India’s electric scooter revolution is about to get a nostalgic twist. As EV brands introduce futuristic designs and cutting-edge features, one familiar name from the ’80s and ’90s is primed for a high‑tech reboot. Kinetic Green, under the Kinetic Watts & Volts umbrella, has revived the iconic Kinetic Honda DX—this time as an electric scooter simply called the Kinetic DX—and the buzz is electric. Here’s everything you should know before its highly anticipated launch on July 28, 2025.
🕰 Heritage Meets Innovation
The original Kinetic Honda DX holds a special place in the hearts of Indian riders. With its push‑button start and reliable CVT transmission, it was a pioneer of modern, hassle-free commuting. The new electric version leans on that nostalgia yet brings a thoroughly modern feel. Patent filings back in June unveiled a familiar silhouette—complete with windscreen, broad footboard, and signature body panels—a clear tribute to the original design.
In recent teasers, Kinetic amplifies this nostalgia by retaining the famous red, square “READY” button on the handlebar—now hinting at “Ready” to roll in silent EV mode. RushLane called it “a smart homage,” merging retro design with modern tech.
Teasers Offer a First Glimpse
Kinetic Green dropped a video teaser and a string of spy photos teasing the new scooter’s aesthetic and hardware. Teasers flaunt illuminated Kinetic lettering across the windscreen and a logo-embedded front apron. The switchgear, featuring that iconic red “READY” button, reminds riders to expect a classic vibe with a clean twist ║cite╂turn0search0╂turn0search1╂turn0search6╁.
Spy shots from Pune and Mumbai show a robust, boxy form with 12-inch wheels, telescopic front forks, twin spring shocks at the rear, and a front disc brake. The hub-mounted motor suggests smooth city commuting, echoing Kinetic’s “family‑friendly” positioning.
Hardware & Tech Breakdown
Although full specs remain under wraps until the July 28 launch, leaks and reputable reports give us a robust outline:
- Battery options between 1.8 kWh and 3 kWh, supporting top speeds around 80 km/h.
- Hub motor with front disc brake; drivetrain is clean and maintenance-free.
- Suspension setup: telescopic fork (front), dual shock absorbers (rear)—reliable and comfortable for urban commutes.
- Expected 12‑inch alloy wheels, square ORVMs, wide seat, and flat floorboard for practicality.
- TFT instrument cluster, all‑LED lighting, and faux engine sounds via switchgear to pay tribute to the 2‑stroke roar .
- Built‑in IoT features powered by Jio Things—fast charging support, Bluetooth, app integration, turn‑by‑turn nav—and Torino Design’s “Born Electric” styling inputs.
Market Positioning & Competition
Set to target the mid‑range EV segment, the Kinetic DX goes head-to-head against established players like Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, Hero Vida VX2, Ather Rizta, and Ola S1. With similar battery capacities (2–3 kWh) and top speeds (~80 km/h), it promises comfortable everyday use, with a twist of retro flair.
