Apart from electric scooters, Kinetic will launch electric motorcycles and last-mile mobility focused electric two-wheelers next year in the country
Kinetic Engineering Ltd has revealed its plans of expanding the product portfolio by introducing multiple new electric scooters in the Indian market. In addition, the brand also intends to launch electric motorcycles and last-mile mobility focused electric two-wheeler models. In the latest investor presentation, the company classified the upcoming models in three categories namely electric scooters, electric motorcycles and commercial-use electric two-wheelers for last-mile delivery. Kinetic had recently relaunched the iconic DX100 scooter in an all-electric avatar in India.
Kinetic further stated that it also has plans to enter a few global markets by 2027 as a part of its global EV expansion initiative. In the domestic market, the upcoming Kinetic electric scooters will come with in-house developed components such as motors, controllers and battery packs. The batteries are likely to be supplied from the Range-X facility of the brand.
The Range-X facility has an annual production capacity of 60,000 LFP and NMC batteries. Kinetic aims to retail 5000 units of its e-scooters by March 2026 while setting a target of scaling the production to 60,000 units by FY 2026-27.
