Kinetic Green E Luna X2

Monday, 18 November 2024 08:24 AM The mileage of the Kinetic E Luna X2 is a mixed bag. On paper, it promises a range of 110 km on a single charge, but in real-world testing, this number drops significantly to around 61.7 km. This discrepancy is particularly notable when the vehicle is loaded or used in city traffic. For the X1 variant with the smaller 1.7 kWh battery, you can expect the range to be even lower, closer to 50 km. Despite this, the E Luna X2s battery performance is consistent, with no noticeable lag or throttling issues, and the Distance-To-Empty gauge is quite accurate. However, potential buyers need to be aware that the actual range will likely be lower than the claimed figure, especially if they plan to use the vehicle for heavy loads or frequent city rides. ABOUT The Kinetic E Luna X2 is a modern reinterpretation of the classic Luna moped, now powered by an electric motor. It features a 1.2 kW BLDC mid-mounted motor and comes with two battery pack options, though the X2 variant reviewed here has a 2 kWh battery. The vehicle boasts a simple yet functional design, with a digital LCD display showing essential information and three riding modes that restrict top speeds to 35 kmph, 45 kmph, and 50 kmph. It has ample storage options, including a flat floorboard, a front apron hook, and a removable rear seat that converts into a flat metal storage plate. The E Luna X2 is designed for practicality, with a combined payload capacity of 150 kg, making it ideal for shopkeepers and delivery personnel. However, it suffers from weak drum brakes, firm suspension, and dull acceleration, which might deter some potential buyers. Despite these drawbacks, its ability to climb steep slopes and its low running costs make it a viable option for specific use cases.
