Launched in 1986. Kinetic Honda, a joint venture between Kinetic and Honda, brought to this country a modern scooter that boasted a 100cc two-stroke engine fitted in the centre below the seat. It an electric starter, which is a new thing for us and makes it easy for women to ride this scooter in addition to the benefit of a light weight. It has an automatic gearbox, hence all a rider has to do is twist the accelerator and let the scooter move forward. A refined scooter and a genuine effort to build in convenience and comfort make it a favourite with both sexes in cities and towns. The ZX model has striking new graphics on its front and side panels to make it look more appealing. The biggest draw of these models was the large load area between the handle and the seats. The rims are painted to match the two-tone colour of the scooter. Price will always be the deciding factor between the two models. If the ZX falls within your budget, you may think of buying the Marvel instead.
