  • Safeguard their loved ones

  • Prevent theft or vandalism

The 7 inches TFT is an intelligent HMI having a touchscreen-enabled Over The Air for easy functionality. The smart 2-way throttle is able to provide reverse and regenerative assistance.

The limp home feature keeps the rider agnostic of being stranded since VIDA V1 offers the rider the ability to drive at 10kmph for about 8 kilometers to a location of choice, in case the SOC drops below a pre-defined limit.

VIDA CLOUD

VIDA cloud is an exclusive interface that engages the rider, vehicle, and the service backend to enhance efficiency and reinforce the worry-free experience. The technology interfaces through Augmented Reality, Prognostics, and remote diagnostics to repair on-site, and book a charging station slot, the analytics and machine learning enhance the ownership experience of the rider.

ELECTRIC POWER TRAIN TECHNOLOGY

VIDA V1 features a highly integrated e-drive unit within a single housing with a PMSM electric motor, IP 68 compliant, and transmission. VIDA V1 gives you a top speed of 80 kmph, acceleration from 0 to 40kmph in 3.2 seconds with a maximum output of 6kW.
