VIDA Shows UBX and Zero‑Backed VXZ Prototypes at EICMA 2026

The Milan reveals signal VIDA’s push into electric motorcycles while the company has not confirmed core powertrain specs or production dates.

Overview

  • VIDA displayed two more production‑oriented prototypes at EICMA 2026 in Milan: the UBX neo‑naked urban motorcycle and Project VXZ developed with US-based Zero Motorcycles.
  • Photos and on‑site displays reveal visible hardware such as upside‑down forks, a rear monoshock, disc brakes, chain (UBX) and belt (VXZ) final drives, and cockpit TFTs that show provisional remaining‑range readouts.
  • The TFT readouts shown on prototype screens (134 km at 80% for UBX and 150 km at 80% for VXZ) are being reported as visual clues only and have been extrapolated by media into approximate full‑charge ranges; VIDA has not verified those figures.
  • Hero VIDA announced it has begun European operations and started deliveries in 10 countries, and also confirmed the VIDA VX2 urban model with twin removable batteries and a 140 km WMTC Eco claim.
  • Key technical details remain undisclosed and timing is uncertain: VIDA has not published battery capacity, motor output, charging standards or formal launch dates, and outside reports that predict a 2027 UBX launch remain unconfirmed.
