The Vida Z looks to feature a more toned-down design as compared to the Vida V1’s sharp and edgy looks. The front apron is smoother and more rounded and in conjunction with the lower side panels flanking the footboard seemingly forms one single piece. The rectangular headlamp is integrated into the apron with the Vida-unique DRL patterning also featured. The handlebar cowl meanwhile features a dual-tone finish with a black lower section.

The side panels under the seat too are rounded and smooth with an integrated rear tail lamp while the seat is a single-piece saddle and features a small backrest mounted to the rear grab handle. The overall design is akin to a generic commuter scooter with some orange highlights thrown in to liven things up.

Moving to the features, Vida says that the Z gets removable batteries for ease of charging along with tech such as a touchscreen TFT instrument display, a suite of connected features and over-the-air updates.
