Powered by a 350W motor paired with a 360Wh removable battery, it offers up to 3 hours of riding time depending on terrain and mode, and charges from 20-80% in about 2 hours.

They come with smart connected features including the My VIDA app, navigation, geo-fencing, call/SMS alerts, and OTA updates. These features are designed to support everyday commuters in Nepal with robust performance and an optimal range.
