Here are all the details of the new Kinetic E-Luna, including the tyres and powertrain options with which it has been launched:

Kinetic E-Luna: Tyres & Wheels

The Kinetic E-Luna has a basic set of 2.50-16 tube-type tyres over its 16-inch spoke wheels, with both the tyres being TVS Eurogrip Rib Plus units as standard. These tyres are designed to match the simplicity and durability of mopeds like Kinetic E-Luna while being affordable.

The TVS Eurogrip Rib Plus for the Kinetic E-Luna has a straight rib pattern for better steering control and confidence-inspiring cornering. The traditional groove design of this tyre improves straight-line stability and improves water channelling while riding over wet surfaces. The TVS Eurogrip Rib Plus also has a special carcass compound in its composition which enhances riding comfort and overall mileage.

Kinetic E-Luna: Looks & Design

The new Kinetic E-Luna takes some inspiration from the Luna moped from the yesteryears, which is evident in its minimalist and basic design. It features a rounded halogen headlamp within a squared cowl while having a sloping panel below the handlebar that flows towards the flat floorboard tunnel, beneath which it has its battery pack. 

The rear section of the Kinetic E-Luna also looks minimalist with a simple-looking panel above which it has split seats with a detachable pillion seat. The E-Luna gets a basic full-LCD digital cluster, telescopic front fork, side stand sensor and a large luggage carrying space. 

Kinetic E-Luna: Motor & Range

The Kinetic E-Luna is available in two variants, X1 and X2, with both powered by a 1.2kW electric motor that propels this moped to a top speed of 50 kmph. The X1 variant has a smaller 1.7kWh battery, which takes 3 hours for a full charge and returns 90 km of maximum range. On the other hand, the X2 variant has a larger 2kWh battery, which takes 4 hours for a full charge and claims 110 km of range.
