It is time to say goodbye to scooters like activa, pleasure, nova etc.
Because now there is a proper world-class automatic scooter available in market - the incredible KINETIC BLAZE.
I first saw it at Pune Expo (it was named italjet millenium that time). I was simply blown away by its looks. I mean, it is really better than what you or me will sit down and imagine in our best-vehicle dreams. It is an original Italian design from Italjet. Kinetic has now bought it and brought out in market with a fast 170cc engine.
AS soon as the vehicle went on sale, I was one of the first to book and get delivery.
And what a difference it has made to my ride!
First of all, it is so comfortable. Big huge roomy seats with backrest. Good suspension. You feel like you are sitting in a comfortable sofa chair!!
Then it is so fast and not just fast, but it holds high speeds very well. So even at 80kmph you dont feel scared or vulnerable. You feel like you own the road. I have done top speed of 115 kmph on my Blaze! And the acceleration is so good, smooth and linear (no pause of manual gearchanging).
Push button start and automatic riding is hasslefree. two headlamps are great for illuminating street properly at night for safety. plus the big ''visor'' gives good protection from insects and dust. it is very useful.
There is very good underseat storage. plus glove box. and many features.
Now to come to the best part of the vehicle (yes, even better than its superior comfort , performance, convenience and safety/storage).
the STYLING.
It is really amazing looking vehicle. Large, sophisticated. Real italian stallion. In automobile design, it is impossible to beat italians (be it Ferrari, ducati, etc). Blaze is same mindblowing italian looks. And attention to detail couldnt be better. Even the instrument panel is so well laid out and has a digital clock - its a masterpiece in its own right. Plus the ferrari fins in front, the way the seat splits open in two, the superb colors - overall vehicle is very glamorous and everywhere you go, people keep stopping and staring at it and asking so many questions!
Mileage is 40 kmpl which is very good. Price is about 55k (also very good).
I have ridden it for 2 weeks now, and it has exceeded my (high) expectations. If you are looking for a two wheeler, whether it is automatic or powerful bike, there is nothing available in market that comes close to the almighty gorgeous Kinetic Blaze.
A new era in riding has dawned with this majestic vehicle. I am not able to fit in everything in this review, so for all else, go to https://kineticblaze.com
