Back in January 2023, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) launched the Activa 6G H-Smart. This scooter came with keyless tech. Now, the bike maker is gearing up to launch the same technology in the Activa 125
What’s new in the Honda Activa 125 H-Smart?
Some of the features and details of the new upcoming Honda scooter have leaked online. Similar to the Activa 6G, the Activa 125 will now come with a smart key. This key allows the user to lock / unlock the handle bar, open the seat to reveal the storage and release the fuel lid without using the physical key. Additionally, the key can also help locate the scooter in a parking lot and comes with anti-theft safety features.
No mechanical changes in the Honda Activa 125 H-Smart
Honda is not expected to change the powertrain or any other mechanicals in the scooter. The Activa 125 H-Smart is likely to get the same 123.97 cc single-cylinder motor. This engine is good for 8.18 BHP @ 6,500 rpm and 10.3 Nm of peak torque @ 5,000 rpm. Transmission duties are handled by a CVT gearbox.
