Kinetic Motor is planning to export its recently launched Blaze range of motoscooters to Japan.  The company has launched the 165 cc Blaze, which is a large format scooter with big wheels.

This is the first of the seven designs Kinetic Motor acquired from Italian two-wheeler major Italjet SpA. Blaze is an original design from world-famous two wheeler designer and enthusiast Leopoldo Tartarini.

The first shipment is of one container, and the company intends to export 250 scooters in the next three-four months, Sulajja Firodia Motwani, managing director of Kinetic Motor, said.

"We believe there exists tremendous potential for the Italiano series in the global markets as these are glamorous, true-blue Italian designs at very inviting prices. When we acquired the seven scooters and their production lines from Italjet SpA, we also made it a point to acquire sole global distribution rights to them. We intend to fully capitalise on the opportunity," Motwani said.

According to Motwani, motoscooters are gaining popularity in Japan's large cities like Tokyo where traffic is congested and parking is difficult. Despite this, style is important in that market.

"Blaze is distinguished from its Japanese counterparts by its gorgeous, detailed styling, and is at par with them in features, performance, quality and comfort," she added.

Motwani added that the first shipment is scheduled to leave in August.
