cooter manufacturer Kinetic Motor Company has launched another gearless scooter - the Kinetic 4s. It now comes with a new 115 cc, four-stroke engine and promises a mileage of 60 km a litre. With a metal body, it is equipped with all accessories including an extra stepney tyre at a price of Rs 38,292 (ex showroom). Over six million Kinetic vehicles have been sold in India and exported around the world. After the slump that has been plaguing Kinetic for nearly over two years now, the company is probably hoping that the 4s - and a focus on scooters - will help it turn around. Most analysts feel that Kinetic�s troubles are because of its earlier misadventure with motorcycles.
