Kinetic DX vs Ather Rizta: Which electric scooter to pick?

Kinetic DX is the latest electric scooter that has been launched in India. The Kinetic DX electric scooter comes as an all-electric iteration of the original Kinetic Honda DX scooter, which is considered one of the iconic models in the country. Launched at a starting price of ₹1.12 lakh (ex-showroom), the EV brings back the nostalgia of the original DX. Pricing of the EV goes up to ₹1.17 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Kinetic DX EV takes design inspiration from the original model, but there are electric vehicle-specific design elements that make it distinctive. The EV sports a distinctive LED headlight, flanked by a Kinetic logo-shaped LED daytime running light. Also, there is a visor with the Kinetic branding, which adds a subtle nod to the Kinetic Honda DX. The company has added a plethora of interesting design elements and features that help it stand apart from the rest of the models in the segment.

Despite the enthusiasm around this scooter, Kinetic DX's job is not going to be easy. It will have to compete with a host of electric scooters in the segment. One of them is the Ather Rizta, which has made its space as one of the most practical electric scooters.
