with the DX e-scooter, bringing back the nostalgia of the old
Kinetic Honda DX
in a modern electric avatar. The scooter is priced at Rs 1.12 lakh, and goes up against rivals like the
TVS iQube
2.2 kWh, which is priced around Rs 94,434, ex-showroom. But how do these two compare in terms of range, features and performance? Let's take a quick look.
Kinetic DX vs TVS iQube 2.2 kWh e-scooter comparison:
Starting with the Kinetic Green DX series, both variants come equipped with a 2.6 kWh LFP battery and a 4.8 kW hub motor. The claimed IDC range stands at 102 km for the DX and a higher 116 km for the DX+. Top speed is rated at 80 kmph and 90 kmph respectively. Both models offer three riding modes: Range, Power, and Turbo, and also feature reverse assist, hill hold, and 37-litre underseat storage.
The TVS iQube, in comparison, uses a slightly smaller
2.2 kWh battery
that delivers a IDC range of 94 km. It gets a top speed of 75 kmph and accelerates from 0 to 40 kmph in 4.2 seconds. The iQube comes with two riding modes: Economy and Power, and charges up to 80% in around 2 hours and 45 minutes, little less than the Kinetic scooters' 0-80% in 3 hours.

The study also showed that 82% of the crashes involved rear-end collisions or pedestrian hits, and 87% of the fatalities were linked to violations caused by speeding and negligent driving. The report recommends that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and urban local bodies take immediate steps to fix flawed road designs. It suggests that NHAI should rectify 20 recurring road engineering faults and assess and treat 140 high-risk crash locations where head-on, rear-end, side-impact, pedestrian, and nighttime accidents frequently occur. Additionally, it has called for nine high-fatality police station areas to be equipped with better enforcement tools, including the installation of speed cameras or violation detection enforcement systems at 210 critical spots. A total of 537 road crashes, reported in the first six months of this year, left 189 dead and 414 injured, data shared by the traffic depatment showed. In comparison, 996 road accidents resulted in 381 deaths and 781 injuries last year, while 355 road accidents reported in 2023 left 373 dead and 110 injured.
