If you think gone are the days when one would think of buying a Luna moped, then you are wrong! Kinetic Engineering on Monday announced that Luna will soon be making a comeback but this time as an EV.
The company, in a regulatory filing, said, "Exactly 50 years ago, Kinetic Engineering Limited created automobile history by launching the Luna – priced at that time at Rs. 2000 which made it the most efficient, affordable, and convenient transportation solution for India," adding that the company has now reached full circle with its electric variant.
Kinetic Luna is a 50 cc moped that was introduced by Kinetic Engineering in India in 1972. Though it continues to be produced and marketed in India, it's rare to spot it on Indian roads anymore. The original Luna of 1972 was a licensed copy of Piaggio Ciao moped. It has since been updated by Kinetic until the end of production in the early 2000s.
