Kinetic Engineering marks a significant milestone with the revival of its iconic DX badge in an all-electric avatar. The newly launched Kinetic DX and its feature-packed sibling, the DX+, offer a sleek blend of performance, modern features, and durability at an ex-showroom price of ₹1,11,499 and ₹1,17,499 respectively. Manufactured at the Ahmednagar facility under the Kinetic Watts and Volts EV venture, this launch represents a bold step in India’s evolving EV landscape.
Retro Legacy Meets Modern Innovation
Once a celebrated name in the petrol-powered commuter scooter segment of the 1990s, the Kinetic DX has returned with a 21st-century makeover. This time, it’s all about electric. Designed for reliability, convenience, and sustainability, the DX showcases a refined all-metal bodywork, a wide and flat utility-focused floorboard, and a 37-liter underseat storage compartment.
High-Tech Features for Every Ride
The Kinetic DX and DX+ are not just scooters; they are smart companions for daily commutes. Here’s what sets them apart:
DX Variant Highlights
- A reliable and straightforward design
- Rugged all-metal body and functional utility
DX+ Variant Boosts Functionality
- Backlit digital instrument cluster
- App-based telematics and remote diagnostics
- Smartphone connectivity for trip logs, real-time tracking, navigation alerts, and even custom messages
Both models come with thoughtful additions like reverse mode, hill-hold assist, and a Kinetic Assist switch that directly connects riders to support services. The DX+ also includes advanced features like music playback through an onboard speaker and Bluetooth connectivity, all without compromising underseat storage.
Performance Optimized for Indian Roads
Equipped with a 2.6 kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery, the DX+ is built for thermal reliability, long life, and high efficiency. It boasts an impressive IDC-certified range of 116 kilometers and a top speed of 90 km/h. Riders can switch between Range, Power, and Turbo modes to suit their needs, from maximizing efficiency to unlocking peak performance.
Power delivery is managed by a mid-mounted electric motor paired with a belt-drive system, ensuring smooth and efficient rides. The suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and twin rear shock absorbers, providing comfort across various terrains. For safety, the scooter features a combined braking system (CBS) with a 220 mm front disc brake and regenerative braking technology.
Built for Convenience and Long Life
The LFP battery, carefully chosen for its longevity, exceeds 2,500 charge cycles. This translates to years of dependable use, making it an excellent investment for daily riders. Additionally, the scooters come with robust production capacity plans—5,000 units monthly, with a reservation limit of 35,000 units in the initial phase.
Bold Design with European Influence
The styling of the DX series benefits from inputs by a European design firm, merging retro roots with a contemporary aesthetic. Riders can choose from an array of striking colors:
- DX+ comes in Silver, Red, White, Blue, and Black

With its meticulous design, these scooters are built to make a statement while being highly functional.
