Kinetic Engineering Ltd. (KEL) has marked its comeback in the two-wheeler segment with the launch of the all-new Kinetic DX EV, proudly made in India and introduced through its dedicated EV arm, Kinetic Watts and Volts Ltd. (KWV). Revered for generations for its innovation, practicality, and timeless design, the DX makes a comeback as a next-generation electric scooter that fuses its classic appeal with cutting-edge technology. Designed in collaboration with Italian designers, the new DX retains the original DNA of the beloved scooter while presenting itself as a stylish, versatile, and family-friendly EV.
The all-new Kinetic DX EV stays true to its roots with a strong metal body and spacious floorboard. It also gets biggest in class 37-litre under-seat storage, enough to carry 1 full and 1 half helmet along with some daily essentials, owing to the additional cubby sections underneath. The most important feature is the LFP battery with 2.6 kWh Maximum capacity, made by Range-X, which has up to 4 times more life (2500 to 3500+ cycles) than other NMC battery powered scooters in India, making it a safer option with better thermal sensitivity. The battery is slated to give an estimated IDC range of 116kms on the DX +, due to its K-Coast regenerative technology and a 60V system for maximum efficiency. It also sports a peppy motor capable of churning up to 90 km/hr with 3 modes (Range, Power, Turbo).
Both models, the Kinetic DX and DX+ come with reverse and hill hold features. Comfort is taken care of with front telescopic and adjustable rear shock absorbers, while safety is kept in check with 220mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brake with combi-braking.
Speaking about the vision behind the DX EV, Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman, Kinetic India said, “The legendary Kinetic DX set so many firsts back in the ’90s, that it earned a permanent place in the hearts of millions. Reviving this icon was about more than just launching a scooter, it was about bringing back the reliability, innovation, and robustness that defined Kinetic for decades, giving it a future-ready soul. With the new DX, we’ve introduced multiple segment-first features that we’re confident, will make it a favourite in the new era of electric mobility. This marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for Kinetic and for the evolution of electric mobility in India.
The Kinetic DX EV range gets a dedicated mobile app, while the DX+ elevates the rider experience further with advanced Telekinetic features, including real-time ride stats and vehicle data, Geo-fencing, Intruder alert, Find My Kinetic, Track My Kinetic and many more. The scooter has been given a persona with My Kiney Companion Voice Alerts, where the scooter greets and alerts the user on safety, functionality as well as wishes him or her their birthday! Both variants come equipped with a dedicated Kinetic Assist switch for instant CRM connect via Bluetooth. Other Bluetooth enabled features include music and voice navigation through a built-in speaker.
