The recently launched VX2 electric scooter with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) subscription model spearheaded this sales success because of its reduced upfront ex-showroom price.

On the other hand, the Vida VX2 didn’t get the Grey colourway but it flaunted the 125 3D plaque on the front apron. Hero MotoCorp had been ruling the two-wheeler segment for so many decades. It is not only India’s but the world’s biggest two-wheeler brand. Honda was able to dethrone it from the pole position just a couple of months back, but Hero bounced back quickly and since then, it has been the largest two-wheeler brand.
