The Hero VX2 Access Electric has rolled into the EV scene like a quiet disruptor no loud marketing blitz, no dramatic theatrics. Just solid numbers, clever engineering, and an eyebrow-raising ₹80,000 price tag. And that’s exactly why it’s making noise. In a segment where most long-range scooters still flirt with premium pricing, Hero has dropped an EV that promises 200 km range, 75 km/h cruising capability, and 60-minute fast charging. For everyday commuters who simply want reliability without financial acrobatics, the VX2 feels like a strong, well-timed move.
A Modern-Classic Design for Indian Streets
Hero hasn’t tried to reinvent the wheel with the VX2 Access Electric. The design language is familiar, almost comforting—the classic scooter silhouette Indian riders know well. But the details? Sharper, cleaner, more premium.
The LED headlamp looks contemporary without being over-styled, while the crisp DRLs add a futuristic vibe. The side panels flow aerodynamically, giving the scooter a sleeker profile compared to the usual entry-level EV crowd. The flat floorboard is especially handy for office bags, grocery runs, or just stretching your legs on longer rides.
Color choices Metallic White, Deep Blue, and Satin Silver keep things sophisticated instead of flashy. And despite being lightweight, the scooter feels sturdy, the alloy wheels adding both visual appeal and everyday practicality.
Performance That Surprises in This Segment
Here’s where Hero has taken a notable leap. The VX2 Access Electric packs a 3.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering a claimed 200 km range. Even with real-world reduction, this is more than enough for weekly urban commuting.
The high-torque motor provides a smooth, predictable surge of power. No jerky starts, no irritating lag—just instant, silent torque, ideal for darting through morning traffic or cruising at a steady pace on open roads.
The 75 km/h top speed places the VX2 comfortably in the “practical daily commuter” slot rather than the “low-speed e-cycle” bracket. It is city-friendly yet not underpowered for quick highway sprints.
Fast charging—0 to 80% in 60 minutes—is the final cherry on top. Pair that with regenerative braking and dual riding modes (Eco & Sport), and the scooter blends efficiency with performance better than most rivals at this price.

Ride Comfort & Safety: Built for Indian Roads
The VX2 feels like a scooter designed by people who actually understand Indian roads. The suspension setup is tuned to absorb potholes and expansion joints without rattling your spine. The wide tyres and low center of gravity make the ride stable and confidence-inspiring, even for new riders.
CBS (Combined Braking System) helps distribute braking force evenly, reducing skidding on slippery surfaces. The ergonomic seat height keeps it accessible for shorter riders, while the spacious seat and sturdy grab rails keep the pillion comfortable too.
Price, EMI & Ownership Benefits
At ₹80,000 (ex-showroom), the Hero VX2 Access Electric undercuts several competitors while offering almost double the range. With EMI plans expected to start around ₹2,000–₹2,500, it becomes an appealing option for budget-focused buyers.
Hero is expected to offer:
- Exchange bonuses for old petrol scooters
- Battery variant options
- Low-cost maintenance plans
And with Hero’s massive service network, ownership costs stay minimal—a big relief in an EV market still finding its after-sales footing.
Final Verdict
The Hero VX2 Access Electric is the kind of EV Indian commuters have been waiting for—practical range, solid performance, smart features, and affordability blended into a single, user-friendly package. It’s fast enough, efficient enough, comfortable enough, and priced aggressively enough to attract both first-time buyers and long-time petrol users.
With 200 km range, an 80% charge in an hour, and Hero’s trusted reliability, the VX2 stands tall as one of the most balanced electric scooters in its class. If going electric has been on your mind, this scooter makes the transition easier than ever.
