New Delhi, August 6, 2025 – Say hello to the 2025 Kinetic DX Electric Scooter, the ride that’s bringing nostalgia back with a modern, eco-friendly twist! Launched on July 28, 2025, by Kinetic Green’s Watts and Volts division, this electric scooter is turning heads with its retro-cool design, impressive 116 km range, and a starting price of just ₹1.11 lakh. With electricity costs around ₹1.5 per kWh in India, the DX is a budget-friendly champ for urban riders looking to ditch petrol and embrace green mobility. Whether you’re a student zipping to college or a professional dodging city traffic, the Kinetic DX Electric is your ticket to sustainable, stylish commuting. Let’s dive into its price, range, and value, and see why it’s a game-changer in 2025.
Price That Makes Green Living Affordable
The Kinetic DX Electric 2025 is priced to make electric scootering accessible. The ex-showroom price starts at ₹1,11,499 for the DX variant and goes up to ₹1,17,499 for the DX+ variant, both in Pune. On-road prices in cities like Delhi range from ₹1,18,000 to ₹1,24,000, including RTO (₹4,000–₹5,000), insurance (₹2,136–₹2,500), and handling fees (₹500). Financing is a breeze, with EMIs starting at ₹3,212 per month for 36 months at 9.45% interest, often with a ₹10,000 down payment. Bookings are open for ₹1,000, with deliveries starting September 2025.
Compared to rivals like the Bajaj Chetak 3001 (₹99,900) or TVS iQube (₹94,434), the DX’s price is slightly higher, but its features and range justify the cost. “I booked the DX+ for ₹1.24 lakh on-road in Bangalore,” says Arjun, a techie. “The EMI is just ₹3,300, and I’m saving on fuel!” With a 3-year/50,000 km warranty (extendable to 9 years/1 lakh km), the DX offers peace of mind and incredible value for eco-conscious riders.
Range That Keeps You Moving
With electricity at ₹1.5 per kWh, the Kinetic DX’s range is a budget-saver. Powered by a 2.6 kWh LFP battery, the DX offers an IDC-certified range of 102 km, while the DX+ stretches to 116 km. Real-world estimates suggest 80–90 km for the DX and 90–100 km for the DX+ in city conditions, with up to 150 km in Range mode at 25–30 kmph on flat roads. Charging takes 4 hours for a full charge (0–80% in 3 hours) via the Easy Charge system, with an integrated charger stored in the glove box.
“I ride 40 km daily in Mumbai, and the DX+ gives me 95 km per charge,” says Priya, a college student. “At ₹1.5 per kWh, it costs me ₹4–₹5 daily—way cheaper than my old petrol scooter!” Compared to the Chetak’s 135 km or iQube’s 100 km, the DX’s range is competitive, especially with its thermal-stable LFP battery rated for 2,500–3,500 cycles. For urban commuters, this range and low running cost make the DX a value-packed choice.
Retro Design with Modern Flair
The Kinetic DX Electric channels the iconic Kinetic Honda DX from the ‘80s with a boxy silhouette, updated with LED headlights, a Kinetic-logo-shaped DRL, and a sleek front apron. Available in Black and Silver for the DX and five colors (Red, Blue, White, Black, Silver) for the DX+, it’s a nostalgic yet fresh ride. “My Red DX+ looks like a classic but feels futuristic,” says Arjun. The 704 mm-long seat, 165 mm ground clearance, and 1,314 mm wheelbase ensure comfort and stability.
Weighing 120 kg, the DX is nimble, with 12-inch alloy wheels and a 37-litre under-seat storage that fits a helmet and more. The Easy Flip pillion footpegs and hidden under-boot compartment add practicality. “The storage is a lifesaver for my grocery runs,” says Priya. Compared to the Chetak’s 21-litre storage, the DX’s 37 litres is a segment leader, boosting its everyday value.
Features That Wow
The DX is loaded with tech that screams value. The 8.8-inch LCD dashboard offers smartphone connectivity, with the DX+ adding Telekinetics features like geo-fencing, vehicle tracking, and OTA updates via the My Kiney app. Standard features across both variants include:
-
Three ride modes (Range, Power, and Turbo) and reverse mode.
-
Cruise control and cruise lock for efficiency.
-
Keyless entry and hill-hold assist.
-
Built-in Bluetooth speakers for music.
-
USB charging port and crash alert in 16 languages.
The DX+ even wishes you a happy birthday in 16 languages—a quirky touch! “The Bluetooth music is a vibe,” says Rohan, a Delhi rider. “I play my playlist while cruising, and the TFT screen is so clear.” Compared to the iQube’s navigation or the Chetak’s basic display, the DX’s tech feels next-level, making it a standout for the price.
Safety and Performance: Green and Grippy
The DX pairs a 4.8 kW BLDC hub motor with a top speed of 80 kmph (DX) or 90 kmph (DX+), delivering 6.3–6.4 bhp. It sprints from 0–40 kmph in about 5 seconds, ideal for city zips. The 220 mm front disc and 130 mm rear drum brakes with CBS ensure confident stops, though ABS is absent. Regenerative braking adds efficiency. “The handling is smooth, and the brakes feel solid,” says Priya. Compared to the Chetak’s 70 kmph top speed, the DX is peppier.
The telescopic front suspension and adjustable rear shocks handle bumps well, though some riders note stiffness on rough roads. The 100/80-12 tubeless tyres offer good grip. “It’s stable even on wet roads,” says Rohan, praising the hill-hold feature. Safety and performance add to the DX’s value, especially for new EV riders.
How It Compares
Priced at ₹1,11,499–₹1,17,499, the DX takes on the Bajaj Chetak 3001 (₹99,900), TVS iQube (₹94,434), and Ather Rizta (₹1,09,000). The Chetak offers a longer 135 km range but less storage, while the iQube’s navigation is a plus, the DX lacks. The DX’s 37-litre storage, 90 kmph speed, and features like Bluetooth speakers give it an edge. Kinetic sold 1,200 units in July 2025, with a 7–30-day waiting period, showing growing demand.
Rider Buzz
Riders are thrilled with the DX’s value. “I’ve done 500 km in a month, and it’s cost me ₹150 in electricity,” says Arjun. “The retro look gets compliments everywhere.” Priya adds, “The storage and range make it perfect for my campus runs.” Some note limited service centers, with Kinetic’s network still expanding. On X, users praise the range and tech but want more dealerships. Overall, the DX is a hit for its affordability and features.
