Hero MotoCorp’s electric vehicle brand, Vida, is set to unveil a new electric motorcycle concept called the Ubex at the EICMA 2025 event in early November. The Ubex is expected to be Hero’s first all-electric bike for India, marking the company’s expansion into the electric motorcycle space beyond scooters. The concept reflects Hero’s plan to combine its two-wheeler heritage with the latest EV technology to cater to a new generation of riders.
The Vida Ubex is a road-focused, street-naked motorcycle that features USD front forks, a rear monoshock, disc brakes on both ends, and alloy wheels. The teaser silhouette reveals a mid-mounted motor and a battery unit placed where a traditional engine usually sits. Although Hero hasn’t disclosed the powertrain specs, the company has been collaborating with Zero Motorcycles to develop new electric models in the 350cc and above equivalent segment, which are expected to launch in 2026-27. The Ubex could be an early preview of this lineup.
The name “Ubex” is believed to be derived from “Urbex,” short for urban exploration, suggesting a design meant for city riding with sporty dynamics. The electric motorcycle space is becoming increasingly competitive, with Royal Enfield readying the Flying Flea C6 for launch in early 2026, and Ather Energy, partly owned by Hero MotoCorp, developing a new Zenith platform for performance e-bikes. The Vida Ubex is expected to blend urban practicality with modern EV tech, making it a significant player in the market.
The full reveal of the Vida Ubex at EICMA 2025 will provide a clearer look at Hero’s electric future and potentially India’s next big EV motorcycle. The concept is expected to showcase sharp design, city-friendly features, and a blend of traditional motorcycle heritage with cutting-edge EV technology. With the electric motorcycle space heating up, the Vida Ubex is an exciting development that could mark a significant milestone in Hero’s EV journey. As the company continues to expand its electric offerings, the Ubex is likely to be a key player in the Indian market, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and sustainability.
