Kinetic DX E-Scooter Teased, Launch Confirmed for 28 July: What to Expect

Kinetic Green is gearing up to step into the electric scooter market with a brand-new model scheduled to make its debut on July 28, 2025. The company has recently unveiled a teaser confirming the launch date, and prototypes of the scooter have been seen on the streets. Despite the camouflage, it's evident that the new Kinetic DX takes design cues from the iconic Kinetic Honda DX, which was a popular name in Indian households during the 1980s. As revealed in the spy shots, the front apron, the headlamp cluster, and the overall shape appear to pay tribute to the classic design while incorporating modern elements such as a backlit Kinetic logo and a TFT instrument cluster. Beneath the retro exterior, the electric scooter boasts a contemporary setup. It will be equipped with a hub-mounted motor and will offer battery options ranging from 2 kWh to 3.5 kWh. The anticipated top speed is 80 km/h, placing it in the same league as competitors like the Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida VX2. Expect the scooter to come with 12-inch wheels, a front disc brake, telescopic fork in the front, and dual shock absorbers in the rear. While the exact pricing and full feature list will be disclosed at the launch event, the company has ambitious plans for the Indian EV market, with three new "Born Electric" scooters set to be launched in the next 18 months.

よかれと思ってやっているのに逆効果!? 愛車の寿命を縮めるNGカーケア5選

愛車を大切に扱っているつもりが、実は知らず知らずのうちに車の寿命を縮めてしまっていることがあります。日常的に何気なく行っているケアでも、間違った方法はトラブルの元に。今回は、意外と多い「やりがちなNG行動」を5つピックアップし、その理由と正しい対処法を詳しく解説します。NG行為1：下り坂でNレンジに入れて燃費を節約しようとする下り坂でAT車のシフトをNレンジにするのは、一見燃費が良くなりそうですが、実は逆効果。現代のAT車はDレンジのままアクセルを戻せば、エンジンが燃料噴射を抑えて効率的に走行してくれます。Nレンジにするとエンジンからの駆動力が断たれ、AT内部の潤滑オイルを送るポンプが停止し、内部の損傷リスクが高まるため非常に危険です。たとえ誤操作しても安全機能で保護されていますが、基本的には絶対に避けましょう。NG行為2：タイヤの空気圧を必要以上に高く設定する空気圧は車ごとに適正値が決まっており、燃費や走行性能を保つためにも守るべきポイントです。高めに設定すれば燃費がよくなると思われがちですが、過剰に高くするとタイヤの衝撃吸収力が低下し、足回りの部品にダメージを与えたり、偏摩耗や雨天
