The anticipation around Honda’s upcoming electric scooter, the Activa Electric, continues to build as the company recently released a new teaser revealing the electric motor. Scheduled to launch on November 27, 2024, the Activa Electric is generating excitement and speculation about its potential to revolutionize the electric two-wheeler market in India.
Motor and Performance
The latest teaser provides a glimpse of the electric motor, which is prominently branded with Honda’s iconic logo. The motor’s design suggests it has been optimized for reliability and efficiency, positioning the Activa Electric as a strong competitor within the segment. Honda has hinted that the performance of the Activa Electric will be similar to its popular 110cc petrol-powered Activa, making it an attractive option for those looking to switch to electric mobility without compromising on performance.
Design and Features
In addition to the motor, the teaser also showcases the scooter’s long seat design, which emphasizes comfort for both the rider and passenger. The Activa Electric is expected to feature advanced connectivity options, such as over-the-air (OTA) updates and built-in navigation to guide riders to nearby charging stations. These features position the Activa Electric as more than just a scooter; it becomes an integral part of a tech-savvy, connected lifestyle.
Range and Charging
Honda has also revealed that the Activa Electric will come with dual swappable Mobile Power Packs, potentially extending the scooter’s range to over 100 km on a full charge. This is a significant improvement for urban riders who value convenience and extended range capabilities. The scooter is also expected to offer fast charging capabilities, further enhancing its appeal to potential buyers.
Market Impact
The Activa Electric is set to compete with other electric scooters in the Indian market, such as the Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, Ather Rizta, and Ola S1. The scooter is expected to be priced aggressively.
