With e-scooter Zulu launch, Kinetic Green eyes 2,3-wheeler market

 Pune: Pune-based Kinetic Green, the electric vehicle maker, which has launched its all-new e-scooter Zulu in the Indian market, is also looking to introduce a range of two and three wheelers in the coming years.

The new e-scooter Zulu is priced at Rs 95,000 at the Mumbai showroom.

There is also the option to buy the scooter with a ‘Battery as a subscription’ plan, which will allow customers to cut the cost of buying the scooter by up to 35 per cent.

The battery subscription model ensures that the customer does not pay for the battery upfront, as the customer can subscribe for the battery on a "pay as you use" model, reducing the initial purchase cost of the scooter and eventually, can also own the battery at the end of the subscription term, the company said.

“This is a significant moment for the Kinetic Green family and the EV industry at large,” said Sulajja Firodia Motwani, Founder-CEO of Kinetic Green.

“With the launch of our e-scooter Zulu, Kinetic Green is excited to announce that we will be developing and bringing to our customers a range of two and three -wheelers in the coming years,” she said without divulging details.

With a range of 104 km and a city speed of 60 kmph, Zulu is powered by a 2.27 kWh (kilo-watt hour) lithium-ion battery capacity and is equipped with a portable charger, facilitating convenient charging at home.

Customers can fast-charge the battery from 0-80 per cent in just half an hour using a 15A socket.

The e-scooter also comes with a range of features such as front and rear disc brakes, under-seat storage, LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL), a digital speedometer, front storage space, a front bag hook, an auto power-cut charger, a USB port and a boot light, among others, Kinetic Green said.
