Honda Activa E: Honda has officially introduced its inaugural electric scooter, the Activa E, in India. This model significantly differs from the traditional petrol Activa in its design. Additionally, it boasts numerous features that set it apart within its category, including a swappable battery system. The scooter will be available in five distinct color options.
Currently, the pricing details for this scooter have not been revealed. For those considering booking the Activa E, here are five standout features that enhance its appeal. The design of the Honda Activa E is both simple and visually appealing, catering to the preferences of both young riders and families. It includes features such as an apron-mounted LED headlamp and LED daytime running lights on the handlebar cowl. The rear is equipped with an LED tail light that adds to its aesthetic, featuring a dark smoke effect on the tail light cluster.
Battery option and mileage
The available color options include Pearl Shallow Blue, Pearl Misty White, Pearl Serenity Blue, Matte Foggy Silver Metallic, and Pearl Igneous Black. The Honda Activa E is powered by a 1.5kWh swappable battery, with a total capacity of 3kWh, allowing for a range of up to 102 km on a full charge. However, the batteries cannot be removed for home charging; they must be replaced or charged at designated Honda battery stations once depleted.
Features
The top variant of the Activa E features a large TFT display that remains legible in bright sunlight, along with Bluetooth connectivity, incoming call alerts, and navigation capabilities. It is important to note that this display is not a touchscreen; users will need to utilize the toggle switch on the handlebar for navigation.
This new electric scooter is equipped with a swing arm-mounted motor that delivers a peak output of 6kW, enabling acceleration from 0 to 60 km/h in just 7.3 seconds. It offers three riding modes: Eco, Standard, and Sport, with a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Honda has made a significant entry into the electric scooter market in India with the launch of the Activa E.
