New Delhi. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India will launch its first electric scooter Activa EV on November 27. The company has already released a few teasers about this scooter. Now there is news that the design and many features of this electric scooter may be inspired by the company’s CUV e electric scooter, which was unveiled at the 2024 EICMA trade fair.

Honda had previously shown the CUV e concept at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show, which may share similarities with the Activa Electric in terms of design and features.

Design and functions
Honda has given a glimpse of its design in the Activa Electric teaser. The design of the scooter’s headlight, seat and electric motor is very similar to the CUV e. CUV e offers a glimpse of a traditional scooter with a modern design. It includes elements such as a smooth surface, a slim taillight bar and fascia-mounted headlights.

This scooter is available in three color options including Pearl Jubilee White, Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic and Premium Silver Metallic.

Display and connectivity
For drivers, there will be an optional dual TFT display, which can include 5-inch and 7-inch screens. The large screen supports smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync Duo. This system allows Bluetooth pairing for calls, music control and navigation. Other features include a USB-C charging port and 12-inch alloy wheels on both sides.

Features of CUV e
Looking at the specifications of the CUV e, the Activa Electric is also expected to get some similar features:
– Seat height: 765 mm
– Wheelbase: 1,311 mm
– Ground clearance: 270 mm
– Weight: 118kg
– Reverse mode: This allows the scooter to be easily driven backwards even in tight spaces.
– Three driving modes: Standard, Sport and Econ

Battery and performance
The CUV e has a 1.3 kWh removable battery that generates a maximum power of up to 6 kW. The maximum speed is 80 km/h and the range is up to 70 km when fully charged. Charging the battery from 0 to 75% takes approximately 3 hours. The Activa EV also uses MRF tires that were specifically developed for city traffic. Once launched, this scooter could prove to be an important step for Honda in electric mobility.
