Honda is all set to shake up the Indian scooter market once again—this time with electricity. The upcoming Honda Activa Electric, launching in 2025, combines the brand’s rock-solid reputation with eco-friendly tech.
It’s aimed at loyal Activa fans and a new generation of electric vehicle (EV) buyers. With a powerful battery, a stylish look, and reliable performance, it’s expected to be a major player in the electric scooter game.
Engine
Say goodbye to the petrol engine—Honda is going electric without sacrificing power. The Activa Electric will feature a high-performance electric motor, giving you smooth and silent acceleration. It’s designed to match the output of a 110cc petrol scooter, so expect familiar pickup and city-friendly agility.
Under the seat, a lithium-ion battery pack will replace the fuel tank. It’s built for efficiency, long life, and quick power delivery. This battery-motor combo is expected to offer seamless performance while cutting down on noise and emissions.
Mileage
One of the biggest questions for EVs is range, and Honda has a solid answer. The Activa Electric is expected to offer a range of about 100 km on a full charge. That’s more than enough for daily commutes, errands, and even short weekend trips.
Charging won’t take all day either. With fast-charging support, you can charge from 0 to 80% in just 2.5 to 3 hours—ideal for topping up at home or work.
Here’s a quick snapshot:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Motor Output | 110cc equivalent |
| Battery Type | Lithium-ion |
| Claimed Range | ~100 km |
| Charging Time (0-80%) | 2.5 – 3 hours |
Design
Honda isn’t messing with a winning formula when it comes to design. The Activa Electric will retain the familiar Activa look but with some modern upgrades—sleek lines, closed front fascia, and blue accents to highlight its electric DNA.
The scooter will get a fully digital instrument panel showing speed, range, battery level, and more. LED headlamps and tail lamps will add a stylish touch while improving visibility. It’s everything you love about the Activa—just sharper and smarter.
Features
Honda is loading this scooter with modern features to stay ahead of the competition. Expect goodies like:
- Keyless start
- Regenerative braking
- Multiple riding modes (Eco, Normal, Power)
- Reverse assist
- Bluetooth connectivity
There’s also talk of a dedicated smartphone app to help riders monitor battery health, navigation, and even locate the scooter remotely.
Comfort
Despite the electric upgrades, the Activa Electric will maintain the original’s ergonomic design and riding posture. Expect ample legroom, a comfortable seat, and a low center of gravity thanks to the battery placement, which makes it more stable and beginner-friendly.
It will also include telescopic suspension, alloy wheels, and tubeless tires for a smoother, more comfortable ride on bumpy roads.
Pricing
Price-wise, Honda seems to be playing smart. The expected price range is ₹1.10 to ₹1.20 lakh (ex-showroom). After applying FAME-II subsidies and possible state government incentives, the on-road price could become even more appealing.
To make ownership easier, Honda is likely to introduce EMI options, exchange bonuses, and maintenance packages—all designed to make the switch to electric painless.
Technology
Tech-savvy riders will love the built-in tech stack. The expected smartphone app will allow users to:
- Check battery status
- Navigate with GPS
- Track ride statistics
- Get service alerts
This integration will turn your phone into a dashboard, control center, and digital key—all rolled into one.
Performance
If you’re worried about performance, don’t be. The Activa Electric promises instant torque, smooth power delivery, and minimal maintenance, making it perfect for city traffic. It’s built for balance, quiet operation, and everyday usability, staying true to Honda’s legacy of reliability.
The quiet motor means no engine noise—just a whisper-quiet glide through traffic. Add to that Honda’s engineering, and you’re looking at one of the most dependable EV scooters to hit the roads.
With familiar comfort, futuristic features, and the trusted Activa name, this electric scooter is shaping up to be a total game-changer for India’s two-wheeler market. Whether you’re going green or simply looking for a cost-effective daily ride, the Honda Activa Electric might just be your perfect match.
