So here’s the thing. Vida scooter just crossed 1 lakh units in a year. Yeah, that’s huge. But let’s be honest, numbers alone don’t tell the full story.
When I first rode the Vida scooter back in 2021, I wasn’t fully convinced. Looks good, sure. But Indian roads? Tough. Seedha bola, potholes, bumps, and traffic chaos. And yet, people seem to love it. Its light weight, smooth ride, and that electric buzz kinda addictive once you get used to it.
The Numbers Vs Reality
Company says Vida scooter gives 120 km range. I’ve tested EVs before and my inner skeptic always says, hmm not so fast. I remember another scooter claiming 150 km and in city traffic barely 100 km. Took the Vida scooter for a spin. Surprisingly solid. Not perfect but good enough for city rides. Charging stations are still catching up, especially outside metro cities.
And the crowd at the dealer last month was something else. People literally waiting outside. Some even booking two scooters at once. That’s when it hit me. Vida scooter isn’t just a vehicle. It’s a statement. But yes, small glitches in the display pop up occasionally. Not a dealbreaker but noticeable.

Price is a big factor. Vida scooter isn’t too cheap to feel flimsy, not too expensive to scare buyers. And design. I’ve seen scooters trying to look futuristic but ending up weird. Vida scooter just works. Feels modern, feels manageable.
One thing though. Heavy load acceleration can lag sometimes. Not a big issue for most. But for those expecting instant torque it shows. Still, the average buyer probably won’t care. The milestone of 1 lakh units is what people brag about.
The Bigger Picture
Crossing 1 lakh units shows Indians are warming up to electric scooters. Seedhi baat, Vida scooter is helping change the way people see EVs. Fun, reliable, affordable. But it’s not a magic fix. Batteries age, service centers need to grow faster than sales.
Funny story. In Bangalore, a customer complained of a weird beep on his Vida scooter. Turned out a software update was pending. He was ready to ditch EVs. After a quick fix, he rode off smiling. Shows learning curve exists and that’s okay.
Verdict
Vida scooter crossing 1 lakh units is a big deal. Will everyone stay loyal? Maybe not. Some will upgrade, some will face issues, some will sing praises. But Vida scooter has made its mark. And in India’s crazy two-wheeler market, that’s what matters. Not perfect, not flawless, but people are noticing and that counts.
