Honda has finally launched its first electric scooter, Activa E, in India. This scooter is completely different from the petrol Activa in terms of design. Not only this, it also has many features that make it special in its segment. Also, it has the facility of a swappable battery. You will get this scooter in 5 color options.
At present, the price of this scooter has not been disclosed. If you are also planning to book Activa e, then here we are telling you 5 such features that make this scooter very special.
Stylish design of Honda Activa e
The design of the Honda Activa E is simple as well as attractive. It has been designed keeping in mind the youth as well as the family class. It has features like an apron-mounted LED headlamp and LED DRL on the handlebar cowl. The LED tail light has been given at the rear and from here this scooter looks very beautiful, with a dark smoke effect on the LED tail light cluster.
It is offered in five color options, which are Pearl Shallow Blue, Pearl Misty White, Pearl Serenity Blue, Matte Foggy Silver Metallic, and Pearl Igneous Black.
Swappable battery facility
The Honda Activa e-scooter has a 1.5kWh swappable battery, which has a total capacity of 3kWh. After a full charge, it can cover a distance of up to 102 km. However, these batteries cannot be removed and charged at home. After the battery of this scooter runs out of charge, you can replace or charge it only by going to Honda’s swappable battery station.
In such a situation, Honda will create many stations for swappable batteries. Swapping stations are likely to be opened according to daily users. Let us tell you that recently 84 swapping stations have been started in Bangalore.
Large TFT display
The top variant of Activa e will get a large TFT display which can be easily read even in sunlight. It will have Bluetooth connectivity, incoming call alerts, and navigation. But this display is not a touchscreen and you will have to use the toggle switch on the handlebar to navigate the settings.
Powerful motor
This new Honda electric scooter uses a swing arm-mounted motor, which gives a peak output of 6kW. It is claimed that it can accelerate from 0-60kmph in just 7.3 seconds. It has three riding modes, which are Eco, Standard, and Sport. Its top speed is 80kmph.
When will the delivery start
Honda has introduced the new Activa e in India. But its price will be announced in January 2025 next year. Booking of this electric scooter has started. At the same time, the delivery of this scooter will start in February 2025.
