Kinetic Motor exports scooter to Japan

Chennai: It is like selling coal to New Castle for the Pune-based Kinetic Motor Company Limited; it is exporting its motoscooter Kinetic Blaze to Japan. The company has appointed a dealer in Japan and the first shipment is expected to leave this month.

The Kinetic Blaze, a 165cc large-format scooter with big wheels, is India's first motoscooter — the first of the seven-vehicle series that the company acquired from an Italian two-wheeler major Italjet SpA. According to managing director, Sulajja Motwani, the company also acquired the global marketing rights for the seven models.
