Kinetic Electric Scooter: What To Expect?
As seen in the spy shots, the test mule has been covered completely. The report says the e-scooter was spotted testing at modest city speeds, around 45-50 kmph. The overall design looks funky and futuristic with sharp panels and an LED headlight placed in the lower half of the front. Additionally, the big seat with a large footboard area is also visible. The rider seems to be at comfort with his back relaxed, as per the photos.
Some other interesting details include the 12-inch blacked-out alloy wheels, a disc and drum brake setup, and a hub-mounted electric motor. The disc-drum brake means it'll not get an ABS unit but we can expect a CBS (combined braking system). Moreover, the hub-mounted motor hints that it'll get a decent performance package and a possible real-world range of 90-100 km.
By the looks of it, this funky e-scooter is going to target young consumers. Hence, it is likely to get the latest features like a TFT console, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, ride modes, and even regen modes. As there are no further details available regarding it currently, we assume that it'll be launched around the upcoming festive season. Considering the package it'll offer, its primary rivals will be the Ola S1 Pro and Ather 450X. The expected price can be somewhere around Rs 1 lakh.

Verdict
Earlier this year, Kinetic E-Luna made its entry in the EV two-wheeler world. The iconic design of the utility moped, mixed with a usable range and EV tech, all of it made it a unique offering in the segment. However, Kinetic still lacks in the proper e-scooter category with a premium appeal. Hence, this upcoming e-scooter can change this situation soon. Tell us about your thoughts on this new upcoming EV by Kinetic below.
