Hero MotoCorp’s electric vehicle brand, Vida, has unveiled the Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition, a special cricket-themed electric scooter designed exclusively for fans of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). The launch event, held ahead of the IPL 2026 season, was graced by KKR batsmen Rinku Singh and Ajinkya Rahane, who unveiled the stylish new variant.
The VX2 Plus KKR Edition is inspired by the “fearless spirit and championship legacy” of the Kolkata Knight Riders. It features a striking purple and gold livery — the signature colours of the IPL franchise — along with custom graphics, decals, and championship-inspired detailing that give the scooter a bold, premium, and sporty appeal. Buyers will also receive a matching limited-edition KKR-themed helmet as part of the package.
The Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition is priced at ₹1.16 lakh (ex-showroom, after applicable PM E-Drive subsidy). It will be available in limited numbers across select Vida dealerships. The standard VX2 Plus is priced lower (around ₹94,800–₹1.10 lakh ex-showroom depending on offers and location), meaning the KKR Edition carries a modest premium for its exclusive styling and merchandise
Mechanically, the KKR Edition remains identical to the standard VX2 Plus. Key specifications include:
- Battery: 3.4 kWh removable battery pack (two swappable batteries for convenience)
- Claimed Range: Up to 142 km (IDC-certified)
- Top Speed: 80 kmph
- Acceleration: 0–40 kmph in quick time, suitable for city commuting
- Charging: 0–80% in approximately 4 hours 13 minutes; full charge in about 5 hours 39 minutes
- Motor: Efficient electric motor delivering peppy performance for daily use
The removable battery design is one of the biggest strengths of the VX2 series, allowing owners to charge the packs at home, office, or any convenient location without needing a dedicated charging point.
The scooter retains all the modern features of the VX2 Plus:
- 4.2-inch TFT digital display with Bluetooth connectivity
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Remote vehicle monitoring and real-time diagnostics via the Vida app
- LED headlamp with integrated indicators
- Tubeless tyres, front disc brake, and regenerative braking
- Smart connectivity features for enhanced convenience
By launching this special edition just before IPL 2026, Vida has cleverly tapped into the massive emotional connect Indian fans have with their favourite IPL teams. The purple-gold theme, combined with the energetic presence of popular KKR players Rinku Singh and Ajinkya Rahane, is expected to generate strong interest among cricket enthusiasts and young urban buyers looking for a stylish, eco-friendly daily commuter.
Rinku Singh and Ajinkya Rahane, both brand ambassadors for Vida, highlighted the scooter’s sporty aesthetics, practicality, and role in promoting sustainable mobility while celebrating the “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo” (We will do it, we will fight, we will win) spirit of KKR.
The Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition strengthens Hero MotoCorp’s push in the growing electric two-wheeler segment. With its combination of decent range, swappable batteries, modern features, and now a passionate fan-themed edition, the VX2 Plus aims to attract not just EV buyers but also cricket lovers who want their daily ride to reflect their team loyalty.
This limited-edition launch signals Vida’s strategy of using high-visibility partnerships and special editions to boost brand visibility and sales ahead of the festive and cricket season. Whether you’re a die-hard KKR supporter or simply looking for a feature-packed electric scooter with a unique personality, the VX2 Plus KKR Edition brings electric energy on wheels with a touch of IPL glamour.
