Honda’s entry into the electric scooter market is making waves with the debut of their first ever electric rides, the Activa E and QC1. The company’s move marries high-end features and cutting-edge tech with the well-known dependability of the classic Activa.
Look and Feel of Activa E
Imitating its ICE sibling, the Activa E reveals a forward-thinking design. It’s equipped with LED lights that serve both as headlamps and turn signals upfront and at the back giving it a standout vibe. This scooter keeps the well-loved Activa vibe but adds a sprinkle of contemporary design elements that highlight its electric soul.
Motors and Zoom of Activa E
Right at its core, the Activa E sports a sweet permanent magnet synchronous electric motor. This bad boy kicks out 6 kW of peak power and a solid 22 Nm of torque. Trust this powerhouse to zip the scooter from zero all the way to 60 km/h in a mere 7.3 seconds, and it doesn’t stop until it hits 80 km/h.
QC1 Performance Specs
So, the QC1 packs this neat little in-wheel electric motor, right? It pumps out 1.8 kW of peak power and a staggering 77 Nm torque. With this gear, you’re cruising to a handy top speed of 50 km/h — just what you need for weaving through the city.
Tech and Perks
Honda loaded these scooters with cool stuff to make the ride easier. The Activa E’s got a fancy 7-inch TFT screen that lets you see maps and hook up your phone with the Honda RoadSync Duo app. On the QC1, you got a useful 5-inch LCD that tells you your speed and how much juice you got left in the battery.
Keeping You Safe and Making Rides Handy
The scooters pack a bunch of safety features and handy bits and pieces. Tuck away your gear in the QC1’s 26-liters of space under the seat and there’s even a USB Type-C spot to charge your gadgets. They’re both getting built at the Honda plant in Narsapura, near Bengaluru. You also get a deal of 3-year or 50,000 km warranty and trio services on the house in year one.
Power and How Far You Can Go
The Activa E rocks a pair of exchangeable Honda Mobile Power Pack E batteries, and each one’s got 1.5 kWh of juice. Together, they pack enough power to cruise for 102 km. Honda’s gone and set up spots for battery swapping in both Bengaluru and Delhi, with Mumbai set to get its own pretty soon.
Where You Can Get It
To kick things off, peeps can snag either scooter model in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Hope you marked your calendars, ’cause bookings are gonna drop in January 2025, and those sweet rides will start rolling out the next month. Honda’s got plans up its sleeve to spread the love to more cities down the road.
Stuff People Ask A Lot
So, about the Activa E’s distance reach, it cruises for 102 km before needing another charge-up. And hey, you wanna know how fast it zips? The Activa E blasts off to a cool 80 km/h, but the QC1 is a bit more chill capping at 50 km/h. Riding choices? You’ve got three vibes with this one – Econ, Standard, and Sport. Now, for anyone antsy to get their hands on one, hold tight, ’cause they’re shipping ’em out starting February 2025. Oh, and the sweet deal they throw in? Both these scooters are tagged with a warranty that’s good for 3 years or till you hit 50,000 km.
