Speaking of performance, both variants feature an IP68 rated motor with a claimed top speed of 80kmph. That said, the V1 Pro is quicker at 0-40kmph sprints with a claimed time of 3.2seconds. The V1 Plus thankfully isn’t too far behind, completing the 0-40kmph run in 3.4seconds.
Hero Vida V1 Suspension And Brakes:
The Hero Vida V1 is built on an underbone frame linked to a telescopic fork and a single rear shock absorber. Braking is via a disc up front and a drum at the rear. The e-scooter rides on 12-inch alloy wheels at both ends. Up front, it gets a 90/90-section tyre whereas the rear comes with a 100/80 unit.
Hero Vida V1 Competitors:
The Vida V1 Pro will rival the Ather 450X, TVS iQube ST, Ola S1 Pro and the Bajaj Chetak. For around the same price, you can also go for TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Yamaha FZ25 or the Bajaj Pulsar N250.
