VIDA VX2
Last weekend, I found myself at a cousin’s wedding reception, chatting with a group of women who were discussing their daily commutes. What caught my attention was how three of them had recently switched to electric scooters—specifically the Vida VX2 series. As someone who’s been following the EV two-wheeler space closely, I couldn’t help but jump into the conversation.
VIDA VX2 Safety That Makes Sense
The first thing that convinced me was how stable it feels,” said Priya, a 32-year-old graphic designer who had been riding her VX2 Plus for about two months. I’ve test-ridden several electric scooters myself, and I have to agree with her assessment. The VX2’s balanced weight distribution makes it exceptionally stable, even when navigating through Mumbai’s notorious potholes.
The Combined Braking System (CBS) on the VX2 models is particularly noteworthy for newer riders. Unlike conventional scooters, where you need to coordinate both brakes, the CBS distributes braking force automatically, reducing the risk of skidding. For women who might be first-time riders or upgrading from lighter scooters, this feature provides an added layer of confidence.
What impressed me during my test ride was the impressive 155 mm ground clearance, which is substantially better than that of many competitors.
VIDA VX2 Style That Speaks
“I was tired of being offered only pink or purple options,” laughed Divya, another VX2 Go rider in the group. “Finally, a company that understands women want sophisticated choices too.”
The VX2 lineup breaks away from the stereotype that women’s vehicles need to look a certain way. The clean lines and modern aesthetics appeal to riders looking for something contemporary rather than cutesy. The TFT display on the Plus variant is particularly sleek, intuitive and clear, even under bright sunlight.
With a seat height of 777 mm, the VX2 is accessible for riders of various heights, which has traditionally been a concern for many women. The details seem well thought out, with controls placed within easy reach and a comfortable riding posture that doesn’t strain your back during longer commutes.
Smart Features of VIDA VX2 That Actually Matter
What truly sets the VX2 series apart, especially the Plus variant, are the smart features that feel practical rather than gimmicky. The removable battery system is a game-changer for apartment dwellers without dedicated parking with charging points.
“I live on the third floor with no elevator,” mentioned Meera, the third VX2 owner. “Being able to remove the battery and charge it in my apartment made an electric scooter possible for me.” The 2.2 kWh battery on the GO variant is manageable to carry, whereas the Plus model with its 3.4 kWh capacity (split between two batteries) offers impressive range flexibility.
The app integration allows for basic diagnostics and location tracking—a thoughtful security feature for women who park in public spaces. The claimed real-world range of 64km for the GO and 100km for the Plus variant seems realistic based on what these riders reported, though heavy traffic conditions might reduce it slightly.
The Practical Reality
What I found most refreshing about our conversation was the honesty. These weren’t perfect-scenario testimonials, but rather real-life experiences. The drum brakes on the GO variant were “adequate but not exceptional” according to Priya, who sometimes wished she’d opted for the disc brake version.
For women considering the switch to electric, the Vida VX2 lineup seems to strike that elusive balance between practicality, style, and smart technology. It’s not just about making a “women-friendly” scooter but creating a thoughtfully designed vehicle that addresses real needs without patronising its riders.
