The company also hopes to introduce a 1.5 kWh battery pack for Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets for a 40–45 km range, and a 3 kWh battery pack, which will give a range of 100-125km, .[2] the Kinetic E-Luna comes with Telescopic Fork front suspensions and dual shock rear suspension.[3] It would have a top speed of around 60 kph, a weight of 96 kg (212 lb), a seat height of 760 mm (30 in), and a ground clearance of 170 mm.[4][1] The batteries will be made inhouse with three different variants – chargeable, removable and swappable.[7]
