Kinetic
India's Ciao-style moped
// The story
Kinetic is an Indian moped maker. Its bikes were sold in America for roughly ten years starting in the mid-1990s, which makes them one of the newer mopeds you'll see at a meet.
The best known is the TFR, later sold as the TFR-USA, plus the Magnum and the Snap. TFR supposedly stands for "Telescopic Front and Rear."
Under the plastic it's a close copy of the Vespa Ciao drivetrain, so a lot of Vespa engine parts and performance parts fit. The standard TFR is a single speed and the Magnum gets a variator.
