VIDA's Impressive Sales Growth

Two New VIDA EV Scooters Launching in July 2025
To build on its momentum, VIDA is going to roll out two new electric scooters in July 2025. The two new models are intended to target two fundamentally different segments:
1. A cost-effective model targeting rural and semi-urban India
2. A premium, feature-packing model called VIDA Z, already spotted in road tests
Budget Model: Rural India Focussed
One of the two new models to roll out will be cost-effective, tailored specifically for rural customers and budget buyers.
1. It will have fewer top-of-the-line features than current VIDA scooters
2. Will retail for less than the VIDA V1 Lite (₹74,000)
3. Will have simple tech, enhanced durability, and functional design
4. Objective is to enter Tier 2, Tier 3 cities and villages, bringing EV mobility within reach in more of India
VIDA Z: Premium, Future-Ready EV Scooter
On the other side of the scale, the second launch is the VIDA Z, which is a premium model that will rewrite electric two-wheeler rules in India.
1. Recently caught on-road testing, which means it’s close to being launched
2. Will feature next-gen smart technology, enhanced safety features, and a high-performance battery
3. Predicted to be the priciest VIDA scooter to date, with prices higher than the V1 Pro.
4. Based as a futuristic urban lifestyle EV scooter for tech enthusiasts.
Game-Changing Battery Upgrade
One of the most looked-forward-to features of the new VIDA models is the new battery type. Traction batteries are used in existing VIDA scooters, and charging them proves to be a hassle for users.
The new models can potentially have:
1. Easier-to-remove user-friendly batteries
2. Aiding faster charging mechanisms
3. Enhanced battery efficiency and thermal protection
This would hugely improve user satisfaction and provide additional convenience factor—VIDA to be the game-changer in the world of EVs.
Conclusion
VIDA EV Scooters With a rapidly growing market share, aggressive expansion plans, and two new scooter models in the pipeline, VIDA is poised to disrupt India’s EV two-wheeler market in 2025. The twin strategy—two different models for affordability and futuristic features—may enable VIDA to appeal to rural as well as urban consumers alike.
