The Advent of Smart Technology
Kinetic Motors introduced their flagship product, Animated Tiles electric scooter this year making waves in the industry with its focus on technological innovation. The Tiles boasts of cutting edge features like keyless ignition, live ride tracking, geo fencing and smart anti-theft features that make it a truly smart electric two wheeler. With features like these, Kinetic has made the Tiles more than just another means of transportation but a connected mobility device.
The Tiles comes equipped with kinetic's own mobile app that lets owners track their ride stats like distance traveled, route taken, time spend riding, top speed achieved etc in real time. This helps users keep a tab on their rides and also gamifies the ownership experience. The integrated GPS and GLONASS receivers power live ride tracking and SOS features to provide safety and peace of mind.
The app also allows owners to enable/disable certain features of the scooter remotely like speed limiting for when a family member may be using it. Over speeding alerts, geo-fencing boundaries for parking areas and unauthorized movement notifications are some of the smart safety features. All these connected capabilities truly make Tiles stand apart from other electric two wheelers in the market currently which are more focused on just the mechanics rather than becoming tech-enabled mobility solutions.

At the core, Kinetic Tiles boasts of a 4.4kW continuous rated BLDC hub mounted motor powered by a 72V 30Ah lithium-ion battery pack. This enables the Tiles to churn out a top speed of 75kmph with acceleration from 0-40kmph in just 4 seconds. The high performance credentials are backed by a long 85km range on a single full charge thanks to kinetic's efficient drive train and battery technology.
