Power, Battery, and Range
At the heart of the DX Electric lies a 2.6 kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery, paired with a 4.8 kW hub motor. The scooter achieves a top speed of 90 km/h and delivers a certified range of 116 km on a full charge. It also features a unique Cruise Lock feature that allows it to maintain a consistent speed of around 25–30 km/h, potentially extending the range up to 150 km under ideal conditions.
Smart Features and Connectivity
The scooter is equipped with an 8.8-inch color display offering Bluetooth connectivity, music control, and turn-by-turn navigation alerts. The DX+ variant introduces enhanced connectivity through ‘Telekinetic’ features such as geo-fencing, ride tracking, intruder alerts, and a remote location feature called “Find My Kinetic.”
It also includes features such as cruise control, hill-hold assist, reverse mode, and a retractable charging cable built into the glovebox. The 37-litre under-seat storage makes it highly practical, capable of holding two helmets or larger bags.
Built to Last with Strong Support
Kinetic has opted for a full-metal construction to ensure the DX EV stands up to real-world use and wear. The LFP battery chemistry offers higher thermal stability and a longer lifecycle compared to traditional NMC batteries, providing between 2,500 to 3,500 charge cycles.
With its extended warranty plans, the DX Electric offers peace of mind to new EV buyers looking for long-term reliability. Kinetic also aims to expand its service and dealership network to support this scooter’s rollout.
Final Thoughts
The Kinetic DX Electric Scooter is more than just a nostalgic nod—it’s a thoughtfully crafted urban mobility solution. With its retro styling, robust build, competitive range, and smart features, it stands out as a compelling option in the crowded electric scooter segment. Whether you remember the original DX or you’re discovering it for the first time, this reimagined classic is designed to move the future forward with confidence.
