Hero's Vida electric scooter brand is reportedly launching a more affordable V2 variant, the 'Z'. Spotted during testing, it features design tweaks and is expected to have a smaller battery and fewer features to lower the price.
Almost a few months ago, Vida, Hero's electric scooter brand, introduced the V2 in three variants: Light, Plus, and Pro. New reports indicate that the company is now expanding the V2's portfolio. The test image of the updated Z version has been recorded on camera. It is expected to be a more affordable variant.
Its main differences are the slightly modified tail lights and the updated front apron without extensions. This gives it a very clean look. It comes in a single-tone body color. The side appearance has also been updated using a new single-piece tubular grab rail and a single-piece seat. It is expected to have a battery pack equivalent to the basic Light variant. Information also suggests that some features will be lost in order to make it available at a more affordable price.
