      New Kinetic Electric Scooter Spied Testing – Nostalgia Meets Modern Tech

      by

      New Kinetic Electric Scooter SpiedKinetic, a household name for Indian two-wheeler enthusiasts, is making a determined comeback in the electric scooter space. After patent images of a new Kinetic electric scooter surfaced last month, Rushlane has now captured fresh spy shots of the same prototype testing in Pune under heavy camouflage. This marks a significant move for Kinetic Watts and Volts Ltd, the EV division of the Kinetic Group.
      Retro-Inspired Styling Hints at Kinetic Honda ZX Revival
      The upcoming electric scooter draws inspiration from the classic Kinetic Honda ZX, with a squared-off headlamp, minimalist side panels, and a sleek front apron reminiscent of the retro scooter. The new design updates include a faux flyscreen with KINETIC lettering, rectangular LED reflector headlights, and turn indicators shaped similar to the historic Kinetic logo.
      New Kinetic Electric Scooter Spied
      From these latest spy shots, several features stand out:
      – A hub-mounted motor, consistent with a simple EV drivetrain– Dual telescopic front suspension for better ride comfort– Dual rear shock absorbers– A box-section swingarm, suggesting a robust chassis– Triple-spoke alloy wheels for a modern stance– Front disc brake visible through the camouflage, promising stronger braking– Single-piece rear grab rail for practicality– Retro front fender that throws back to the original Kinetic Honda styling– A faux windshield on the handlebar for a distinct styling element
      New Kinetic Electric Scooter Spied
      Other visual cues include a large, flat floorboard, and chunky bodywork that may house a decently sized battery pack. Overall proportions look similar to family-oriented scooters like the Hero Vida, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and the Ola S1 range — exactly the segment Kinetic seems to be targeting.
      New Kinetic Electric Scooter Spied
      Modern Tech Underneath
      Adding to the anticipation, Kinetic Watts and Volts Ltd inaugurated a new EV manufacturing facility recently in Ahilya Nagar, Maharashtra. This plant will likely produce this upcoming model, with the possibility of launching it under the Kinetic Green vertical.
      Kinetic is clearly looking to tap into nostalgia, while modernising the package to attract new buyers. Expect features like Bluetooth connectivity, digital instrumentation, and smart app integration when the production version is revealed.
      New Kinetic Electric Scooter Spied
      More technical details, including battery capacity, range, and pricing, are still under wraps, but a launch in the next few months looks promising. Stay tuned for more updates as Kinetic gears up to electrify the legacy it built decades ago. More

      2025 Triumph Trident 660 Launch Price Rs 8.49 Lakh – More Tech, New Colours

      by

      2025 Triumph Trident 660 LaunchTriumph Motorcycles has officially launched the updated 2025 Trident 660 in India, pricing it between Rs 8.49 lakh and Rs 8.64 lakh (ex-showroom). The middleweight roadster, which has already established a strong fan following, gains a host of new features and fresh colour options for 2025, making it an even more attractive proposition for riders seeking a versatile, premium motorcycle.
      New Riding Tech and Modes for 2025
      For 2025, the Triumph Trident 660 comes with several electronic upgrades that were previously offered as optional extras. Notably, Sport mode has now been added alongside Road and Rain modes, giving riders more flexibility in varying riding conditions.
      2025 Triumph Trident 660 Launch
      Also standard now are the bidirectional quickshifter and Bluetooth connectivity, both of which were earlier paid options. Another welcome addition is cruise control, making the Trident 660 more touring-friendly, even though the system does not allow speed adjustments on the go without disengaging.
      Mechanically, Triumph has made a notable chassis change for 2025 by equipping the Trident 660 with a Showa Big Piston front fork, aimed at delivering improved ride feedback and control. However, the unit remains non-adjustable, with only rear preload adjustability on offer.
      2025 Triumph Trident 660 Launch
      The proven 660cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine continues unchanged, producing 81hp and 64Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle weighs 190kg with a full 14-litre fuel tank and continues to ride on Michelin Road 5 tyres. Its seat height remains a very accessible 805 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of riders.
      2025 Triumph Trident 660 Launch – Colours
      Price Hiked by Rs 37,000 Over Previous Model
      Triumph has also added three new dual-tone paint options — yellow, blue, and red — alongside the returning all-black colourway. The base black variant is priced at Rs 8.49 lakh, while the dual-tone shades will set you back by Rs 8.64 lakh, which is Rs 15,000 higher. Overall, this represents a price increase of Rs 37,000 compared to the previous model.
      While the Triumph Trident 660 doesn’t have any direct rivals, it faces some competition from the likes of the Kawasaki Z650RS (Rs 7.20 lakh) and the Honda CB650R E-Clutch (Rs 9.60 lakh). Those interested in purchasing the upgraded Trident 660 are advised to check with their nearest Triumph dealership for availability and booking details.
      In sum, the 2025 Trident 660 blends more technology, touring-friendly features, and fresh styling to continue its run as one of the most desirable middleweight roadsters in the Indian market. More

      Royal Enfield Scram 440 Sales Resume After Temporary Pause

      by

      Royal Enfield Scram 440
      Royal Enfield launched the Scram 440 at the beginning of the 2025 calendar year. This is the spiritual successor of its popular Scram 411 and was upgraded with a larger displacement, more performance and a 6-speed gearbox. After a temporary pause, Royal Enfield has resumed sales of Scram 440.
      Royal Enfield Scram 440 Sales Resume
      As per a report by Autocar India, Royal Enfield has resumed sales of Scram 440 in the country. Owing to a few mechanical issues, Royal Enfield had stopped the sales of Scram 440 a couple of months ago. Those mechanical issues seem to have sorted and Scram 440 sales have resumed in India.
      Interestingly, this temporary pause of sales came in shortly after it was launched. Now, those issues seem to have ironed out and the motorcycle will function as originally intended. Royal Enfield assures mechanical soundness of this new powertrain and all issues pertaining the Woodruff Key in the magneto cover seem to have been fixed.
      Royal Enfield Scram 440
      Availability of Scram 440 is still scarce and the company is expected to ramp us production in a gradual manner and boost sales. Displacement and performance-wise, Scram 440 is slotted above the 350cc range of motorcycles and below the Sherpa 450 equipped Guerrilla 450 and Himalayan 450.
      Issue with Woodruff Key
      Taking a couple of months worth of sales performance from Scram 440 was a mechanical issue revolving around the Woodruff Key present in Magneto cover as part of bike’s ignition system. While this issue was not widespread, there seems to have been isolated incidents where the bike didn’t start after running for some time.
      There were no stalling issues with this motorcycle when the engine was running, but there were issues when restarting after turning it off for some time. Royal Enfield quickly began work on this issue and temporarily halted sales.
      Royal Enfield LS 440 engine
      This is a 443cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that is capable of generating 25.3 bhp of peak power and 34 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. This is a long-stroke engine and embodies the ethos of Royal Enfield’s 411cc engine, which was known for its effortless nature. More
