The battery is slated to give an estimated IDC range of 116kms on the DX +, due to its K-Coast regenerative technology and a 60V system for maximum efficiency. It also sports a peppy motor capable of churning up to 90 km/hr with 3 modes (Range, Power, Turbo).Both models, the Kinetic DX and DX+ come with reverse and hill hold features. Comfort is taken care of with front telescopic and adjustable rear shock absorbers, while safety is kept in check with 220mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brake with combi-braking.
Ajinkya Firodia, Vice Chairman, Kinetic India said, “The legendary Kinetic DX set so many firsts back in the ’90s, that it earned a permanent place in the hearts of millions. Reviving this icon was about more than just launching a scooter, it was about bringing back the reliability, innovation, and robustness that defined Kinetic for decades, giving it a future-ready soul. With the new DX, we’ve introduced multiple segment-first features that we’re confident, will make it a favourite in the new era of electric mobility. This marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for Kinetic and for the evolution of electric mobility in India.
The Kinetic DX EV range gets a dedicated mobile app, while the DX+ elevates the rider experience further with advanced Telekinetic features, including real-time ride stats and vehicle data, Geo-fencing, Intruder alert, Find My Kinetic, Track My Kinetic and many more. The scooter has been given a persona with My Kiney Companion Voice Alerts, where the scooter greets and alerts the user on safety, functionality as well as wishes him or her their birthday! Both variants come equipped with a dedicated Kinetic Assist switch for instant CRM connect via Bluetooth. Other Bluetooth enabled features include music and voice navigation through a built-in speaker.
Kinetic Watts and Volts has already been capitalised with Rs 72 crore through KEL and the promoters. Demonstrating their unwavering commitment, the promoters have recently pledged an additional Rs 177 crores in KEL, with a significant portion dedicated to scaling up the DX platform.
