Hero MotorCorp's electric vehicle division, Vida, is poised to introduce its inaugural electric adventure motorcycle in the near future. Recently, the company secured a patent for the design of this forthcoming electric ADV motorcycle in India, with an anticipated launch in the country projected for late 2025.

At EICMA 2024, Vida presented its Vida Z electric scooter aimed at global markets. However, the origins of the new ADV can be traced back to EICMA 2023, where Hero MotoCorp revealed two electric adventure motorcycle concepts: the Lynx and the Acro. These concepts were intended to demonstrate the company's vision for electric off-road vehicles.

The Lynx is designed as an electric dirt bike for adults, while the Acro appears to cater to a younger audience, serving as a learner's motorcycle. The recent design patent indicates that Vida may be planning to develop the Acro, as the patent image lacks front braking components, aligning with the concept of the Acro.

The electric ADV motorcycle is designed with large spoked wheels, a single-seat configuration, and a centrally located electric motor. It includes centre-set footpegs, and the tyres seem to be optimized for off-road performance. Notably, the patent illustration does not depict a rear disc brake.

Additionally, the ADV motorcycle features a raised handlebar and a flat seat to promote an upright riding position. The front suspension appears to utilize height-adjustable USD telescopic forks, complemented by sturdy fork covers, while the rear suspension is handled by a mono-shock system. The removable battery is situated along the spine of the bike, in conjunction with a mid-mounted electric motor that powers the rear wheel through what appears to be a belt drive system.
