Hero’s EV subsidiary, Vida, will be a part of EICMA 2025 scheduled to happen in the first week of November, and in a now-deleted Instagram post revealed that aside from its existing lineup of products and prototypes we’ve seen before, it will also be showcasing a new electric motorcycle concept called the Ubex.

Vida Ubex Concept: What to expect
The Vida Ubex could be the manufacturer’s first electric motorcycle for our market
The image shared on Instagram features only the silhouette of a motorcycle, offering limited information on what to expect. What we can establish though is that the Ubex concept is that of a street-naked motorcycle and that it features a USD fork, monoshock, disc brakes at both ends, and alloy wheels. The image also confirms that the bike will feature a mid-drive motor with the battery housing where a conventional engine would typically be.
Performance specifications and powertrain details remain unknown at this stage. However, we previously reported that the automaker is working with Zero Motorcycles on a number of products in the 350cc and above equivalent segments that will launch in 2026-27. Whether this concept is one of those motorcycles is yet to be seen.
The name ‘Ubex’ could be a play on ‘Urbex’, short for urban exploration, possibly hinting at the motorcycle’s city-focused intentions.
At the moment, several manufacturers are working on adding electric motorcycles to their lineup. The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 appears to be in its final stages of development with an early 2026 launch expected, while Ather Energy, in which Hero MotoCorp holds a significant stake, is developing a new platform called Zenith to underpin electric two-wheelers targeting the 125-300cc segments.
It’s quite possible that the Vida Ubex will offer specifications and performance that place it in a similar category. We’ll have more details when the concept is unveiled at EICMA next week.
