New Kinetic Electric Scooter Design Patented; Launch Soon?
It seems like Kinetic Watts and Volts is working on a new electric scooter and from the look at the design patent that the company has filed, the upcoming Kinetic electric scooter will look a lot like the iconic Kinetic Honda of the 80s and the 90s. The front apron, headlight and the rearview mirrors along with the tiny windscreen with the word 'Kinetic' written on it, all hark back to the Kinetic Honda. The other design elements include a long and wide seat along with decent footboard space. 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. Kinetic Watts and Volts (KWV), recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ahilya Nagar, Maharashtra. Spread across 87,000 square feet, the new plant is set to become the cornerstone of the company's electric vehicle expansion strategy. The facility has been designed to support scalable and sustainable production, incorporating advanced automation, precision assembly lines, and digitised operations.

Ather Energy To Double Its Retail Network Across India By FY26
Ather Energy, one of India's leading electric two-wheeler manufacturers, has announced a major expansion of its retail footprint with plans to scale up to 700 Experience Centres (ECs) across the country by the end of FY2026. The move will nearly double Ather's existing network, significantly enhancing accessibility for customers looking to experience, test ride, and purchase its electric scooters. The expansion is driven by the strong market response to the Ather Rizta. Since its launch less than a year ago, the Rizta has crossed 1 lakh units in retail sales, broadening Ather's appeal beyond its traditional performance-oriented audience. The scooter now accounts for nearly 60 per cent of Ather's overall sales, helping the brand make inroads into previously untapped markets. States such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, and Chhattisgarh have emerged as high-growth territories for Ather, thanks to the Rizta's growing popularity. The company aims to triple its store count in Northern India, while also aggressively expanding in Eastern and Western regions. Till March 31, 2025, Ather operated 351 ECs in India, along with 24 international centres in Nepal and Sri Lanka. Roughly 46 per cent of its retail presence is currently concentrated in Southern India, where the brand initially established its base. In parallel with its retail network expansion, Ather continues to strengthen its EV ecosystem. The company operates over 3,578 fast-charging points across the country through the Ather Grid, India's largest fast-charging network for two-wheelers. Ather is also scaling up its service infrastructure, including the introduction of Gold Service Centres in major cities and its Express Care service, which enables customers to complete periodic maintenance in under 60 minutes. Ather currently runs two plants in Hosur, Tamil Nadu-one for vehicle assembly and another for battery production. A third facility is under development in Bidkin, AURIC (Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar), Maharashtra, which will boost the company's total manufacturing capacity to 1.42 million electric two-wheelers annually.
