Kinetic DX vs TVS iQube 2.2 kWh e-scooter Comparison

Kinetic has entered the affordable EV segment 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-liter underseat storage. The TVS iQube, in comparison, uses a slightly smaller 2.2 kWh battery that delivers an 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, a little less than the Kinetic scooters’ 0-80% in 3 hours.
