Just had to post this story. Just when we thought that India had finally gotten too big to ride on cheap little scooters and stopped making the Chetak a standard dowry gift, it turns out that the demand is actually growing.
So, how does one of India’s top-dog manufacturers keep up with demand? They team up with one of one of Asia’s top-dogs, SYM. In this story, we are led to believe that Kinetic/SYM might even have something in store for the Americas in the future.
Here’s a nibblet from the Times of India:
“Under the three year technical tie-up with SYM, Kinetic Motors will launch two scooters that will sell in domestic as well as global markets under the Kinetic SYM badge and will cater to the growing demand from young college-going girls,” says Sulajja Firodia Motwani, MD, Kinetic Motors.
