Introduction

Kinetic was a name that dominated India’s two-wheeler market, particularly in the 90s, with the iconic Kinetic Honda. It was among the first scooters in India to provide self-start and gearless convenience, which made it a favorite across generations in every household. The brand lost its place in the sun gradually as new players and technology entered the market. But now, Kinetic is staging a grand return under the umbrella of Kinetic Green, and it’s doing it electrically—with the all-new Kinetic DX Electric Scooter.

This scooter signals the brand’s re-emergence, fusing retro with futurism. With a reported range of more than 100 kilometers and a base ex-showroom price of Rs 1.11 lakh, the Kinetic DX is focused squarely on contemporary urban travelers in search of dependable, sustainable transport. Its styling has subtle retro references yet assumes an electric future orientation, setting it up to be a standout in India’s burgeoning EV scooter segment.

Range, Charging, and Real-World Usability

The Kinetic DX electric scooter has a claimed IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range of more than 100 km on a single charge. In everyday usage—in real-world conditions with a pillion passenger, regular traffic, and stop-and-go riding—the range is likely to get around 80–90 km, depending on the ride mode and road conditions. This positions it perfectly for short to medium range city rides without worrying about daily Charging.

Home charging the DX is easy and convenient. It facilitates standard 5A home socket charging, which charges the scooter to full capacity within 4–5 hours. Fast-charging options may be available with future releases or accessories. The scooter is compatible with most universal portable power chargers and can be fast-charged at public EV charging points supporting two-wheeler ports. While it doesn’t rely on a vast third-party network yet, growing infrastructure in cities ensures you’re never too far from a top-up option.

Final Thoughts: Should You Buy the Kinetic DX?

The Kinetic DX is a bold comeback for the legendary Indian brand, combining contemporary EV usability with a retro aesthetic. LFP battery technology, and must-have urban amenities such as reverse assist, digital console, and app connectivity, the DX has a lot to offer riders seeking a reliable electric scooter for everyday city commuting. Its winning points are its well-balanced performance, distinctive styling, and familiarity with the brand.

But it does step into a very competitive space led by feature-touted players such as Ola, Ather, and TVS, which can deliver more speed or technology at the same price. Sparse dealership reach in certain areas may also impinge on access to service and test rides for the moment.

The Kinetic DX is ideally suited for urban commuters, students, and short-distance riders who prioritize simplicity, predictable range, and retro styling from a familiar Indian brand name. If you want an everyman EV with retro-modern styling and nothing extraneous to complicate, the Kinetic DX is an outlier worth considering.
