THE NEXT CHAPTER IN MOBILITY: KINETIC DX
Kinetic is Back with an Electric Future
Kinetic, one of India’s most iconic two-wheeler brands, is back on the roads. This time, it returns with both nostalgia and innovation through the all-electric Kinetic DX.
For decades, Kinetic scooters were trusted companions for Indian families. With the DX, the brand reimagines its legendary ride for today’s urban commuters while keeping the heritage alive.
The DX is more than just another scooter in the EV market. It blends old-world charm with new-age technology and highlights the strength of India’s automotive ecosystem, supply chains, and auto parts manufacturers in Pune and across the country.
Heritage Meets Modern Design
At first glance, the Kinetic DX feels like a familiar friend. Its classic silhouette, sturdy all-metal body, and spacious flat floorboard recall the scooter that once defined Indian mobility.
Yet, the design has been refreshed in collaboration with Italian designers. The result is a scooter that looks modern while keeping its nostalgic appeal.
