The company will provide complete power train solutions for 2, 3 and 4 wheeler electric vehicles including axles, gearboxes, motors and controllers. The company will also manufacture a complete retrofit kit for converting an internal combustion (IC) engine driven 3-wheeler to an electric 3-wheeler.

The kits will range from 1 KW to 10 KW and will be useful for scooters, mopeds, passenger and load carrying 3 wheelers and even trucks and buses. There is a great demand from existing vehicles using IC engines which have crossed their useful life, to be converted into electric vehicles and these kits can be used for the same. The rollout of the kits shall be in a phase wise manner starting with the 2 and 3 wheeler segment and will later be introduced for higher KW power trains. Currently, such kits are imported from abroad; mainly China and therefore development of such kits will be a pioneering initiative by Kinetic.
