Company History

Kinetic helped define India’s scooter era through its joint venture with Honda, producing auto-clutch, two-stroke step-throughs that brought effortless mobility to families across the country. The JV married Honda reliability with Kinetic’s manufacturing reach and dealer network, normalizing twist-and-go convenience in crowded cities. After the JV era, Kinetic pursued its own lineup—four-stroke commuters and the Blaze maxi-scooter—while exploring partnerships and technology transfers as emissions rules tightened. The company’s legacy extends beyond specific models: it trained service networks, set consumer expectations for easy starts and low maintenance, and made two-wheel independence aspirational yet attainable for middle-class households. Historically, Kinetic is a pillar in India’s mobility story, sitting between the moped age and today’s EFI/ABS commuters. The name still evokes a time when a family’s first set of keys opened up schools, jobs, and social life beyond walking distance—proof that smart manufacturing partnerships can reshape how a nation moves.
