Kinetic Honda is the name given to a gearless automatic motorscooters, made in India by the Kinetic Motor Company, whilst they were in partnership with the Japanese company Honda. They were sold in the late 1980s and early 1990s - at point which the partnership was terminated - and are still in common usage all over India. They use continuously variable transmission and have an air-cooled engine.

The scooters are based on the Honda NH series.
