Hero Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition Launched — Where Cricket Passion Meets Electric Power
India’s love affair with cricket is legendary, and Hero MotoCorp knows exactly how to tap into that passion. Just ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, the company’s electric mobility brand, Vida, has unveiled a scooter that’s equal parts performance machine and collector’s piece — the Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition, officially known as the Knight Edition.
This isn’t just a scooter draped in team colours. It’s a carefully crafted tribute to one of cricket’s most iconic franchises — the Kolkata Knight Riders — wrapped around one of India’s most capable electric scooters.
A Unique Collaboration: VIDA × KKR
India is a country where cricket is more than just a sport—it’s an emotion. Recognizing this deep connection, VIDA has partnered with KKR to create a product that resonates with millions of fans.
This isn’t just a branding exercise. The VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition represents a fusion of sports passion and sustainable mobility. Inspired by KKR’s “fearless and championship spirit,” the scooter carries visual elements that symbolize power, legacy, and performance.
Moreover, VIDA has introduced a unique initiative called the “Electrifying Player of the Match”, where standout KKR players will receive customized versions of this scooter with their name and jersey number.
Design: Bold, Purposeful, and Fan-Ready
The KKR Limited Edition’s standout quality is undoubtedly its appearance. The newly launched Knight Edition features a Pearl Black paint scheme with KKR-inspired Knight Purple and Gold livery, complete with a golden halftone gradient and micro-dotted patterns that blend seamlessly into the pearl black body colour.
The design also incorporates three accent marks as a distinctive highlight, symbolising the three IPL championship titles won by the franchise. These subtle but meaningful touches make the scooter feel less like a marketing exercise and more like a genuine celebration of the team’s legacy.
KKR stickers are placed across various parts of the scooter, complementing the youthful design with a distinctive, sporty appeal. At the front, the KKR emblem sits alongside the signature LED headlamps and integrated DRLs, giving the scooter a commanding road presence.
Buyers also receive a limited-edition KKR-themed helmet finished in matching purple and gold. It’s a complete package — whether you’re riding through the city or heading to the stadium.

Performance: Built for the Road, Not Just the Eye
The KKR edition doesn’t compromise on the things that matter under the skin. It retains all the engineering excellence of the standard VX2 Plus.
The Vida VX2 KKR Edition is powered by two removable batteries with a total capacity of 3.4 kWh, offering a claimed IDC range of 142 km on a single charge. That’s more than enough for daily urban commuting and weekend rides combined.
The scooter is driven by an electric motor delivering 8.04 BHP, enabling a top speed of 80 km/h and a 0–40 km/h sprint in just 3.1 seconds. Three riding modes — Eco, Ride, and Sport — let you tailor the performance to suit your mood, whether you’re conserving range or channelling your inner Rinku Singh on a quiet stretch.
Charging from 0 to 80% takes around 60–62 minutes with a fast charger, while a full charge via the standard charger takes over four hours. With over 4,600 fast-charging stations across India, top-ups on the go are increasingly convenient.
Features & Practicality
The Vida VX2 Plus KKR Edition comes loaded with everyday-use features that make it a smart, not just stylish, buy.
It features a 4.3-inch TFT display, 12-inch alloy wheels, a Combined Braking System with front disc and rear drum brakes, phone charging, all LED lighting, and OTA (Over-the-Air) software update compatibility.
For connectivity, there’s turn-by-turn navigation, SOS alerts, and call and music controls built into the display system. On the practical side, the scooter offers 27.2 litres of under-seat storage along with an additional front storage frunk for smaller essentials. The battery also comes with an IP67 rating, making it dust and water-resistant — ideal for India’s varied road conditions.
The ‘Electrifying Player of the Match’ Initiative
Beyond the scooter itself, Vida has introduced a unique fan engagement programme tied to IPL 2026. For every match won by the Kolkata Knight Riders, one KKR player will receive a customised VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition featuring that player’s name and jersey number, presented in a post-match handover ceremony. It’s a clever initiative that connects the on-field drama of cricket with the world of electric mobility — and keeps the brand top-of-mind throughout the tournament.
Price & Availability
The Vida VX2 KKR Edition is priced at ₹1.16 lakh (ex-showroom), which is ₹21,000 more than the standard variant priced at ₹94,800. Customers can also avail a subsidy on this electric scooter under the PM E-Drive scheme.
The scooter will be available in limited numbers at select Vida outlets. Given the exclusivity factor and IPL fever, stocks are unlikely to last long.
Final Verdict
The Hero Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition is a rare case of a brand collaboration that actually works. It delivers real electric performance, practical everyday features, and a design that carries cultural weight.
Whether you’re a die-hard KKR fan or simply someone who appreciates a limited-edition EV done right, this scooter earns its premium. It’s fast, it’s stylish, and it’s available only for a short time — much like a good IPL
