Hero's VIDA Launches Electric Dirt Bike for Kids With Performance Similar to Entry-Level Motorcycles

Hero’s electric sub-brand, VIDA, has introduced its first-ever electric dirt bike designed specifically for children. Named the VIDA Dirt.E K3, the model was initially showcased at the EICMA show earlier this year. Priced at ₹69,990 (ex-showroom), it costs nearly the same as the Hero HF Deluxe, making it an attractive option in the entry-level two-wheeler segment. The bike is purpose-built for young riders and beginners who want an off-road riding experience.

Designed for children between 4 and 10 years of age, the Dirt.E K3 focuses heavily on adaptability. Its most notable feature is its adjustable design: both the wheelbase and seat height can be modified as the child grows. The suspension too offers three settings—Small, Medium, and High—allowing the bike to stay comfortable and usable through different growth stages. This ensures the bike remains suitable for several years rather than becoming undersized quickly.

Battery and Range

The Dirt.E K3 is powered by a 360 Wh removable battery paired with a 500 W electric motor. To maintain safety for young riders, the top speed is capped at 25 kmph. Charging from 20% to 80% takes about two hours. The bike can deliver an average riding time of up to 23 hours on a single charge under typical usage conditions. It also comes with three riding modes—Beginner, Amateur, and Pro—allowing children to progressively upgrade their skill level, much like advancing levels in a video game.

Safety Features and Parental Controls

To help kids learn to ride confidently, the bike comes equipped with several safety-focused elements. A magnetic lanyard kill switch immediately cuts power if pulled, reducing the risk of accidents. Additional safety components include a chest pad, removable footpegs, brake rotor covers, and a rear grab rail, which also makes the bike easy to lift or transport in a car.

The Dirt.E K3 also features app-based connectivity, enabling parents to monitor and control various aspects of the bike. Using the mobile app, parents can set speed limits, track riding activity, and check overall bike usage.
