VIDA, the electric mobility brand of Hero MotoCorp, on Friday, introduced the DIRT.E K3, an electric motorcycle designed for children aged 4–10 years. The introductory price is ₹69,990 for the first 300 units.Pawan Munjal, Executive Chairman at Hero MotoCorp, said, “When we created VIDA, our purpose was to reimagine the Future of Mobility for a new generation—mobility that is clean, connected and deeply conscious.”

Three ride modes—Beginner at 8 km/h, Amateur at 16 km/h, and Pro at 25 km/h—support progressive learning. The product also references Low, Mid, and High modes with similar staged limits.The company also said that the parents can control speed settings, lock modes, adjust acceleration, and track ride data through a connected smartphone app.

Key components include a 16-inch spoked wheel, a single rear hydraulic disc brake, and an adjustable frame that changes height and wheelbase across the three size stages.

Safety elements include an over-molded wiring harness, a child-scaled brake lever, impact-absorbing parts, and a magnetic lanyard kill switch that cuts power if the rider becomes separated.

Additional features include removable footpegs, a handlebar chest pad, and a rear motor cover. Optional accessories include a front brake, larger wheels, rear suspension, larger front suspension, and road-spec tyres.

The motorcycle was conceptualised, designed, and developed at Hero Tech Centre Germany and the Centre of Innovation and Technology in Jaipur. Production will take place at the VIDA electric vehicle line in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.
