Hero MotoCorp has expanded its electric mobility portfolio with the launch of a special edition scooter under its Vida brand. The new Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition is inspired by the popular Kolkata Knight Riders and features a unique design based on the team’s signature purple and gold colours.
KKR-Inspired Design and Styling
The Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition stands out with its bold and premium design. The scooter features a pearl black base colour combined with a golden halftone gradient and micro-dot patterns. Special design elements also highlight the team’s three IPL championship wins, making it a collector’s item for cricket fans.
However, it is important to note that this is purely a cosmetic upgrade. There are no mechanical changes compared to the standard VX2 Plus model.
Availability and Limited Edition Benefits
This special edition scooter will be available at select Vida dealerships across India. As part of a unique promotional strategy, the company has also announced that the scooter may be awarded to KKR players when the team wins matches during the IPL season.
Performance and Range
The Vida VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition offers solid performance for daily commuting. The electric scooter delivers a claimed range of up to 142 km on a single charge, making it suitable for city rides and short intercity travel.
It can reach a top speed of 80 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 40 km/h in just 3.1 seconds, ensuring quick pickup in traffic conditions.
Battery and Charging
One of the key highlights of this scooter is its removable battery system. Users can easily take out the battery and charge it at home, which is especially useful for people living in apartments.
Charging details include:
- Fast charging: 0 to full in approximately 62 minutes
- Standard AC charging: around 4 hours 13 minutes
This flexibility makes it convenient for different types of users.

These features enhance the overall riding experience while keeping the scooter tech-friendly.

The scooter is also available with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option. Under this model, customers can subscribe to the battery separately, reducing the upfront cost to around ₹70,000 (ex-showroom).
