TOTAL VICTORY OF ELECTRIC OVER PETROL

- VIKRAM CHAUDHARY

THE VX2 is the first electric scooter in which I didn't get range anxiety. Not because it's got a long range, but because of its removable battery that I could charge even at a teashop in case it ran out of power.

What is it?

It's the third electric scooter by Vida—Hero MotoCorp's EV arm—and is available in two variants.

VX2 Plus: Gets two 1.7-kWh removable batteries (total 3.4 kWh).

VX2 Go: Gets a single 2.2-kWh removable battery.

Vida had earlier launched the V1 (now discontinued), and the V2.

How's the design?

It has an uncluttered design, and its road presence similar to TVS iQube and Ather Rizta. All controls and switchgear are ergonomically placed, and the handlebar and display units blend in seamlessly.

There's a small storage space under the handlebars, and under-seat storage can take a big helmet. The display is colourful, and there's a dedicated app for the scooter.

How does it ride?
