New Kinetic Electric Scooter Design: A Nostalgic Twist With a Modern Edge.
The design of the New Kinetic Electric Scooter takes inspiration from the old Kinetic Honda ZX. From the front, the front fender and sleek apron evoke old memories, just with a modern polish.
The headlight is mounted on the handlebar, in a rectangular shape, and there are indicators on the sides that look like the Kinetic logo. There’s also a faux flyscreen above the headlight that prominently shows the KINETIC lettering – a classy retro touch.
The ORVMs are square, and the floorboard looks quite spacious too. The side panels are minimalistic, bringing to mind the old ZX. The grab rail at the rear is a chunky single-piece unit, and yes, there’s no rear spare wheel like the original model had.
Specs: Modern Features Wrapped in Legacy.
While the specs haven’t been officially revealed yet, the patent images do reveal some details. The alloy wheels are almost a 3-spoke design, and the front wheel gets disc brakes, though that’s a little unclear.
The facility developed by Kinetic Watts and Volts suggests that the battery and controller tech are being developed in-house. This new Kinetic Electric Scooter strikes a balance between design and utility, ideal for today’s urban family riders.
Performance: New Player Entering The Family Segment?
This kinetic electric scooter from Kinetic directly targets mainstream family electric scooters. Competitors like TVS iQube, Hero Vida, Ola S1, and Ather Rizta are already popular in the segment.
But Kinetic’s trump card could be its retro design and emotional connection with the old generation of users. The company’s focus is clearly on the mass market, where reliability and comfort are equally important, along with high performance.
Production & Manufacturing: Solid Groundwork Already in Place.
Kinetic Watts and Volts Ltd has recently inaugurated a new manufacturing plant in Ahilya Nagar, Maharashtra. This facility has been specifically designed to make electric scooters and their components.
This signals that the company has come up with a long-term strategy, not just as an experiment. There are high chances that this New Kinetic e-Scooter will be launched under the Kinetic Green vertical, which is already selling products like E-Zulu, Zing, and E Luna in the market.
New Kinetic Electric Scooter Launch Date in India.
The official launch timeline has not been announced yet, but after the design patent is submitted, the next logical step will be prototype testing and certification.
Industry experts believe that this Kinetic Upcoming Electric Scooter could be launched by the end of 2025 or in the first half of 2026.
It will also be interesting to see whether Kinetic will launch it under a new brand or just under the name of Kinetic Green.
Price: Most Affordable Retro-Electric Yet?
Looking at the existing line-up of Kinetic Green, it seems that the company will choose aggressive pricing. This new Kinetic Electric Scooter can also be in the price bracket of TVS iQube and Ola S1 – that is, between the expected Rs 90,000 to Rs 1.2 lakh (ex-showroom).
If this scooter comes with a nostalgic design, modern features, and a competitive price, it will definitely create a buzz in the market. The price positioning will decide whether it will be able to convert the nostalgia factor into sales or not.
Is Kinetic Ready to Electrify India Again?
Kinetic’s legacy looks quite strong in the Indian market. Now that they are re-entering the electric scooter segment, their “New Kinetic Electric Scooter” looks like a symbolic comeback.
Nostalgia in design, modern infrastructure in production, and a ready approach to performance – all these combine to make this scooter an exciting EV launch. So, are you ready to witness the magic of Kinetic once again on Indian roads?
