Hero Vida Electric Scooter: Under the Vida brand, Hero MotoCorp introduced two electric scooters. The devices are the Vida V1 Plus and Vida V1 Pro. By introducing a variety of various add-ons, such as charging for infra and Vida services, for easier ownership, Hero is attempting to carve out a niche for itself. Additionally, Hero MotoCorp plans to create statewide charging stations.
Hero Vida V1 Vs other Rivals
Both Hero Vida V1 electric scooters feature single-sided mono-shocks at the back and telescopic forks up front. Both the Ola S1 and S1 Pro receive single-sided front forks. Ola’s single-sided front fork does make the right side incredibly attractive and uncluttered, despite some reported problems.
Other competitors also receive dual front telescopic forks. Every electric scooter in this comparison receives a mono-shock unit, with the exception of iQube. The sizes of the disc brakes were left out by Hero. The front and rear drum brakes on the Vida V1 Pro and V1 Plus are both disc brakes. Hero MotoCorp has provided alloy wheel diameters in the 12′′ range; tyre sizes have not yet been disclosed.
Ola S1 and S1 Pro offer 36L, which is the highest in our comparison, thanks to the banana-shaped batteries that are tidily stored inside of its floorboard. Following them are 32L of the highest-specified iQube, 30L for Simple One, 26L for the Hero Vida V1 Pro and V1 Plus, 22L for the 450X, and 20L for the Chetak.
Simple One and Ola scooters each have a peak power of 8,500W. Peak power for both Hero scooters is 6,000W, followed by 5,400W for the 450X, 4,400W for the iQube, and 4,080W for the Chetak. Ola scooters once again top the list for continuous power output with 5,500W, followed by Hero Vida V1 scooters with 3,900W. Since Vida V1 receives a motor positioned on the swingarm, iQube is the only one with a hub motor.

Hero also didn’t mention torque numbers. The winner in terms of torque is still Simple Energy with 72 Nm, followed by Ola S1 Pro and S1 with 58 Nm. Simple One boasts an unmatched range of 236-300 km when it comes to distance covered on a single charge!
