Honda Activa e: The new e-scooter in town to rival Ola S1, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta
The Activa e, which is Honda's first electric scooter for the Indian market, will take on the likes of the Ola S1, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Ather Rizta.
The Honda Activa e launch in India will take place in January 2025. Its bookings will open on January 1, while the deliveries will start in February 2025.
The Honda Activa e has five colour options -- Pearl Shallow Blue, Pearl Misty White, Pearl Serenity Blue, Matt Foggy Silver Metallic and Pearl Igneous Black.
The Honda Activa electric scooter range is claimed to be 102km on a single full charge. This is with two swappable batteries of 1.5kWh each. It can touch 60kmph from a standstill in 7.3 seconds with the top speed claimed to be 80kmph.
The Honda Activa e price has not been announced yet. But we expect it to be around Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). Its batteries will be offered under Battery as a Service (BaaS) model, meaning you will not have to pay the battery cost upfront.
The Honda Activa electric scooter will be initially available in Bengaluru. After that Delhi and Mumbai will get these scooters. Honda's plan is to introduce this electric scooter across the country in a phased manner.
