Kinetic DX Electric Review 2026: Nostalgia Meets High-Tech Performance

The legendary "Kinetic Honda" is back, but this time, the iconic two stroke smoke has been replaced by a silent electric hum. Kinetic Green has officially revived its most famous nameplate with the Kinetic DX Electric, and the reviews are finally in.

If you are looking for a blend of 90s nostalgia and 2026 technology, here is everything you need to know about the price, range, and features of the new Kinetic DX.

Design: A Blast from the Past

The first thing you’ll notice is that the Kinetic DX Electric stays remarkably true to its roots. It retains the boxy, retro silhouette that made the original a household name in India. However, it’s not just a vintage shell; it’s packed with modern touches:

• All-LED Lighting: The signature square headlamp now features high intensity LEDs.

• Metal Body Construction: Unlike many modern plastic heavy EVs, the DX uses metal panels for a sturdier feel.

• Illuminated Branding: The front apron features a backlit Kinetic logo, giving it a futuristic glow at night.

Performance and Range Specs

While the look is retro, the powertrain is purely 2026. Kinetic has equipped the scooter with a robust hub motor and a reliable battery setup.

The scooter features three riding modes: Range (for efficiency), Power (for city zipping), and Turbo (for hitting that 90 kmph top speed).

Tech-Forward Features

Kinetic isn't just relying on old memories; they’ve added some segment first features that stand out in the crowded EV market:

• Built-in Bluetooth Speaker: A unique addition that allows riders to play music or hear navigation prompts directly from the scooter.

• On-board Retractable Charger: No need to carry a bulky external brick; the charging cable is built directly into the scooter.

• 8.8-inch Smart Display: A massive digital console that supports turn by turn navigation and smartphone connectivity

• Massive Storage: With 37 liters of under seat space, it can comfortably hold two helmets.
