Hero Vida electric off-road bikes to be showcased at EICMA 2024

Hero’s electric vehicle brand, Vida Electric, is gearing up to unveil two exciting electric off-road bikes at EICMA 2024. Ahead of the official reveal, the EV maker has teased glimpses of its innovative electric dirt bike on social media, stirring anticipation for its debut.

Vida Lynx Dirt Bike Concept

The star of the show is expected to be the Vida Lynx concept, an electric dirt bike that first made its appearance at EICMA a few years back. According to insiders, the Lynx concept has undergone significant development since its initial unveiling, evolving with each iteration. While it remains a concept for now, Vida Electric aims to showcase it as a statement of technological innovation in the electric off-road space, underscoring the potential for EVs in demanding environments.

The teaser reveals that the Lynx concept retains much of its original design, featuring a trellis frame that houses the battery pack, minimal bodywork for a sleek look, and long-travel suspension tailored for off-road performance. It rides on wire-spoke wheels with rugged, knobby tires ideal for rough terrain.

Vida Acro Children’s Electric Bike

In addition to the Lynx, Vida Electric will reveal a near-production electric dirt bike designed specifically for children. Likely inspired by the Vida Acro concept, this model is aimed at young riders between the ages of three and nine. Built with adjustability in mind, it features a 3-point adjustable frame, allowing customization of the seat height, handlebar position, and bike length to accommodate growing kids.

Currently, there are no electric or internal combustion engine (ICE) bikes in India designed exclusively for children. If Vida launches this children’s electric bike, it could pioneer a new segment, offering a safe and exciting option for young motorcycling enthusiasts and fostering early interest in EVs.

With these two bikes, Vida Electric is setting the stage for innovation in electric off-road motorcycles, positioning itself as a forward-thinking brand in the EV landscape.
