The Vida V1 Pro can reach 40 kilometers per hour in 3.2 seconds, while the V1 Plus needs 3.4 seconds. The top speed of both scooters is 80 kmph.
What characteristics does the Vida V1 electric scooter offer?
The Vida V1 has a lot of features, including cruise control, riding modes, keyless entry, SOS warning, follow-me-home headlamps, find-me lights, all-around LED lighting, and more. The big under-seat storage in the Vida V1 also gives the impression that it is highly functional.
A 7-inch TFT screen with smart linked functions is also available for the rider. The scooters are capable of receiving over-the-air (OTA) updates, so there is a chance that they will improve and obtain more functions in the future. Additionally, Vida added a boost mode for speedy overtakes, a two-way throttle, and a reverse assist to the scooter.
The scooter's top speed is capped at 10 kmph by a limp home safety feature, and it should be able to travel up to 8 km on an almost dead battery.
