It may sound unbelievable, but the first time I came across the Kinetic Nova was not in India but in Canada! I was really impressed that an Indian two wheeler was holding its own in an advanced country, and getting good acceptance.
Anyway then I came back to India and a couple of months later, when I was searching for a two wheeler, I decided I must at least consider the Nova. I had already seen it in Canada but it was in Mumbai that I took a test ride and was really impressed by the vehicle’s design, smoothness and the zip it had. Plus the price seemed more than reasonable so I booked a black-silver one on the spot.
Now after some usage and experience, I am ready to say that this thunderbolt from Kinetic has really given me UMEED SE DUGNA. its given me more mileage than I expected, its storage has been very useful, esp for helmet and its proven to be so reliable and trouble free that it indeed is a worthy successor to the previous Kinetic scooter which everyone loved for many years for its features and rock solid reliability. I know people who still ride 15-18 year old Kinetics and swear by them, saying they would never switch. but I tell them they can go for the nova 135 without any apprehension.
Its really the BIG B of two wheelers. Solid performer, can be always depended on and will invariable bring a smile to your face!! Like Big B is the best of Indian cinema, and at least as good as any actor in the world, the Nova 135 is the best of Indian two wheelers and at least as good as any vehicle of its type and class in the world.
And I am sure it will also become equally popular!
Being a true blue big b fan, believe me the nova135 has impressed me a lot to warrant this comparison.
Will update review after some more months and experience.
