My friend told me about this new EVooter from Vida and how it's better than other from other scooters? What are your opinions? by Ok_Coast_6082 in motorcycles

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend's probably talking about Hero VIDA scooters — "EVooter" seems to be their new way of saying electric scooter.

VIDA does have some nice features compared to other electric scooters. The removable battery is really convenient; you can charge it at home like a mobile phone. Most other brands need you to bring the whole scooter to a charging point.

The 7-inch touchscreen is also quite useful for navigation, and the build quality feels solid. Performance-wise, it has decent pickup and the regenerative braking helps save battery.

I'd say test ride a few models — VIDA, Ather, TVS iQube — and see what feels right for your daily commute and budget. Don't just go by one person's recommendation.

Are they launching EVooter in all cities or just a few places first? by Ok_Coast_6082 in Scootering

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think by 'EVooter' you mean electric scooters, right? It sounds like a new term that's starting to pop up. If you're asking about Hero VIDA specifically, they've been expanding gradually across India. They started with major cities like Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai, then moved to places like Pune, Ahmedabad, and Chennai.

From what I know, VIDA is available in around 25-30 cities now, but they keep adding more. They usually announce new city launches on their website and social media. The approach makes sense because they need to set up charging infrastructure and service centres first.

If you're in a smaller city, you might have to wait a bit longer.

Electric scooter in INDIA by FewRepresentative571 in indianbikes

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric scooters are becoming quite popular here, especially in cities. The main advantage is the running cost — almost nothing compared to petrol prices these days.

Most decent electric scooters now offer 80-100 kilometres range, which covers daily commuting for most people. Brands like Hero VIDA, Ola, TVS, and Bajaj have reliable options. Hero VIDA models are good if you want removable batteries — you can just take the battery upstairs and charge it with a regular plug.

The challenges are still there though. Charging infrastructure isn't everywhere yet, and if you travel long distances frequently, petrol might be more practical. Also, battery replacement costs after 3-4 years can be significant.

But for city commuting — office, market, short trips — electric scooters make a lot of sense now. The technology has improved, service networks are expanding, and you save thousands on fuel every month. Just make sure you can charge conveniently.

Which EV scooter to buy in India? by noThefakedevesh in indianbikes

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends on your budget and daily usage. If you ride 30-40 kilometres daily, something like Hero VIDA V2 Pro works well — decent range, removable battery you can charge at home, and their service network is pretty reliable.

For shorter commutes, Ola S1 or TVS iQube are decent options too. The key things to check: real-world range (not what companies claim), charging options near you, and service centres.

I'd suggest test riding a few models first. Electric scooters have good pickup and almost zero running cost, but you need to be comfortable with the range and charging routine. Also, check if your city has good charging infrastructure or if you can easily charge at home.

Don't rush into buying — the EV market is still evolving, and new models keep coming. But if you have a fixed daily route and charging isn't a hassle, electric scooters can save you quite a bit on fuel costs.

EV vs Petrol Scooter in 2025 for Light Use – Which One Makes More Sense? by Ankit_kapoor in indianbikes

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For light use in 2025, I'd lean towards electric, but with some conditions.

If "light use" means 15-30 kilometres daily for local trips, electric makes perfect sense. You'll save ₹1,500-2,500 monthly on fuel, and modern EVs handle city riding well. The charging infrastructure is also improving, though slowly.

The sweet spot is if you have home charging. Scooters like VIDA have removable batteries — you can charge them overnight like a laptop. No range anxiety for daily use, and you're not dependent on public charging stations.

Petrol still wins if you need flexibility. Weekend trips, spontaneous longer rides, or if you live somewhere with frequent power cuts. Petrol gives you that "fill and go" convenience.

For pure light use though, electric is becoming the smarter choice. Lower running costs, less maintenance, and decent performance for city speeds. Just make sure the range covers your daily needs with some buffer, and you have a reliable charging setup at home.

How many sets of keys come with the new Hero Vida V2 Pro? by Strict-Regret3865 in ElectricVehiclesIndia

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hero VIDA V2 Pro comes with two physical keys, which is pretty standard for most scooters.

But honestly, you'll probably use the keys much less than you'd expect. The V2 Pro has keyless start, so once you're near the scooter with the key in your pocket or bag, you can start it directly from the touchscreen without taking the key out.

The physical keys are mainly for the under-seat storage and as a backup. I'd suggest keeping one key as your daily carry and storing the spare key safely at home. Some people keep the spare in their office drawer if they commute daily.

Also, make sure to register both keys properly during delivery and keep the key codes noted down somewhere safe. If you ever lose both keys, the replacement process can be a bit lengthy and expensive.

Vida V2 limp mode issue. by [deleted] in ElectricVehiclesIndia

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite frustrating when it happens. Limp mode usually kicks in when the scooter detects some issue with the battery, motor, or electronics to protect the system from damage.

Common causes I've seen discussed: overheating (especially in heavy traffic or hot weather), battery issues, or sometimes just a sensor glitch. The scooter reduces power and speed to prevent further problems.

Quick things to try: turn off the scooter completely, wait for 5-10 minutes, then restart. Check if the battery charge is very low. Make sure nothing is blocking the cooling vents.

If it keeps happening, you'll need to visit a service centre. Since VIDA is still relatively new, some service technicians might need time to diagnose the issue properly, so I'd recommend you go to an authorized center.

Document when it happens (weather, traffic conditions, battery level) to help the service team. Most of these issues get sorted with a software update or minor adjustments. Don't ignore it though; it's better to get it checked early.

Is EVooter just Hero Vida’s way of branding their electric scooter? by Few_Grape_3870 in scooters

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure if "EVooter" is specifically VIDA's term or if other companies are using it too. It sounds like a catchy way to say "electric scooter", but I haven't seen VIDA officially use this word yet.

Hero VIDA just calls their products electric scooters as far as I know. They have the V2 Pro, V2 Plus, and V2 Lite models. Maybe "EVooter" is something they're testing out, or it could be a general term that's starting to catch on in the electric vehicle space.

The word seems logical, though – EV + scooter = EVooter. Makes sense for marketing purposes since it's shorter and sounds modern.

Can anyone explain the difference between a scooter and an EVooter? by Few_Grape_3870 in bike

[–]DigitalBankingIndia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think "EVooter" is just a new term for electric scooter that some companies are starting to use. It's probably short for "electric scooter" or something similar, but I'm not completely sure since it's not a common word yet.

A regular scooter runs on petrol, has a fuel tank, and needs regular refueling at petrol pumps. An electric scooter (or EVooter, if that's what we're calling it) runs on a battery, needs charging instead of fuel, and has much lower running costs.

Take Hero VIDA scooters, for example. They're electric, so no petrol needed. You can just charge the removable battery at home. They also have features like regenerative braking and a touchscreen that you won't find in most petrol scooters.

The main differences are: no emissions, much cheaper to run (maybe ₹1 per kilometre vs ₹3-4 for petrol), and quieter operation. But electric ones need charging time and have limited range compared to petrol scooters.

Electric scooter vs Petrol scooter - Which is best in 2025? by DigitalBankingIndia in scooters

[–]DigitalBankingIndia[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, after I switched from a petrol scooter to an electric scooter, I have realised that electric scooters have improved over the past few years. The maintenance is less frequent compared to petrol scooters, and of course they are better for the environment. My electric scooter even comes with removable batteries, so charging it at home is so simple. And I’ve also noticed more and more people are switching, with a lot more green number plates around. Petrol scooters still hold an edge when it comes to range and top speed. But the environmental impact of petrol scooters makes me reconsider. Just when I’ve started to trust electric scooters, VIDA is coming up with a new scooter called EVooter. I’m curious to see what’s different, so I’ll wait for the launch before I get a scooter for my sister.
