Honda is a name every Indian knows when it comes to scooters, especially the Activa. For years, the Honda Activa has been the most trusted and bestselling scooter across the country. Now, Honda is entering the electric scooter market with its brand-new Honda Activa e. This electric version aims to continue the same success, but in a more eco-friendly and future-ready way.
With growing petrol prices and pollution issues, many people are switching to electric vehicles. Honda Activa e is a smart choice for people who want a reliable electric scooter that also gives them comfort, performance, and brand trust.
Battery and Range: How Far Can It Go?
The most important thing in any electric scooter is the battery and how much distance it can cover on a full charge. The Honda Activa e is expected to come with a lithium-ion battery, which will be both lightweight and powerful.
- Battery Type: Advanced lithium-ion (non-removable)
- Expected Range: 100–110 km on a single charge
- Charging Time: Around 5 to 6 hours for a full charge
This range is more than enough for most people’s daily needs like school, college, office, and shopping trips. You can charge it at home using a normal plug point, which makes it very convenient.
Performance and Riding Comfort
Though it’s an electric scooter, Honda promises that the Activa e will not compromise on power and comfort. It will offer smooth pickup and easy riding for all age groups.
- Top Speed: Expected to be around 60–65 km/h
- Power: Smooth and quiet motor for city rides
- Modes: Likely to include Eco and Power modes for different riding styles
The riding posture, seat height, and suspension are all similar to the regular Activa, so riders won’t feel a big change when switching from petrol to electric.
Features and Technology
Honda is expected to add modern features to the Activa e to make it future-ready and attractive for tech-savvy buyers.
- Fully Digital Display: Speed, battery level, range, trip meter, and more
- LED Headlamp and Tail Lamp: Bright lights for night safety
- Smartphone Connectivity: Might include app support for vehicle tracking and battery alerts
- USB Charging Port: For mobile charging on the go
- Keyless Entry or Smart Key: Could be added for convenience
These features aim to give a modern and premium feel to the scooter while keeping it easy to use.
Design and Build Quality
Honda is likely to keep the Activa e’s design simple yet modern, very similar to the regular Activa. This helps older users feel familiar and also attracts younger buyers.
- Seat Height: Around 765 mm, ideal for Indian roads
- Boot Space: Spacious under-seat storage
- Build: Strong fiber body, stylish look, and practical design
- Wheels: Alloy wheels with tubeless tyres
- Suspension: Telescopic front and single shock absorber at the rear
The scooter is expected to come in multiple colors to suit all tastes.
Expected Price and Launch
Honda is expected to launch the Activa e at a competitive price to take on rivals like Ola S1, TVS iQube, and Ather 450X.
- Expected Price: ₹1 lakh to ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Launch Date: Mid to late 2025 (as per reports)
With government subsidies and rising interest in EVs, this price range will make the Activa e a value-for-money option.
The Honda Activa e is more than just a scooter—it’s a big step towards clean and smart transport in India. It brings Honda’s trusted quality with a silent, smooth, and eco-friendly ride. With good range, smart features, and a design everyone knows, it is a great choice for both new and experienced riders. As more people move to electric vehicles, the Activa e is all set to lead this change. Whether you are a college student or a working professional, this electric scooter will suit your daily life with ease and comfort.
