How the Vida V1 Pro, India's home-grown electric scooter, set a new Guinness World Record, powered by batteries and grit

The power and the glory

Records are meant to broken. And if it's a Guinness World Record, it's a shot at making history. History was made on a hot April day at Hero MotoCorp's state-of-the-art test track in Rajasthan. Six riders took turns to ride a Vida V1 Pro electric scooter continuously for 24 hours, covering a distance of 1,780 kms to grab a new world title for the maximum distance covered by an electric scooter in 24 hours. It smashes the previous record of 1430 kms set last October in Europe by a Seat electric scooter. In fact, the Vida V1 Pro cruised past Seat's figure in the 19th hour. By the end of 24 hours, it was 350 kms ahead.

I was chuffed to be the seventh rider (for the final 20 minutes) to bring home the Vida V1 Pro and set the final distance record.
