Design That Commands Attention
The leaked patent shows that the upcoming electric scooter from Kinetic will have a boxy design with angular lines and a rectangle-shaped headlight up front. The design stays true to the original DX’s DNA while incorporating modern elements like tri-spoke alloy setup and a mid-mount electric motor.
Design Highlights:
- Retro-Modern Appeal: Rectangular headlight with contemporary LED technology
- Familiar Stance: Maintains the classic DX silhouette
- Premium Finish: Angular bodywork with modern paint schemes
- Practical Elements: Small flyscreen for wind protection
Market Positioning and Competition
When launched, this new Kinetic electric scooter will rival Chetak, iQube, Rizta, Vida and S1 range of family format of e-scooters. This positioning puts it squarely in the premium family segment, where brand heritage could be a significant advantage.
The comeback strategy is backed by Kinetic granting brand license to its subsidiary Kinetic Watts and Volts to use the brand’s patents and trademarks to make and sell electric vehicles in India.
Performance Expectations
While official specifications remain under wraps, we can expect it to have a top speed of at least 70-80 kmph, a significant upgrade from Kinetic Green’s current portfolio that maxes out at 50 kmph. This performance leap positions the DX Electric as a serious highway-capable commuter.
The Revival Strategy
Kinetic’s return to the premium segment represents more than just nostalgia marketing. With the Indian e-scooter market exploding and consumers seeking trusted brands, the DX name carries significant emotional equity among Indian riders.
