New Kinetic Electric Scooter Design Patented; Launch Soon?
Other detail highlights include side panels that are similar to the ones on the old Kinetic Honda and a rather thick grab-handle at the rear. From what we understand, this will be a family scooter so the focus will be on practicality and comfort, rather than performance. Specifications like range, battery size and motor capacity will be revealed closer to the launch. When launched, the new Kinetic EV will go up against the likes of the Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and the Ola S1 X.

Spread across 87,000 square feet, the new plant is set to become the cornerstone of the company's electric vehicle expansion strategy.

Iconic Kinetic DX to make a comeback in India on July 28, to come as an electric scooter
Kinetic DX is one of the iconic scooters in India that is ready to make a comeback in the country, and this time in a pure electric guise. The Kinetic Green DX is slated for debut on July 28, 2025. This is going to be Kinetic's second attempt at reviving a legacy nameplate after the brand announced that it will bring the E-Luna, which will be an all-electric avatar of the iconic moped. While Kinetic has already patented the E-Luna in India ahead of the electric moped's slated launch in India during the festive season this year, the auto company has teased the DX electric scooter ahead of its debut next Monday. The original Kinetic DX scooter was built between 1984 and 2007 by a joint venture between India's Kinetic Engineering and Japan's Honda Motor Company. The Kinetic DX was actually based on the Honda NH Series scooters and powered by a 98 cc two-stroke, air-cooled engine. However, the new one will be a complete departure from that as it will come as an all-electric model instead. Kinetic Green, a subsidiary of the Kinetic Group, had recently submitted the design patent for the new DX electric scooter. The design patent application of the EV reveals a striking resemblance to the original Kinetic Honda DX. Visually, it looks almost identical, except for the new Kinetic Green logo on the front apron and a rectangular LED headlamp cluster that gets the same design but with fresh LED DRLs. Side panels have been changed to look like the original model, and the rear profile comes with a new grab rail, as compared to the spare tyre, which used to be found on the original model. The 'Kinetic' logo is displayed on the flyscreen of the design patent, as compared to the 'Kinetic Honda' on the original scooter. Kinetic has kept the technical details under wraps. However, expect the model to be a family-focused EV with a good blend of performance and range. There are no details on the launch of the EV as of now, but we look forward to Kinetic releasing more information in the near future. Upon launch, it will challenge rivals such as Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Ola S1 X, etc.
