Remember the good old Kinetic DX? The scooter that was the pride of the ’90s is back—only now, it’s zipping around as a smart, all-electric ride. Kinetic, a name that sparks up instant nostalgia, is jumping back into the two-wheeler market with its brand-new Kinetic DX EV lineup. If you’re eyeing one, better move fast. Bookings are already open (just ₹1,000 at kineticev.in), but only 35,000 units will be up for grabs in this launch batch, with deliveries starting September 2025.
The scooter comes in two variants—DX (in black and silver) at ₹1,11,499 and the premium DX+ (in red, blue, white, silver, and black) at ₹1,17,499 (ex-showroom, Pune). And both models are kitted out with comfort-focused bits like telescopic front forks, adjustable rear shocks, reverse mode, hill hold, and combi-brakes for safety.
Old-timers and new riders alike are sure to get a kick out of this. The new DX is a perfect mix of retro charm and snazzy tech—the design still rocks that familiar silhouette, but with a cool Italian twist. It’s built to last, with Kinetic’s trademark metal body, spacious feel, and an absolutely massive 37-litre under-seat storage. That’s enough for a full helmet, a half one, and whatever else life throws your way.
What’s New? Loads!
Kinetic isn’t just banking on the nostalgia, though. The DX EV packs some segment-first features:
- Easy Key: No more fumbling with keys—just unlock and go.
- Easy Charge (on the DX+): An innovative retractable charging cable that’s super-slick; just pull it out and plug in.
- Easy Flip: Pillion footrest deploys at the touch of a button.
Battery Tech: Built to Last
Under the hood (err…footboard?), the DX EV uses a 2.6 kWh LFP battery—good for an estimated 116 km on a single charge (DX+ variant), thanks to clever regenerative braking and a peppy motor that can touch 90 km/h. It’s safe too, with up to 4 times the battery life compared to most other scooters in its segment.
Smarter Than Ever
The DX EV isn’t just about good looks. Tech gets a big push:
- There’s a dedicated mobile app for both variants.
- The DX+ brings in advanced telematics: geo-fencing, ride stats, ‘Find My Kinetic’, and more.
- My Kiney Companion handles voice alerts, navigation, and even wishes you on your birthday.
- Bluetooth brings music, navigation, and instant CRM assist right to your handlebar.
Kinetic clearly isn’t pulling any punches—backed by serious investment, the company is on a mission to make electric mobility nostalgic, cool, and future-ready. With the DX EV, it’s not just a comeback; it’s a time machine to the future, wrapped up in a metal shell that once ruled the roads.
