Key highlights
- Vida scooters register over 1 lakh sales in a single year, marking the brand’s strongest performance yet.
- Hero’s EV arm expands its presence across major cities with improved availability and faster deliveries.
- Demand spikes after pricing updates, wider charging access and stronger word-of-mouth among commuters.
Hero MotoCorp’s electric arm, Vida, has hit a major milestone by crossing 1 lakh scooter sales in a year for the first time. The uptick signals strong acceptance for the brand’s updated portfolio, which now appeals to buyers who want an EV that feels familiar, practical and easy to live with. It’s a big moment not just for Vida, but for Hero, which has been working hard to build a serious EV footprint.
Reason for sales uptick
The surge in demand follows key updates in pricing, service reach and charging access. Vida expanded to more cities this year, added new touchpoints and improved its delivery timelines. These steps have boosted walk-ins and allowed more customers to actually get the scooter they booked, something that still feels like a luxury in the EV world.
Customers also seem to approve of Vida’s real-world range and its refined ride quality. Many buyers moved from ICE scooters and wanted something that didn’t need a PhD in EV technology to operate. Vida delivered that simplicity. The battery swapping-friendly design and Hero’s wide service network helped seal the deal.
EV shift
The sales growth also reflects a broader shift in the Indian EV market. Buyers who once hesitated about range, charging and reliability now have enough real-world examples to trust the transition. Vida has benefited from this momentum and has positioned itself as the “safe bet” for people taking their first step into electric mobility.
This 1 lakh annual sales mark puts the brand on a strong path for next year. Hero’s EV strategy now looks more confident, and the company is expected to refresh the Vida lineup soon with more features, better performance and wider availability. If the market keeps the same pace, Vida could be one of the main names driving India’s mass adoption of EV scooters.
