Kinetic Green has announced a major expansion plan to strengthen its electric two-wheeler business.

Building on this, the manufacturer now plans to roll out three new electric scooters over the next 18 months. Here's a quick look at the key details around this expansion.

Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder and CEO of Kinetic Green, said the company is poised for aggressive growth, having already sold over 80,000 electric two-wheelers and set up a network of 400 dealerships. Kinetic Green's journey in the EV space began in 2016 with electric three-wheelers. It entered the two-wheeler segment in 2022, and the E-Luna, launched in 2024. In 2024-25, India saw 1.15 million electric two-wheelers sold, with 90% of them being e-scooters. Market forecasts suggest that e-scooter adoption will rise from 15% to 70% in the next five years.
