Let me start it this way : DO NOT BUY THIS SCOOTER!!!

I have driven many too wheelers before... I bought this kinetic NOVA about 8 months ago... In this 8 months I have taken this scooter
to the service center almost 10 times..  Looks wise it’s good... (that was one of the reasons why I bought it... but I made a big mistake)  Worst thing about nova is

1) Poor mileage.. Currently it is giving me just 30.. Once it gave 50 and that’s it..   You always have to use the chock to start it.  Especially when it rains.. you really have to fight with this machine.   The mechanic would reduce the hidling to give more mileage.. and it would stop in every signal light.   you will always need to keep the throttle to keep the engine running..

2) it’s horrible breaking system..  I had changed the breaks twice already within 8 months and

3) it’s wierd pick-up when you start it..I will shake you off a bit when you start.. so annoying... 

4) It’s kick-starter... it’s somewhere underneath the scooter.. If you kick it hard, it may even fall off.. 

5) Last but not least... Very very poor after sales service..Very un-friendly.  The service centers will just want you money.. that’s all.  They wont do any repair.  They will just change the parts even if they are good..

  I bought it for Rs 42,000/-.. It’s not worth that much at all..  If you are considering it,  DON’T BUY IT.  Kinetic - STUPID COMPANY making LOUSY SCOOTERS. My friend bought  Honda Activa.  It is much much better.. It gives 50 KMPL consistantly and hassle-free.
