Vida VX2
The Vida VX2 is an electric scooter built for city riders on a budget, priced from Rs 99,490 ex-showroom for the entry 2.2 kWh Go and going up to Rs 1,50,990 for the 4.4 kWh Plus that claims a class-leading 187 km ARAI (IDC) range. It is aimed at first-time EV buyers who mostly ride within city limits, want the flexibility of removable batteries they can charge off any home socket, and would rather not commit to a full-size scooter's price tag. No independently tested real-world range exists for the VX2 yet, so every range figure here is the manufacturer's ARAI/IDC-certified claim, not a road-tested number.
Is the Vida VX2 right for you?
Best for
- Short daily city commutes under 60 km, especially on the entry Go 2.2 kWh at Rs 99,490
- Riders who want to charge indoors on a normal socket via removable, portable IP67 battery packs instead of installing a home charger
- Buyers who want to lower the upfront price further using Vida's Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan and are fine paying a monthly battery fee in exchange
- Anyone who values quick top-ups over a long full charge - the 3.4 kWh and 4.4 kWh packs support DC fast charging to 0-80% in about an hour at public stations
Think twice if
- Highway or high-speed riders - Go variants are capped at 70 kmph, adequate for city roads but not open highways
- Buyers who need a verified real-world range figure - only ARAI/IDC numbers are available, and these typically run higher than what you'll see in daily riding
- Anyone expecting a quick full home charge on the bigger packs - even the fast-charge-capable 3.4/4.4 kWh batteries still take around 5 hours for a complete AC charge at home
- Buyers who want to avoid recurring costs - the BaaS option that cuts the sticker price adds an ongoing monthly battery charge instead

Charging and living with it
Charging: Bundled portable AC charger (single/removable pack); approx 4.5 hr full charge. Public fast-charge network access.. Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. Living with the VX2 means charging removable IP67 battery packs on a normal home socket rather than installing a wall charger, but don't expect the DC fast-charging speed to carry over to home charging - even the fast-charge-capable 3.4/4.4 kWh packs take close to 5 hours for a full AC charge at home.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the Vida VX2 VX2 Go 2.2 kWh costs about ₹320/month to run versus ₹2,800/month for a comparable petrol scooter, a saving of ₹30,174/year at July 2026 prices.
| Monthly | Annual | 5-year | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | ₹2,800 | ₹34,067 | ₹1,70,335 |
| EV | ₹320 | ₹3,893 | ₹19,465 |
| You save | ₹2,480 | ₹30,174 | ₹1,50,870 |
Assumes 45 km/l petrol, 30 km/kWh EV, ₹105/l petrol and ₹8/kWh electricity, 40 km/day. Figures as of July 2026.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Vida VX2?
Vida has not published an independently tested real-world range for the VX2. The only figures available are ARAI/IDC-certified: 93 km on the base 2.2 kWh Go, 142-146 km on the 3.4 kWh Go/Plus variants, and 187 km on the top 4.4 kWh Plus. Expect real-world range to come in lower than these IDC numbers in daily riding conditions.
How long does the Vida VX2 take to charge?
It depends on the variant and method. The base 2.2 kWh pack takes roughly 3.5 to 4.5 hours for a full home AC charge. The 3.4 kWh and 4.4 kWh packs support DC fast charging at public stations, reaching 0-80% in about 60-65 minutes, though a full AC home charge on these larger packs still takes close to 5 hours.
Which Vida VX2 variant should I buy?
For the tightest budget and short city hops, the Go 2.2 kWh at Rs 99,490 works, but it is capped at 70 kmph with a modest 93 km ARAI range. Most commuters are better served by the 3.4 kWh Go or Plus (roughly Rs 1.21 to 1.31 lakh) for a stronger 142-146 km ARAI range plus DC fast-charge support. Riders who want maximum range should pick the Plus 4.4 kWh (Rs 1.44 to 1.50,990 lakh) with its 187 km ARAI figure.
What is BaaS and does it actually save money?
Battery-as-a-Service is Vida's option to unbundle the battery from the scooter price, which lowers the upfront ex-showroom cost you pay. In exchange, you take on a recurring monthly battery rental charge, so it helps if your priority is a smaller initial outlay rather than the lowest total cost over time.
Do I need a home wall charger for the VX2?
No. The VX2's batteries are removable, portable, and IP67 rated, so you can carry them indoors and charge on any standard socket. The 3.4 kWh and 4.4 kWh packs additionally work with Vida's growing public DC fast-charging network for quick top-ups when you're out and about.
