The Honda QC1 is the newest electric scooter in the lineup by Honda, specifically targeted for the budget-conscious Indian commuter. The range is an impressive 80km, the top speed 50km/h, and it is fitted with LED lights and lots of storage. Here’s how this will do in daily city rides.
Introduction
Are you on a hunt for an affordable and inexpensive electric scooter to ride the streets of India’s crowded cities? And here comes the lowest price that I have found in Honda’s new budget-friendly electric scooter QC1, launched during the India Mobility Expo 2025. Priced at Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), the QC1 focuses more on providing essential features and an easily comfortable ride than spending a premium that was found in its other contenders.
Performance and Range
At its core is a 1.5kWh fixed battery pack. That alone is enough to ensure a respectable range of 80 kilometers per charge for most daily commutes. It also boasts a top speed of 50 km/h, perfect for city traffic. Charging the scooter is very convenient as it can be fully charged in about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
To cater to different riding styles, the QC1 offers two riding modes: Eco and Standard. Eco mode prioritizes range and efficiency, while Standard mode delivers a more spirited performance. The scooter also comes equipped with provisions for charging your mobile devices, a thoughtful inclusion for today’s connected riders.
Practical Design and Features
Honda has focused on practicality in the design of the QC1. It has a generous under-seat storage space that can hold helmets and other essentials. The flat footboard makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. Safety is paramount, and the QC1 reflects this with drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels. The suspension system, comprising telescopic forks at the front and dual springs at the rear, ensures a comfortable ride even on uneven Indian roads.
Modern Aesthetics
The Honda QC1 is elegant and sleek for a modern approach. The latest all-LED lighting includes extremely bright LED headlights along with taillights to maintain visibility while maintaining a stylish image. There’s a cubby hole, helpful for small bits like keys or phones.
Conclusion
The Honda QC1 makes a very appealing proposition for the Indian commuter seeking an affordable, practical electric scooter. Its competitive pricing, decent range, practical features, and comfortable ride make it a strong contender in the burgeoning electric two-wheeler market. If you are looking for a reliable, hassle-free way to navigate city traffic while embracing sustainable mobility, then the Honda QC1 is worth considering.
