Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions has introduced the E-Luna Prime, an electric two-wheeler designed for India’s commuter motorcycle market. The new model builds on the success of the E-Luna, which has sold over 25,000 units since its launch.

The E-Luna Prime, the company shared, is engineered to meet the needs of millions of commuters, offering an affordable and practical solution for both urban and rural environments. It features rugged 16-inch alloy wheels, a digital cluster and a spacious front-loading area. The electric two-wheeler is available in two variants with ranges of 110 km and 140 km, prices starting at INR 82,490 (ex-showroom).

he Kinetic Green E-Luna Prime comes with two battery capacity variants: 2.6 kWh and 3.5 kWh lithium-ion batteries. The scooter offers a claimed riding range of 110 km for the lower capacity battery and 140 km for the higher capacity battery on a single charge.

The charging time for the E-Luna Prime is approximately 4 to 4.6 hours for a full charge, depending on the variant. This charging can be conveniently done at home using a standard power socket.

E- Luna Prime In summary: 

  • Battery capacity: 2.6 kWh and 3.5 kWh variants

  • Charging time: Around 4 to 4.6 hours for full charge

  • Range: 110 km (2.6 kWh) and 140 km (3.5 kWh) per charge

These features make the E-Luna Prime a practical electric moped for daily commuting and light cargo usage.

The replacement battery cost for electric two-wheelers like the Kinetic Green E-Luna Prime typically depends on the battery capacity and market pricing. On average, in India, lithium-ion battery packs cost around ₹15,000 to ₹20,000 per kWh. Given the E-Luna Prime battery options of 2.6 kWh and 3.5 kWh, the estimated replacement cost would roughly range between ₹39,000 to ₹70,000.

Regarding warranty, electric two-wheelers generally come with a battery warranty period of 2 to 3 years. For instance, many e-scooter manufacturers offer free battery replacement or repair during this warranty period if the battery suffers from manufacturing defects or significant capacity degradation (typically below 70%-80%). After the free warranty period, pro-rata warranties may apply, which cover partial costs based on usage duration.

Kinetic Green’s E-Luna Prime is expected to have similar warranty coverage:

  • Battery warranty likely around 2 to 3 years

  • Covers manufacturing defects and performance degradation

  • Replacement or repair is free or at a discounted rate within warranty

This warranty ensures low running and maintenance costs, making the E-Luna Prime a cost-effective electric moped option for users.

Maintenance and running cost estimates per month for the Kinetic Green E-Luna Prime are quite economical compared to petrol vehicles. The brand claims the running cost to be as low as Rs. 2,500 per month. This estimate includes electricity costs for charging, basic maintenance like tire checks, brake adjustments, and periodic servicing.

E-Luna Prime Maintenance expenses mainly cover:

  • Battery health and occasional servicing

  • Tire wear and replacement over time

  • Brake upkeep and lubrications

  • Minor repairs and parts replacements

  • Electric vehicles generally have lower running costs due to fewer moving parts, lack of engine oil changes, and less frequent servicing needs compared to combustion engine vehicles. The absence of fuel costs also significantly reduces monthly expenses.

    Overall, a commuter or small cargo user can expect monthly maintenance and running costs around Rs. 2,500, making the E-Luna Prime a cost-effective electric moped solution.
