Hero MotoCorp has relaunched the Vida V1 Plus electric scooter at an attractive price of Rs 97,800 in Delhi. This move comes after the scooter was initially launched alongside the V1 Pro but was discontinued a few months later. The V1 Plus is now back in the market, offering a more budget-friendly option for electric scooter enthusiasts.
Key Features and Performance
The Vida V1 Plus is equipped with a 3.44kWh lithium-ion battery pack, allowing it to reach a top speed of 80 km/h. It boasts a real-world range of 100 km on a single charge, making it suitable for daily commutes. The scooter can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and offers three riding modes: Eco, Ride, and Sport, catering to different riding preferences.
Both the V1 Plus and the V1 Pro share the same motor, which delivers a continuous power output of 3.9 kW, a peak power of 6 kW, and a maximum torque of 25 Nm. The V1 Plus comes with two 1.72kWh removable batteries that can be charged from 0 to 80 percent in approximately 5 hours and 15 minutes.

The Vida V1 Plus shares several features with its sibling, the V1 Pro. It boasts a 7-inch TFT dash with auto dark and light mode, enhancing visibility under different lighting conditions. The scooter is equipped with connected features such as turn-by-turn navigation and a vehicle diagnostics tracker, accessible through a dedicated application.
Other notable features include all-LED lighting for better visibility, cruise control for comfortable long rides, keyless entry for convenience, and electronic seat and handle lock for added security.
