Launches DX Electric Scooter at ₹1.11 Lakh: Classic Legacy, Electric Future
Pune — In a powerful return to the Indian mobility landscape, Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions Ltd. has launched its much-awaited DX Electric Scooter, reviving the charm of the iconic Kinetic Honda DX of the 1980s with a modern electric twist. Priced at ₹1.11 lakh for the base variant and ₹1.17 lakh for the premium DX+, the electric two-wheeler is set to redefine nostalgia with smart innovation.
🔋 Retro Looks, Electric Heart
At first glance, the Kinetic DX is a beautiful homage to its predecessor. The full-metal body, squared-off panels, classic silhouette, and hexagonal headlamp all scream vintage — but under the hood, it’s future-ready.
With a 4.8 kW hub-mounted BLDC motor and a 2.6 kWh LFP battery, the DX delivers not only on style but also on sustainability. The lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) battery promises longevity of up to 3,500 charging cycles, far outpacing typical lithium-ion counterparts.
🛣️ Range & Ride: Built for Urban India
- DX+ variant offers a certified range of 116 km and a top speed of 90 km/h
- The base DX gives you 102 km range with an 80 km/h speed cap
- Real-world conditions? Use Cruise Lock Mode to squeeze up to 150 km per charge by maintaining a steady 25–30 km/h speed — ideal for city commutes.
Charging is equally user-friendly. From 0–80% in just 3 hours, and a full charge in under 4 hours, it’s built for daily use without range anxiety.
