Hero’s Vida Patents Ubex Electric Motorcycle Design in India

The design filing signals a pivot from the show concept toward a more practical package.

Overview

  • Patent images point to a toned-down take on the EICMA 2025 Ubex concept with a projector headlamp, conventional telescopic forks, a stepped single-piece seat and a compact tail.
  • The bike appears to use an integrated motor-and-battery module paired with a separate trellis frame, rather than a battery-as-structure layout.
  • Running gear looks conservative with single disc brakes at both ends and a chain final drive, suggesting a focus on manageable output.
  • Hero has not disclosed power, range or a launch timeline, and the filing does not confirm when the motorcycle will reach showrooms.
  • The Ubex effort sits alongside Vida’s patented VXZ project co-developed with Zero, positioning the brand for electric motorcycles as domestic rivals prepare their own EVs.
