Honda Scooter and Motorcycle India is all set to enter the Indian electric two-wheeler market with the launch of its first EV on 27 November 2024. Expected to be called the Activa electric scooter, the launch of the two-wheeler will be a significant step for the Japanese automaker to compete against models like TVS iQube, Hero Vida, Ather Rizta, Ola S1, and Bajaj Chetak. Before the launch, the manufacturer revealed multiple details of the vehicle via teasers. Here are all the details of the EV we know so far.
Honda Activa E: Design
The brand has kept quiet about the details of the Honda Activa Electric. However, one of the teasers gave a sneak peek at the headlight of the scooter, which is complemented by the presence of a Honda logo integrated into the apron of the scooter. Chances are the design of the scooter will have some similarities with the CUV-e showcased by the brand in the global market.

Along with this, the brand is expected to offer a long wide seat with the scooter. Under the seat, the scooter will likely have a swappable battery setup consisting of two battery packs. Although it will offer convenience, there might be a loss of under-seat storage and, in turn, practicality. The brand also released a teaser showing a compact charger that is placed near the footboard of the EV. How this setup plays out remains to be seen.
