Kinetic plans to sell 60,000 units of 'Zing 80'

Kinetic Motor Company is targetting to sell around 60,000 units of its scooterette 'Zing 80' in the current financial year. The Zing 80 is the upgraded version of its existing scooterette 'Zing 65'.

Addressing a press conference, A D Verma, general manager (sales) of Kinetic Motor Company, said: "The total market segment is around three lakh which is mainly among the college students. At present, we sell around 5,000 vehicles of the Zing 65 version."

Verma added that the company which at present has a 25 per cent market share in the scooterette segment, hopes to increase it to 50 per cent with the launch.

The on-road price of the Zing 80 is Rs 29,323, which is approximately Rs 5,000 lower than other scooterette models available in the market.

The new Kinetic Zing 80 has a more powerful engine with improved acceleration, power and torque. Apart from this, it also has wider tyres which are puncture resistant.

The Zing 80 comes in a two-tone colour scheme. Verma said that the vehicle would be launched in all the major cities by the end of the month and would be available off the shelf.
