Hero MotoCorp has filed a design patent in India for the Vida VXZ electric motorcycle, indicating significant progress towards a production-ready version of the model first showcased as a concept at EICMA 2025. This patent filing suggests that development work is in an advanced stage and signals Hero's intention to expand into higher-margin segments within the electric two-wheeler market.
The patent images depict a street-naked electric motorcycle, positioned above Hero's existing Vida VX2 scooter range and targeting the premium, performance-oriented segment. While specific details on battery capacity, motor output, or range figures have not been disclosed, the design drawings reveal a tubular trellis frame with a centrally mounted battery pack, upside-down front forks, a rear monoshock, and disc brakes at both ends.
This move highlights Hero MotoCorp's strategic push to diversify its electric vehicle portfolio beyond commuter EVs, as competition intensifies from both domestic and international electric two-wheeler manufacturers. Earlier announcements hinted at joint products with Zero Motorcycles targeting higher capacity categories, with launches expected between 2026 and 2027.
