Hero MotoCorp has, for the first time since entering the electric two-wheeler market over three years ago, sold 100,000 units in a calendar year, confirming Autocar Professional’s forecast of the same in early September. As per the latest retail sales numbers on the Vahan portal, between January 1 and December 5, a total of 100,383 Vida e-scooters were delivered to customers. Also, total sales of Hero Vida e-scooters have crossed 150,000 units since launch in October 2022.
While total sales since the company’s e-2W market entry in November 2022 till December 2024 were 55,033 units, the first 11 months and five days of CY2025 have seen deliveries of 100,383 units or 65% of total sales of 155,416 Vida e-scooters to date.
While CY2025 opened on a tepid note with 1,626 units in January, monthly sales crossed 6,000 units for four straight months (March-June) and then crossed the 10,000-units mark for the first time in July (10,548 units) and maintained that momentum for five straight months.
October (16,017 units) saw the highest number of Hero Vidas sold in the domestic market (see 11-month data table below). This month’s first five days have seen registrations of 1,984 e-scooters for Hero MotoCorp.
The company’s robust performance in a competitive market is amply reflected in the monthly Top 10 e-2W OEM listing where it has been a consistent entry this year. Ranked No. 7 in January, Hero MotoCorp rose to sixth in February, maintained its No. 5 position in March, April, May, June, July, August, September, and October and then wrested No. 4 rank from Ola Electric in November.
Hero MotoCorp has achieved the 100,000-unit annual sales milestone for the first time since it launched the Vida brand in October 2022.
HERO VIDA’S CURRENT MARKET SHARE: 8%
Hero MotoCorp’s 100,383 units in this year to date (up 135% YoY) give it a e-2W market share of 8% from the 1.19 million electric two-wheelers sold in India. The four OEMs ahead of it are market leader TVS (278,596 units, 23% share), Bajaj Auto (254,629 Chetaks, 21% share), Ola Electric (191,384 units, 16% share), and Ather Energy (186,664 units, 15% share). These are the only five OEMs from the 230 players to have sold over 100,000 units each in the current calendar year. The next highest sales belong to No. 5 OEM, Greaves Electric Mobility (52,441 units).
The launch of the VX2 model in July 2025 has delivered accelerated growth for the Hero Vida brand which also has the V2 model in its portfolio.
The strong growth for Hero MotoCorp is the result of two new products, the Vida V2 launched in December 2024 and the Vida VX2 which was introduced in July 2025. The V2 is essentially an evolution of the V1 range that the company began its e-mobility journey a little over three years ago. The Vida V2 with 3.4 kWh battery is available in two variants: Plus (Rs 104,800, 143km range, 85kph top speed) and Pro (Rs 140,300, 165km range, 90kph top speed).
The growth accelerator though has been the new Vida VX2 in July. The base VX2 Go variant, which has a starting price of Rs 73,850, sees its cost sticker drop to an e-2W-rival-worrying price of Rs 44,990 under the Battery-as-a-Service option. The V2X Plus costs Rs 57,990 with BaaS and Rs 94,800 without it.
What differentiates the VX2 Go from the Plus is the removable battery capacity – while the Go has a single removable 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 4,600 fast-charging stations including 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.
On November 10, Hero MotoCorp expanded the VX2 Go portfolio with a new 3.4kWh battery variant priced at Rs 84,800 (ex-showroom) and Rs 60,000 with the BaaS option. Previously, the VX2 Go was offered only with a 2.2kWh battery, while the larger 3.4kWh unit was exclusive to the VX2 Plus. While the new 3.4kWh variant with dual removable battery system shares its features and hardware with the smaller-capacity version, it delivers a real-world range of 100km on a single charge – 36km more than the 64km range of the smaller-battery version.
