t aware, the Hero Vida V1 is available in two trims– V1 Plus and V1 Pro, priced at Rs 1,35,705 and Rs 1,46,880 (on-road Delhi). Compared to its key rivals like the Ola S1, TVS iQube and Ather 450X, the Vida V1 is slightly overpriced. However, what’s more disappointing is that the scooter is currently limited to only Bengaluru, Jaipur and Delhi.
