Hero vs Ola Electric Bikes : Electric two-wheelers are no longer merely futuristic visions; they have become – much more than, perhaps, the quintessential dream – a part and parcel of daily life in India. Two names-Hero MotoCorp and Ola Electric-have taken on each other to gain supremacy over electric bikes in 2025. While Ola’s buzz has accompanied that of its scooters and future motorcycles, Hero has been working smartly in the powerful yet practical EV genre-it has launched the Vida brand. So, who is winning this EV race in 2025? Let’s find out in some comparisons.

They have entered the EV market with the Vida V1, having decent performance with swapable batteries at an affordable price. Hero has an extensive dealership and service center network all across India-from the atendhu to the rural villages. This is huge mileage for them.
Ola Electric, being in actuality an upstart company, has very quickly grown by leaps and bounds. The model of selling online and service at the doorstep might not suit all, but for the most part, the model is almost exclusively appealing to the young, urban, tech-savvy segment. Aggressive marketing combined with app-based features attract first-time buyers of EVs to Ola.
The Product Range and Innovations
Hero’s Vida V1 Plus and V1 Pro are the practical workhorses: they are rated for a range between 85 and110 kilometers and have a top speed of about 80 km/h. Other electric motorcycles and multiple variants of scooters featuring fast charging and improved range are expected to be launched by Hero in 2025.

Pricing and Value for Money
The scooters are slightly more premium compared to Ola, but they have the features that any City dweller would appreciate.

Both brands probably compete fairly within the Rs 1-1.5 lakh price segment because of their different subsidies and offers.
