Honda Activa Ev: Is This The Electric Ride We Have Been Waiting For

This one’s for the Honda Activa Ev. It is fitted with a dual swappable battery so that the total travel range on a full battery increases to almost 99 km, which is really decent for city-slicking commutes. And it comes with 6 kW power and 22 nm torque; so it is really sufficient for taking you away. Meanwhile, the battery swap option at Honda’s swapping stations is clever. If one isn’t looking to purchase a battery, one can even rent it. Now that’s flexible. Honda constructed swap stations in Bangalore; more will come.

A Good Feature That Is for Indian Roads Smart Thinking

Honda has been thinking about our roads, hasn’t she? The Honda Activa Ev still carries the tried and tested Activa shape; actually, it is a mixed bag. The 171 mm ground clearance is still promising and could have been better with a little more. The machine comes with 12-inch tyres, a disc brake at the front, and a drum brake at the rear. Plus, three driving modes – Standard, Sport, Economy and a reverse mode for smooth parking. Oh no, because of the swappable battery, boot space is small, but the front storage option with a USB charging port for your phone is really nice.

New age Innovations of Smart Keys and Techy Dashboards

Let’s move on to the technology part. For instance, the Honda Activa Ev features an H-Smart Key, and what additional features can you enjoy with the RoadSync Duo version? Smart find, smart safe, smart unlock, and smart start are among the cool features. Life just got a little better, didn’t it? The dashboards differ for the two variants. The standard variant features a 5-inch TFT screen with basic Bluetooth, while the RoadSync Duo variant has a 7-inch screen with turn-by-turn navigation and notification alerts. It’s like having a mini-computer on your scooter.

Pricing and Availability What is the Damage

Now, what everybody was waiting for – the price. The Activa e starts around Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom) for the standard variant, while the highest variant, or the RoadSync Duo, goes up to an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.70 lakh. The prices would vary depending on locations. As for the scooter weight, the standard variant weighs 115 kg, while the RoadSync Duo is 118 kg. And these scooters will be sold in the existing Honda stores. But Honda has been planning to open dedicated electric scooter showrooms very soon, so the process of purchasing will be easier. If one is planning to go electric, then the Activa E is something to check out. It is comfy, and familiar yet has modern tech rolled into one.
