Kinetic DX Plus EV: When it comes to Indian roads, nostalgia is always fresh in our minds especially scooters like Kinetic and Chetak. Now that both these names have returned in electric avatars, there is a different kind of excitement in the heart. Let’s find out which scooter is more powerful, stylish, and tech-packed between Kinetic DX Plus EV and Bajaj Chetak 3503.
Nostalgia in new colors in design
The design of Kinetic DX Plus EV is exactly like the one that reminds us of the 80s, but it also has a great combination of modern technology. Its rectangular LED headlamp, sharp body panels and plain color scheme give it a distinct identity. On the other hand, the Bajaj Chetak 3503 also comes with a classic design, but in this you get to see a more curvy and smooth look, which looks quite attractive.
Which one has the upper hand in battery and performance
The Kinetic DX Plus EV has a 4.8kW hub-mounted motor and a 2.5kWh battery, which gives it a range of 116 km and a top speed of 90kmph. At the same time, the Bajaj Chetak 3503 has a 4kW frame-mounted motor and a larger 3.5kWh battery, which gives it a range of 151 km, although its top speed is only 63kmph. That is, Kinetic has a higher speed, while Chetak has a longer range.
There is a difference in ride quality and storage, too
Kinetic DX Plus has telescopic forks and twin rear shock absorbers. It also has 12-inch alloy wheels and 37 liters of underseat storage, which is considered to be the largest in the segment. In comparison, the Chetak 3503 has front link suspension, rear monoshock and 35 liters of boot space. That is, both scooters are strong in terms of comfortable ride and adequate storage, but Kinetic is slightly ahead.
Lots of features. Who is smarter
The Kinetic DX Plus EV has features like an 8.8-inch smart screen, Bluetooth connectivity, speaker alert, happy birthday message, auto footrest, reverse mode, cruise control, range and power modes. Apart from this, features like parking lights, geofencing and remote tracking make it even more special.
On the other hand, the Chetak 3503 is also not far behind. It also has a colored LCD display, two riding modes, turn-by-turn navigation with call, message and music control via Bluetooth. However, its reverse mode comes with an add-on package, which can be a bit disappointing.
Price and availability
The ex-showroom price of the Kinetic DX Plus is Rs 1,17,499 while the Bajaj Chetak 3503 comes for Rs 1,14,500. There is a slight difference in the price, but both scooters meet different needs. While the Chetak is a good option for long distances, the Kinetic DX Plus is for those who want more performance and smart features.
Both scooters offer the aesthetics and identity of their older versions in a modern way. The Kinetic DX Plus gives you better speed, storage and features, while the Bajaj Chetak 3503 comes with range and a trusted brand network. If you want to try something new with performance and style, then Kinetic can be a good option for you. But if you prefer brand value and more range, then the Chetak can be a better deal for you.
