Honda Activa electric teased, expected to get 100 km range on full charge
Honda has released a fresh teaser for its much-anticipated Activa Electric scooter, providing a glimpse of the vehicle’s electric motor. While the manufacturer has not disclosed the full specifications, the teaser hints at the motor being positioned conventionally next to the rear wheel, similar to many petrol-powered scooters.
Design Details
The teaser also showcases the scooter’s monoshock suspension and a single-piece seat, underlining its urban-friendly design. The Activa Electric is expected to offer a familiar look and feel while incorporating modern touches to appeal to electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts.
Expected Performance
Although Honda has not shared detailed performance figures, market speculation suggests the Activa Electric will deliver capabilities comparable to its petrol counterpart, the Honda Activa 110. Industry sources anticipate a range of approximately 100 km on a single charge and a top speed of around 90 km/hr, making it suitable for urban commuting.
Market Positioning
The Activa Electric marks one of Honda’s most significant entries into the EV space in recent years. Positioned as a practical and efficient urban runabout, the scooter aims to cater to commuters looking for a reliable and eco-friendly alternative.
Competition in the Segment
The electric scooter will face stiff competition in the growing EV market, going head-to-head with established players such as the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather 450X and the Ola S1 range. Honda’s extensive dealer network and the Activa brand’s established reputation could give it a competitive edge.
Industry Impact
The launch of the Honda Activa Electric is expected to boost the EV adoption rate in India, offering a trusted brand name for consumers transitioning from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles.
