Vida Ubex: Electric Motorcycle Nears Production
7 Feb
Summary
- Hero's Vida electric motorcycle, the Ubex, has been patented.
- The Ubex features a sporty, streetfighter-style design.
- It is expected to have a large battery for urban range.
Hero MotoCorp's electric division, Vida, is poised to enter the electric motorcycle segment with its newly patented Ubex model. Initially presented as a concept, the Ubex now appears closer to production, featuring a streetfighter-inspired design with aggressive styling and urban appeal.
The patent reveals a near-production version of the electric motorcycle. It sports a sporty naked bike aesthetic, complete with LED daytime running lamps and conventional telescopic forks, suggesting a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness for the domestic market.
Ergonomically, the Ubex is designed for commuter-friendly, upright riding. Key hardware includes disc brakes on both ends and a trellis-type swingarm. A prominent, low-slung battery pack hints at a substantial capacity, aimed at delivering practical urban range.
While a launch timeline is not yet confirmed, the Ubex is expected to be sold through Hero's dedicated Vida outlets and the Premia network in India. This move signifies Hero's commitment to expanding its presence in the burgeoning Indian electric motorcycle landscape.
