Kinetic Green E Luna review: Still relevant and worth it today?
New Delhi: The original Kinetic Luna was a utilitarian and inexpensive workhorse that, despite going off sale over two decades ago, has now gained cult status amongst small circles of classic enthusiasts. Kinetic Green (new name, same company) wants to recreate that success with the new E Luna but times and people’s needs have changed a lot since the Luna went off the market. So, is there still an audience today for the E Luna?
Kinetic E Luna design
To look at, the E Luna is a traditional moped but it’s technically no longer one since it forgoes pedal assistance. Depending on who you ask, its design will be a pro or con. We think its cute and it’s looks help it stand out in the ocean of two-wheelers that dominate roads. It’s quite spacious for both the rider and pillion although the pillion’s legs are positioned in an unnatural way due to the awkward placement of the foot rests. There is a small cubby under the E Luna’s pillion seat although the chassis tubes restrict the amount of space here. More significantly, you cannot fit the charger in the provided storage space, which is a big miss here!
Kinetic E Luna features, battery, performance
The E Luna is meant to be a utilitarian product but it still has a simple LCD dash that’s well laid-out and has a DTE (Distance To Empty) readout. However, the tell-tale lights are a little hard to read on a sunny day. Fit and finish is just about acceptable for the price, but isn’t particularly pleasing. There is a ‘mode’ switch on the right hand side switch cube but all that seems to do is restrict top speed depending on which position it is in. The restrictions are 35kph, 45kph and 50kph. What will annoy you at anything above 20kph is the shrill whine of the motor and chain final drive, which could be heard despite wearing earplugs and listening to music on my Bluetooth headset. A full charge takes about 4 hours and the mileage claimed by the company is around 110 km.
Kinetic E Luna price
To sum up, the Kinetic Green E Luna is a simple and utilitarian two-wheeler, much like its ancestor, but there is one difference. Where the old Luna was much more affordable than a motorcycle, this one isn’t. At Rs 74,990, it not only costs about Rs 10,000 more than the likes of the TVS Radeon and Honda Shine 100, but it is vastly more expensive than its closest rival, the TVS XL 100 which starts at Rs 45,000. Ultimately then, the E Luna will probably have a stronger chance of finding success in the e-commerce space. As for private buyers, it will appeal to those who wish to have the form factor of a moped along with the low running costs of an EV. And we’re not sure how many such customers are out there.
