    Affordable Hero Vida VX2 Spied Undisguised At Showroom – Details

    Hero Vida VX2 SpiedHero MotoCorp’s electric scooter brand, Vida, is on the verge of launching a new affordable offering on July 1, 2025. Called VX2, it is speculated to be positioned below Vida V2 lineup. There was a lot of buzz online whether it will be a new electric scooter or a rebadged Vida Z, showcased at 2025 Auto Expo.
    The first set of spy shots of this upcoming scooter are out and we have our answer to that question. Upcoming Hero Vida VX2 is a rebadged Vida Z and it will be positioned as an affordable product. Units have reached showrooms undisguised and they show key design detail and the affordable equipment it packs. Let’s take a closer look.
    Vida VX2 Plus Spied
    Affordable Hero Vida VX2 Spied
    The new Vida VX2 has been spied for the first time without any camouflage on it. It dons a matte yellow shade and VX2 badge on side body panels. Beside VX2 badge, we also get ‘Plus’ badge which confirms that there will be multiple variants of VX2. Looking at Vida V2 lineup, one can speculate that VX2 will be offered in Lite, Plus and Pro.
    As things stand, Hero Vida V2 starts from Rs 74,000 for base Lite variant, Rs 85,300 for mid-spec Plus variant and 1,15,300 for top-spec Pro variant (all prices Effective Ex-sh). Looking at the equipment that Vida VX2 is packing, it is a less premium product with less features and equipment.
    Vida VX2 Plus Spied
    Where pricing is concerned, Vida VX2 might start from Rs 65,000 (Effective Ex-sh), which will unlock huge sales potential for the brand. Vida VX2 appears quite premium with its LED projector headlights, LED tail lights, LED sequential turn indicators, 12-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (same as V2), front disc brake and other elements.
    Looking closely, one can see a physical key hole with Vida VX2, whereas Vida V2 comes with a smart key with keyless go feature as standard fitment right from the base Lite variant. Another giveaway that is less premium than V2 Lite is a smaller instrument screen. This is likely to be a colour TFT unit with connectivity features including navigation.
    Vida VX2 Plus Spied
    Less features
    However, looking at the extensive switchgear with a joystick, it is obvious that Vida VX2 will not pack a touchscreen instrument screen, which is also offered as standard with Vida V2, even with base Lite variant. The body panels are much simpler on VX2 and do not require expensive tooling. There’s a single piece seat, unlike the split seat offered on Vida V2.
    Powertrain details are not confirmed yet. But it is likely to share the same removable battery architecture as Vida V2 lineup in the same variant hierarchy with battery packs ranging between 2.2 kWh to 3.9 kWh. Claimed IDC range can go till 165 km, depending on battery option. Hero Vida VX2 will launch on July 1, 2025.

    KTM Duke Electric Bike Spotted – Launch By 2026-27?

    KTM Duke Electric Bike SpottedIt is likely that KTM E-Duke will be manufactured in India by Bajaj, catering to both domestic and international markets
    For the mainstream market, KTM is developing the E-Duke, essentially an electric version of the popular Duke series. Recently, a prototype of the KTM E-Duke was showcased at the KTM Motohall museum. This is the first ever sighting of the KTM E-Duke and the video was uploaded by RokBagoros. Let’s check out the details.
    KTM Electric E-Duke – Styling and features
    E-Duke’s prototype has been developed in Austria’s Mattighofen, the birthplace and global headquarters of KTM. A video of the E-Duke has been shared online by stunt rider Rok Bagoros, who has been associated with KTM since 2011. As seen in the video, the E-Duke prototype has design similarities with the existing 390 Duke. However, it has multiple distinctive features that ensure a more futuristic look and feel.
    KTM E-Duke Electric Motorcycle
    Some of the key features of KTM E-Bike include split LED headlamp, heavily stylized tank extensions and sharp fuel tank design. KTM E-Duke will be using a tweaked version of 390 Duke’s rolling chassis. Similarities can be seen across parts like the Trellis frame, USD front forks, offset rear shock absorber and aluminium swingarm. Use of KTM’s signature orange shade across the side panels and on wheels also ensures it retains the unmistakable Duke character.
    But the KTM E-Duke has some distinctive features such as a sharper bodywork and a new subframe. One can notice an air scoop placed under the swingarm, primarily for cooling the rear wheel rim. Another distinctive feature is the 3D-printed seat, although this may be replaced with a more practical option in the production version. KTM E-Duke prototype has performance-oriented slick tyres.
    KTM E-Duke Electric Motorcycle
    While the latest-gen petrol-powered KTM bikes have received larger instrument screens, the E-Duke can be seen with a relatively smaller TFT display. It feels like the 4.3-inch unit seen with the 390 Enduro R. Another interesting feature is a handbrake lever for the rear brake. This is something similar to that of KTM Freeride E-XC electric offroad bike.
    KTM E-Duke – Performance, range, specs
    In an earlier communication, KTM had stated that the E-Duke will be utilising a 10kW (nominal power) electric motor. The electric bike will be equipped with a 5.5 kWh battery pack. However, these specifications were announced in 2022. As many years have passed and the launch timeline is still unclear, the specs may change with the production version. KTM will likely aim for a range of 100+ km with the E-Duke.
    KTM E-Duke Electric Motorcycle
    Performance aspects of E-Duke will be a close match or even better than the existing 390 Duke. E-Duke could be lighter than the 390 Duke that weighs 168 kg. This will ensure more agile characteristics and enhanced control and handling. In the prototype, the battery pack and motor are mounted at the same place where the 390 Duke has its engine. A chain drive has been used to ensure durability and hassle-free rides.
    While the fuel tank section could have been used as a storage space, the E-Duke has this area hollowed out. This setup is likely to serve as an air channelling pathway to cool the battery pack and other linked components. Another thing to notice is an integrated charging cable. It indicates the likely presence of an on-board charger, something similar to that of Bajaj Chetak.

    In its current flamboyant form, the KTM E-Duke prototype doesn’t seem ready for practical, everyday use. A lot of changes are likely, which means launch could take at least a couple of years. A good thing is that decision making and execution could be faster with Bajaj acquiring a majority stake in KTM.

    Yamaha Electric Scooter Spied Testing – Design Elements Revealed

    New Yamaha Electric Scooter SpiedWhile retaining the powertrain and utilitarian features, Yamaha’s version of the River Indie has sharper and distinctive styling
    As part of its collaboration with River Mobility, Yamaha is working on a new electric scooter based on the River’s Indie EV. It is expected to be launched in India later this year and will also cater to export markets. Codenamed RY01, Yamaha’s version of the River Indie was recently spotted on road tests in Bengaluru. Let’s check out the details.
    Yamaha Electric Scooter Spied Testing – Key features
    Similar to the River Indie, the Yamaha version has a prominent road presence. With the Indie electric scooter having a wheelbase of 1,365 mm, the size is comparable to the popular 350cc bikes. Yamaha’s version has some distinctive features such as the vertically stacked dual headlamp setup. In comparison, the River Indie electric scooter has a horizontally positioned dual headlamp setup.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Yamaha’s version of the Indie has a sharper and more revealing profile for the side panels. While the Indie has pannier mounts on both sides, Yamaha’s version seems to have replaced it with a layered design element. As this section is fully camouflaged, it is difficult to tell if some utilitarian functions are still available. Some changes are noticeable across the front apron as well. The tail lamp has a new design and is placed higher in comparison to that of the Indie scooter.
    Features that are largely the same as Indie include the 14-inch wheels and the distinctive swingarm design. Yamaha’s version of the Indie is using the same 6-inch colour LCD display. The side crash protection bars also seem to be present, even though they are fully camouflaged. Yamaha’s version will retain the storage options, a 12 litres glove box at the front and 43 litres of underseat storage.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Powertrain, range, specs
    Performance aspects of Yamaha’s version are expected to be largely the same as that of River Indie. The latter utilizes a 4 kWh Li-ion battery pack that supplies power to a 6.7 kW (9 BHP) electric motor. IDC certified range is 161 km. The scooter has a top speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Based on their needs, users can choose riding modes of Eco, Ride or Rush. Negotiating inclines won’t be an issue, as the scooter has rated gradeability of 18 degrees.
    River Indie’s battery pack is IP67 water and dust resistant. It supports fast charging, allowing users to load 0 to 80% in around 5 hours. The scooter has a steel tubular double cradle frame, integrated with telescopic front suspension and twin hydraulic dampers at the rear.
    New Yamaha Electric Scooter Based on River Indie
    Braking setup comprises 240 mm front and 200 mm rear disc, integrated with a combined braking system. Other key features include LED lighting, hazard light, boot light, side stand motor cut-off, aluminium footpegs, USB port and reverse parking assist. Water wade capability is rated at 300 mm.
    Pricing
    While the River Indie is available at a starting price of Rs 1.44 lakh, Yamaha’s version could be offered with a higher price tag. Launch is expected later this year. Yamaha’s version of the River Indie electric scooter will take on rivals like Ola S1 Pro, Ather 450X, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak.

    2025 Italjet Dragster Redefines Scooter Design – 125cc, 200cc, 350cc

    Italjet Dragster 300 MalossiFor a long time, scooter designs have reached a saturation point. Beyond this point, most scooters look more or less the same, unlike a few noteworthy examples that truly redefine the direction in scooter designs. One such example is Italjet Dragster which looks like it came straight out of a Cyberpunk world.
    The 2025 Italjet Dragster looks just as bonkers as it did before with slightly redesigned elements here and there. It now gets a plethora of colours for Dragster 125 and Dragster 200 along with a few exclusive colours for Dragster 300. While Italjet Dragster is not likely to launch in India anytime soon, let’s take a closer look and appreciate this raunchy scooter design.
    Italjet Dragster 300 Malossi
    2025 Italjet Dragster – Raunchy Scooter
    Italian automakers are known to go a little on the flamboyant side, which is not a bad thing in the mundane world. That is the reason why Italian vehicles establish an emotional connection with their buyers. In the scooter world, Bologna-based Italjet has that effect on buyers with their Dragster range of scooters.
    Ever since it was launched, Italjet Dragster has been an absolute eye candy and can be classified as one of the most bonkers scooters ever. It is offered with multiple powertrains ranging from 125cc, 200cc and 300cc. Italjet also offers a Dragster 700 Twin that gets a 70 bhp engine, but a more conventional steering system.
    Italjet Dragster 300 Malossi
    The 125, 200 and 300, on the other hand, get an Independent Steering System (ISS) with a push-rod type single-sided front suspension system. For MY25 version, there are new colours and what looks like a new finish for alloy wheels.
    Exciting colour options

    Italjet Dragster 300 Malossi
    With Dragster 200, Malossi colourway is the most affordable at EUR 5,590 (Rs 5.42 lakh) and rest all colours costs EUR 5,790 (Rs 5.61 lakh). This trend is completely opposite with Dragster 300 as the Malossi colour is the priciest at EUR 7,099 (Rs 6.88 lakh) whereas the other colours cost EUR 6,999 (Rs 6.78 lakh).
    Italjet Dragster
    All three Dragsters from Italjet (125, 200, 300) get single cylinder DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled engines.
