Hero VIDA Launches VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition Electric Scooter
Hero MotoCorp’s EV brand VIDA has introduced a special VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition electric scooter, bringing together electric mobility and cricket fandom during the IPL season.
The scooter was officially unveiled on March 25, 2026, at the Knights Unplugged 3.0 event in New Delhi, in the presence of the full Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad. The limited edition model will be available for purchase through select VIDA dealerships across India.
From my perspective, this is a clever marketing move. Rather than simply placing a logo on a vehicle, VIDA has built an entire campaign around the IPL season that keeps the product visible throughout the tournament.
Quick Highlights:
- VIDA VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition unveiled at Knights Unplugged 3.0 in New Delhi.
- Features Knight Purple and Gold design inspired by the Kolkata Knight Riders.
- Introduces “Electrifying Player of the Match” initiative for every KKR victory.
- Based on the standard VX2 Plus with 142 km range and 80 km/h top speed.

KKR-Inspired Design and Styling
The VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition stands out primarily through its distinctive styling.
The scooter uses a pearl black base layered with golden halftone gradients and micro-dotted patterns, creating a dynamic visual effect across the body panels. VIDA has integrated Knight Purple and Gold, the official colors of the Kolkata Knight Riders, into the scooter’s design.
A subtle yet meaningful touch comes from three accent marks on the bodywork, representing KKR’s three IPL championship titles.
Despite the themed design, the scooter retains the clean, modern silhouette of the standard VX2 Plus, including:
- LED headlamp with integrated indicators
- LED daytime running lights (DRLs)
- Minimalist electric scooter styling
VIDA is also offering a limited-edition KKR helmet in the same color scheme alongside the scooter.
“Electrifying Player of the Match” Initiative
Beyond the scooter itself, VIDA has introduced a unique IPL-linked campaign.
Under the “Electrifying Player of the Match” initiative:
- Every time KKR wins a match, one player will receive a customized VX2 Plus KKR Limited Edition scooter.
- The winning player will be chosen by KKR team management.
- Each scooter will feature the player’s name and jersey number.
- The vehicle will be handed over during a post-match ceremony.
In my opinion, this approach is more engaging than typical sponsorships because it ties the product directly to on-field performance, ensuring the partnership remains visible throughout the IPL season.
