Two Variants, Two Battery Options
The VIDA VX2 Go comes with a 2.2kWh single battery pack, delivering an IDC-rated range of 92km. The VX2 Plus features dual removable battery packs with a total capacity of 3.4kWh, offering an impressive 142km range on a full charge.

Performance and Charging
Both variants support fast charging, with a 0–80% top-up achievable in just one hour using a fast charger. A standard bundled charger completes the same in approximately six hours.
