Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has registered its best-ever electric scooter monthly sales in July 2025. As per the retail statistics available on the Vahan portal (as of August 1, 2025), the company has delivered 10,489 Vida e-scooters to customers, surpassing the 10,000-unit monthly sales mark for the first time since it entered the electric two-wheeler industry in October 2022.
Hero Vida's July 2025 sales, which are a 107% year-on-year increase (July 2024: 5,067 units), beat the company's previous monthly best of 8,040 Vidas in March 2025 by a handsome margin of 2,449 units. And have helped Hero MotoCorp achieve a monthly 10% market share for the first time from the 102,865 electric two-wheelers retailed last month.
What’s more, CY2025 is turning out to be a record year for Hero MotoCorp’s EV business. From the 1,626 units sold in January this year to the 10,489 units in July, which is a 545% jump over seven months, Hero MotoCorp is witnessing strong demand led by two new products.
The first of these is the new Vida V2 launched in December 2024. The Vida 2 is essentially an evolution of the V1 range that Hero MotoCorp began its electric mobility journey around three years ago. The Vida V2 is available in three variants: Lite (Rs 74,000), Plus (Rs 92,800) and Pro (Rs 120,300). The most affordable of the lot – the V2 Lite – comes with a small 2.2kWh battery pack that has a claimed 94km IDC range.
What has strongly accelerated Hero Vida retail sales last month is the launch of the new Vida VX2 on July 1 at an e-2W-rival-worrying price of Rs 59,490 for the V2X Go under the Battery-as-a-Service option (and Rs 99,440 without BaaS), and the V2X Plus at Rs 64,990 with BaaS and Rs 109,990 without it. That’s a difference of Rs 40,000 and Rs 45,000 for the VX2 Go and Plus respectively.
Eight days after the VX2's launch, on July 9, in a strategic move designed to draw buyers, Hero MotoCorp slashed prices – as per the company website, the VX2 Go now costs Rs 44,990 and the VX2 Plus Rs 57,990 with the BaaS option, which makes them among the most affordable e-scooters in India.
What differentiates the VX2 Go from the Plus is the removable battery capacity – while the Go has a single battery with 2.2kWh and 92km range, the Plus has two batteries with 3.4kWh which deliver 142km range, similar to the Vida V2 Pro. The removable batteries can be charged directly inside the e-scooter or removed and charged indoors. The VX2 can also be juiced up at the 4,000-strong Ather Grid fast charging network across India.
The VX2’s electric motor develops the same 6kW peak power and 3.9 continuous power and 25 Nm torque as its Vida V2 sibling. While the VX2 Plus goes from 0-40kph in 3.1sec and has a top speed of 80kph, the Go variant accelerates from 0-40kph in 4.2sec and has a top speed of 70kph.
The Vida brand’s stellar performance since March 2025 has meant that cumulative seven-month retails for the year to date at 43,885 units have already surpassed the 43,710 Vida e-scooters sold in CY2024, when Hero MotoCorp had a 4% market share.
For the January-July 2025 period, the company’s e-2W market share stands at 6 percent. Given the current strong pace of monthly sales, and five months to go for CY2025 to end, it can be expected that Hero MotoCorp will get close to or even surpass the 100,000-units annual sales milestone for the first time.
