Remember the Kinetic Honda DX scooter? It could soon make a comeback as an EV
A recent design patent suggests that the Kinetic Group has registered an identical design for its upcoming electric scooter.
Check Offers The 90’s kids would remember the Kinetic name fondly. For many, the Kinetic Honda ZX scooter was the vehicle they grew up around, and for some, this would’ve been their first two-wheeler as an adult. It now seems the Kinetic Honda DX scooter could soon make a comeback as an all-electric offering. A recent design patent suggests that the Kinetic Group has registered an identical design for its upcoming electric scooter.
Kinetic Honda DX: Two-Stroke scooter with a CVT automatic
The Kinetic Honda DX scooter was a collaboration between India’s Kinetic Engineering and Japan’s Honda Motor Company, and was in producton from 1984 to 2007. Based on the Honda NH Series scooters, the Indian version used a 98 cc two-stroke, air-cooled motor the model. The new version will be an all-electric offering instead. This would be Kinetic’s second attempt at reviving a legacy nameplate after the E-Luna recently.

Kinetic Honda DX: Comeback Soon?
Kinetic Green, part of the Kinetic Group, has filed the design patent for the new scooter, which appears to be heavily inspired by the Kinetic Honda DX. The design seems near identical, save for the new Kinetic Green logo on the front apron and a rectangular LED headlamp cluster that gets the same design but with new LED DRLs. The side panels have been altered to resemble the original model in spirit, while the rear sports a new grab rail, instead of a spare tyre, seen on the original. The ‘Kinetic’ branding is visible on the small flyscreen of the design patent, instead of ‘Kinetic Honda’ as seen on the original.
