Key Highlights
- Design registration drawings for the Zero Lompico have been revealed, confirming it shares its mechanical platform with the upcoming Hero Vida VxZ.
- The two bikes use identical frames, motors, batteries, wheels, brakes, and suspension.
- No launch date or pricing has been confirmed for either model.
Two brands. One platform. Two completely different bikes. That is the story of the Zero Lompico and the Hero Vida VxZ, and the newly revealed design registration drawings make it official.
Design drawings filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office confirm what had been suspected since EICMA 2025: the Zero Lompico is mechanically identical to the upcoming Hero Vida VxZ. The same frame, the same motor, the same battery, the same wheels, brakes, and suspension. Built from the same bones. But shaped into something completely different.
The Zero Lompico: Unlike Anything Else
The Lompico is the more radical of the two. Angular bodywork panels, a floating rear end, and a distinctive full-LED light signature give it a futuristic look that breaks sharply from Zero’s previous functional aesthetic. It looks like something designed to turn heads first and explain itself later.
Zero filed its design patent with the EUIPO on April 30, 2026, registered May 7. A separate trademark application for the name “Zero SF” was filed in the US in June 2025, which strongly suggests the production model will carry that name rather than Lompico.
The powertrain is an 8.8 kWh battery producing approximately 30 kW (41 hp) of peak power. Fast charging gets the battery to 80 percent in under an hour. The operating system is Zero’s new Cypher 4 platform, which brings adaptive performance, predictive diagnostics, and remote monitoring via a companion app.
The Vida VxZ: Conventional on the Outside, Capable Underneath
The Hero Vida VxZ takes the opposite approach. Where the Zero is a design statement, the VxZ presents a more conventional, road-friendly silhouette. The two bikes will emerge from the same factory in India, which is the result of Hero MotoCorp’s strategic investment in Zero Motorcycles.
Both are positioned in the 400cc-equivalent electric segment. At approximately 41 hp, the platform punches well above the typical 125cc electric bikes currently sold in India.
Why It Matters for India
The Hero Vida VxZ will be the highest-performance model in Hero’s Vida EV lineup. It will also be one of the most powerful electric motorcycles available in India at its likely price point. The Zero SF version, if it reaches India, will offer a premium, design-forward alternative on the same hardware.
