When it comes to design, the Kinetic DX Electric keep things refreshingly simple, carrying a similar touch from the old 2-stroke DX. Being an electric scooter, it doesn't try to look futuristic. The front fascia holds a rectangular LED headlamp setup along with Kinetic branding on the visor, which illuminates. The side panels have been neat with a subtle DX+ badging. At the rear, you get a similar rectangular LED taillamp along with illuminated Kinetic badging in the middle. The Kinetic DX is available in five colours: Red, Blue, Black, White and Silver.
