Kinetic DX range gets bigger batteries, up to 132km range

Kinetic has expanded its DX electric scooter line-up with larger battery options, giving the DX a new 3kWh variant and the DX+ a 3.1kWh version. The latter gets a claimed 132km IDC range, up from 105km on the existing DX+, while both new versions will be sold alongside the existing 2.6kWh models.

  1. DX 3kWh costs Rs 1.19 lakh; DX+ 3.1kWh is priced at Rs 1.28 lakh
  2. DX+ range rises from 105km to 132km IDC
  3. The new DX+ uses a 3.8kW motor, down from 4.8kW on the existing version

DX+ gets more range

The new DX+ 3.1kWh gets a claimed 132km IDC range, with Kinetic estimating 105-110km in real-world use. The new version uses a 3.8kW hub-mounted motor, compared with 4.78kW on the existing DX+ 2.6kWh. It also loses the Turbo riding mode, retaining Range and Power modes.

The DX 3kWh is priced at Rs 1.19 lakh, compared with Rs 1.11 lakh for the existing DX 2.6kWh. Kinetic has not yet disclosed the range or motor output for the new 3kWh DX. The new versions are additions rather than replacements and Kinetic’s current website lists both the 2.6kWh and larger-battery versions of the DX and DX+.

This comes shortly after the brand revealed that it is also evaluating overseas markets for the DX, with Turkey, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt on the company’s list. The export plans give the DX a wider market to target as Kinetic adds more range-focused versions to its electric scooter line-up.
