Kinetic Luna Electric India Launch Tomorrow, Here's What To Expect

The well-known multipurpose two-wheeler —Kinetic Luna— is making its return to India in an electric guise. While reservations for the upcoming EV are now open for Rs 500, the price will be revealed tomorrow. To begin with, the history of the OG Kinetic Luna in India spans from the 1970s to the early 2000s. It featured an air-cooled 50cc single-cylinder engine as well as ergonomic pedals that riders could use in case the 4-litre petrol tank ran out. Although the e-Luna's technical specifications are currently unknown, the upcoming moped is anticipated to come with a 2kWh battery pack that will allow a range of about 110 kilometres. Its expected top speed is approximately 50km/h. As the new Kinetic Luna Electric is set to enter our electric two-wheeler industry tomorrow, let's take a look at some of its potential features.

Kinetic Luna Electric: Design and Features 

With its identical shape and size, and minimal characteristics overall, the new E-Luna will conform to the original model's straightforward design philosophy. It will have a square-shaped housing with a circular headlamp integrated into it. A split seat, 16-inch spoke wheels with tubed tyres, and a simple digital instrument readout that displays the trip metres, battery life, speed, and vehicle status are some other noteworthy features.

Kinetic Luna Electric: Battery and Hardware

As previously mentioned, the upcoming E-Luna will likely have a range of approximately 110 kilometres with a 2 kWh battery. It is, however, anticipated that the actual range will be closer to 90 kilometres. Its top speed is said to be 50km/h. Though no official announcement has been made, Kinetic Green is likely to provide a smaller battery option in the future to make its two-wheeler more accessible in India's electric market.

The wheelbase of the electric moped is claimed to be 1,335mm, while its ground clearance is rated at 170mm. The electric vehicle's hardware will have two rear springs and telescopic front forks. Moreover, both ends will have drum brakes for braking.

Kinetic Luna Electric: Expected Price 

The TVS XL, the only other moped currently on the market in the country, is priced between Rs 44,999 and Rs 59,695 (ex-showroom). As of right now, there is no official word on the Kinetic Luna Electric, but it is expected to cost approximately Rs 70,000 (ex-showroom).
