Kinetic DX Electric Scooter Launched – Price, Range, Specs

Kinetic is Back with a Bang: Meet the All-New Electric DX Scooter!

Kinetic has just dropped its latest electric scooter, the DX, and it’s turning heads! Taking inspiration from the iconic two-stroke DX of the '90s, this electric avatar is a nostalgic yet modern ride. After the success of the e-Luna, the revamped DX feels like the perfect next step. While Kinetic already had some budget-friendly e-scooters, they lacked a distinct identity. But this one? It’s built specifically for India, and banking on the DX legacy is a smart move. Let’s dive into what makes this scooter special.

A Nod to the OG

The new Kinetic DX wears its heritage proudly. The design pays homage to the original petrol-powered DX with a retro-modern twist—think horizontal LED headlight, the classic Kinetic logo on the windscreen, and those sleek three-spoke alloy wheels. Even the switchgear feels familiar, including a square start button that’ll make old-school fans smile. Available in five colors (White, Black, Red, Blue, and Silver), the DX blends nostalgia with contemporary style effortlessly.

Battery, Motor, and Range: Packing a Punch

• Battery Capacity: 2.5kWh

• Claimed Range: 116km (DX+) and 102km (DX)

• Charging Speed: 0-50% in 2 hours, 0-80% in 3 hours, 0-100% in 4 hours

• Motor: Hub-mounted BLDC motor

• Power: 4.8kW (DX+) and 4.7kW (DX)

• Top Speed: 90kmph (DX+) and 80kmph (DX)

On paper, the DX holds its own against rivals like the Honda QC1, TVS iQube, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak, and Ola S1 X. With a solid range for city commutes and enough power for highway rides, it’s a well-rounded package.

Built Tough, Loaded with Space

• Wheels: 12-inch alloys

• Brakes: Front disc + rear drum

• Suspension: Telescopic fork + twin shock absorbers

• Underseat Storage: A massive 37 litres (Kinetic claims it’s the only scooter in the world that can fit both a full-face and half-face helmet together!)

• Ground Clearance: 165mm

Like the Chetak, Kinetic has stuck with a metal body for the DX, adding to its rugged charm. But the real standout? That huge underseat storage—practicality at its best.

Loaded with Features (But a Few Misses)

• 8-inch LCD console

• Bluetooth connectivity

• Hill-hold assist, regen braking, cruise control, reverse mode

• Three riding modes: Range, Power, Turbo

• Password-protected lock/unlock

• Button-operated passenger footpegs

• Retractable charging cable

• OTA updates

• LED lighting all around

Connected Features (DX+ only):

• Find My Kinetic,Track My Kinetic,Anti-Theft Alert

• Guide Me Home,Geo-Fencing Alert,Data Analytics

While the feature list is impressive, the DX does skip a TFT display with navigation, which would’ve been a nice touch. Still, for the price, it’s packing plenty of tech.
