The return of the Kinetic Green E-Luna marks the revival of one of India’s most iconic two-wheelers — the original Luna. For decades, the Luna was a dependable ride for millions of Indians, serving as a lifeline for families, small business owners, and students alike. With its reintroduction in electric form, Kinetic Green blends the old-world charm of the Luna with the future of mobility. The E-Luna carries forward the same practicality and simplicity that made the original so loved, but now runs silently, cleanly, and far more efficiently. The familiar design cues remain — the step-through frame, minimalist styling, and utility-first layout — all brought to life with cutting-edge electric technology.
Engineered for Urban India: Power Meets Practicality
Powering the Kinetic Green E-Luna is a 1.2kW motor that delivers smooth, reliable performance perfect for navigating busy Indian roads. It achieves a top speed of 50 km/h, which ensures it keeps pace with city traffic while maintaining optimal battery efficiency. What sets the E-Luna apart is its torque delivery and hill-climbing ability — capable of handling inclines up to 7 degrees, making it a capable performer even in hilly or semi-urban areas. Whether it’s short city hops or slightly longer intercity rides, the E-Luna is engineered to offer stress-free mobility with a comfortable ride experience, even for new EV riders transitioning from petrol-powered vehicles.
Battery Power That Goes the Distance
Battery range has always been a make-or-break factor for electric scooters, and the Kinetic Green E-Luna knocks it out of the park. The scooter is available in two variants — X1 and X2. The X1 features a 1.7kWh lithium-ion battery with a range of up to 90 km, while the X2 variant ups the ante with a 2kWh battery, delivering an extended range of up to 110 km. These figures, certified under IDC conditions, are highly competitive in the budget EV segment. The real gem here is the swappable battery system. This practical feature allows users to quickly replace a drained battery with a charged one — a massive time-saver for both individuals and businesses looking to avoid downtime.
Charging and Efficiency: Made for Indian Households
Kinetic Green understands its audience well — which is why the Kinetic Green E-Luna is designed for convenience, especially when it comes to charging. The scooter can be charged using a regular 10-amp socket found in most Indian homes. The X1 variant takes around 3 hours for a full charge, while the X2 version requires approximately 4 hours. This means that users can easily plug it in overnight and wake up to a fully charged ride every morning. Operating costs are impressively low, with an estimated cost of just ₹0.18 per kilometer. That’s a fraction of the cost of petrol-powered two-wheelers, making the E-Luna an economical choice in the long run.
Built for the Real World: Practical Design That Works
The Kinetic Green E-Luna stays true to its utility-focused roots. Its lightweight tubular frame design, weighing just 96 kg, makes it highly maneuverable and easy to handle — especially in congested city traffic. The step-through frame offers unmatched accessibility, ideal for women, senior citizens, and delivery riders alike. The split seat configuration adds versatility, allowing the rear seat to be removed when more cargo space is needed. A wide and flat floorboard provides ample room for groceries, small boxes, or tools, making it perfect for daily tasks and business use. With a total payload capacity of 150 kg, the E-Luna doesn’t just look functional — it is built to perform real-world duties with ease.
Smart Features That Make a Difference
Despite its budget-friendly price tag, the E-Luna is packed with practical features that elevate the riding experience. A modern digital instrument cluster displays essential ride data like speed, battery level, range, and trip information. The visibility is clear even in daylight, ensuring riders stay informed without distraction. The inclusion of a USB charging port is a welcome touch, especially for delivery personnel who rely heavily on mobile apps for navigation and communication. Kinetic Green has also added a side-stand sensor to prevent unintended acceleration when the stand is engaged — an important safety feature. Combined with a Combined Braking System (CBS) for even braking across both wheels, the E-Luna is built to be both smart and safe.
Variants and Color Options: A Luna for Everyone
The Kinetic Green E-Luna is offered in two variants to cater to different needs. The X1, priced at ₹69,990, offers a 90 km range and is ideal for short-distance commuters. The X2, at ₹75,990, provides a longer 110 km range, ideal for riders who need extra mileage and less range anxiety. To suit the taste of a wide audience, the E-Luna comes in five attractive colors: Mulberry Red, Pearl Yellow, Ocean Blue, Sparkling Green, and Night Star Black. Whether you’re looking for something vibrant or more professional for business use, there’s a color option that fits your personality or brand.
A Delivery Hero: Built for Business
Commercial use is where the Kinetic Green E-Luna truly shines. With low running costs, high load capacity, and the convenience of swappable batteries, this scooter is already proving its worth in delivery fleets. In fact, Kinetic Green has deployed over 130 units with BigBasket for last-mile deliveries, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The ability to remove the pillion seat for extra cargo, the large floorboard for packages, and zero downtime due to swappable batteries make it a dream vehicle for delivery startups and small businesses. From groceries and food to parcels and tools, the E-Luna can be the backbone of any delivery-based business.
Green Ride, Cleaner Planet
One of the biggest advantages of owning the Kinetic Green E-Luna is the environmental impact — or rather, the lack of it. Being an electric vehicle, the E-Luna produces zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air in our cities. The quiet motor also significantly reduces noise pollution, offering a more peaceful environment in densely populated areas. Compared to internal combustion engines, the E-Luna is far more energy-efficient. And as India transitions to a greener power grid with more renewable energy, the environmental footprint of vehicles like the E-Luna will continue to shrink, making it an even more sustainable option.

Easy Maintenance, Long-Term Value
Electric vehicles like the Kinetic Green E-Luna offer a much simpler maintenance routine than traditional petrol scooters. There are no oil changes, spark plug replacements, or engine tuning required. The E-Luna uses a chain-driven transmission, which is not only efficient but also easily serviceable by most local mechanics across the country. This accessibility is a big plus for rural and semi-urban buyers. The low kerb weight of 96 kg makes it easier to maneuver and park, particularly for women and elderly riders. With fewer components to go wrong, the E-Luna promises a lower cost of ownership over the long term.
Final Verdict
The Best Budget EV in India? The Kinetic Green E-Luna stands out as a no-nonsense, value-packed electric scooter that doesn’t compromise on utility or reliability. For ₹69,990, it offers a robust set of features, including a solid 90–110 km range, swappable batteries, and a build designed for Indian roads and riders. Whether you need a daily commuter, a delivery vehicle, or just a dependable EV that gets the job done — the E-Luna fits the bill. It proves that electric mobility doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated, and that true innovation lies in making sustainable transportation accessible to everyone.
