Hero MotoCorp has officially launched the Dirt.E K3, a groundbreaking size-adjustable electric motorcycle designed specifically for children aged 4-10 years. The launch marks VIDA's entry into the off-road segment under the new Dirt.E product line, combining electric performance with innovative adaptability features.

Product Innovation and Design

The Dirt.E K3 features a revolutionary three-stage adjustable system that transforms the motorcycle across Small, Medium, and Large configurations using a single tool. This addresses the common issue of children quickly outgrowing their motorcycles while maintaining consistent ergonomics throughout multiple years of growth.

Safety and Performance Features

Safety remains paramount in the Dirt.E K3's design. The motorcycle incorporates multiple safety mechanisms including a magnetic lanyard-based kill switch that immediately cuts power if the rider becomes separated from the vehicle. Additional safety features include over-moulded wiring harness for durability, child-scaled brake lever, and impact-absorbing components.

The electric drivetrain delivers smooth, linear torque ensuring safe and predictable riding experiences. Parents can customize the learning experience through app-enabled controls that manage speed limits, lock riding modes, and provide oversight during training sessions.

International Recognition and Development

The Dirt.E K3 has received significant international acclaim, earning the Red Dot Design Award 2025 and the CES Innovation Award Honoree 2026. The motorcycle was conceptualized, designed, and developed at Hero Tech Centre Germany (HTCG) and the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur, showcasing Hero MotoCorp's global engineering capabilities.

Pricing and Market Availability

VIDA has opened Expressions of Interest for the Dirt.E K3 on its website vidaworld.com. The motorcycle will be available in three colors: Red, Purple, and White.

According to Kausalya Nandakumar, Chief Business Officer - Emerging Mobility Business Unit at Hero MotoCorp, "Dirt.E K3 represents a new beginning in how young riders engage with motorcycling. Our goal was to design a product that adapts as they grow, enabling confident, responsible and joyful exploration."
