Hero Vida Sway: A New Concept Trike Set To Redefine Electric Mobility In India
Hero MotoCorp’s concept Vida Sway electric trike doesn’t move away entirely from the Vida V1 in terms of design. But it has one striking change that distinct it from the conventional electric scooters. The Hero Vida Sway concept is showcased with two front wheels instead of a single as offered by the V1 series e-scooters.
Except for this, the remaining design language of the Vida Sway is identical to the Vida V1 e-scooter. This includes the same headlamp design, side panels, and even paint scheme. The dual front wheel setup is claimed to offer better balanced rides as compared to traditional two-wheeler scooters.
As per the reports. Honda engineers have re-worked the design to incorporate the dual front wheels with an independent suspension module. This mean each of the front wheel of the Vida Sway has a dedicated suspension system. Also, disc brakes will be integrated on each of the front wheel for effective braking.
The Hero Vida Sway concept trike has been loaded with a 7-inch digital instrument console with touchscreen compatibility. The flat floorboard and seats are also borrowed from the standard Vida V1 electric scooter.

Changes In Powertrain
Well, it seems that only the design have been reworked with the Vida Sway. This concept trike is expected to retain the same powertrain as well from the Vida V1. But we might see a slight difference in the range considering the Vida Sway will have a little more kerb weight compared to the two-wheel Vida V1.
Conclusion
While the two-wheelers have been a hit amongst the Indian consumers, tikes are yet to become a standard personal commute option in the country. But we are witnessing a gradual shift in this department too. Masses are readily upgrading to the greener mobility solution and this does open up opportunities for non-conventional vehicle design.
