Expert's Opinion on Activa e

Overview

The ELECTRIC Activa

The Honda Activa e: is the electric counterpart of the petrol-powered Activa
It gets two swappable batteries
The scooter gets loads of features and looks the part but has a subscription-based model which affects the value-for-money quotient of the scooter

Design

A Thoroughbred Honda

It gets a simple yet distinctive design thanks to the apron-mounted LED headlight and LED DRL on the handlebar cowl
The overall silhouette is similar to the ICE Activa and looks quite good
The fit-and-finish levels are really good

Performance & Mileage

Adequate Enough

Delivers a peak output of 6kW and has three riding modes: Eco, Standard and Sport
Does the 0-60kmph sprint in a claimed 7.3 seconds
Has a claimed top-speed of 80kmph
Acceleration is quite smooth and the throttle calibration is on point
Has more than enough performance for city riding in the Sport mode
The Eco mode is quite slow and lacks the punch to perform overtakes

Handling

Nimble And Fun

The stiff suspension allows the scooter to be very flickable and fun to ride in the city
It is very manoeuvrable and cuts through the traffic without any difficulty
Brakes are very good and offer enough bite to stop on its heels
Tyres offer good grip and inspires the rider with confidence

Ride Quality

Could Have Been Better

The ride quality is decent for Indian roads
It gets better with a pillion on board and absorbs bumps well
It will feel stiff for a solo rider and might get uncomfortable after a while

Comfort & Storage

Compromised Practicality

The seat is spacious, wide and well-padded for two adults
Riding posture is upright and one will not feel fatigued over long-distance commutes
The scooter gets two small cubby holes on the apron which further adds practicality
It lacks underseat storage capacity as the batteries are located underneath the seat

Features

Quite Extensive

The top-spec variant gets a 7-inch TFT display which is crisp and easy to read
Gets dedicated switchgear on the left side of the handlebar to navigate through the TFT
Reverse mode is quite unique and requires the rider to press two buttons simultaneously to enable it

Verdict

Should you buy the Honda Activa e:?

The Honda Activa e: is a smooth and simple electric scooter
It has decent performance, lots of features, handles well and is very comfortable
It lacks practicality as it offers very little storage options
The scooter is expensive and subscription is required to ride the scooter on a daily basis to use the swapping station which further deteriorates the cost of owning the scooter

Battery & Charging

Quick And Hassle Free

Uses two swappable 1.5kWh batteries which provide a claimed range of 102km
Batteries can only be swapped at Honda's battery swapping stations and is a very quick process
Batteries cannot be charged at home
Range will vary in different riding modes but is not visible on the display
Batteries require a subscription plan which adds a premium over the cost of the scooter

Key Things to Know about Activa e

Upside

The silhouette is similar to its ICE counterpart and it is a design that has been loved by the masses
102km of claimed riding range should make it adequate for approximately four days of daily commuting
Batteries are swappable via stations which eliminates the the need to wait for the scooter to charge
The 7.0-inch TFT looks nice and also gets turn-by-turn navigation

Downside

Because of the swappable battery tech, there is no under seat storage space
Base variant misses out on Honda RoadSync Duo connectivity features
Will only be available in Delhi Bengaluru and Mumbai in the first phase

Expert's Conclusion

The Honda Activa e : is a scooter that features two swappable 1.5 kWh batteries. It is said to offer a riding range of 102km on a full charge and has a claimed top-speed of 80kmph. With swappable battery charging stations, riders will not have to worry about waiting around while their scooter charges. Instead, the process will be as quick as filling up a full tank of fuel. Although, with this technology, it might not be the best pick for riders that require under seat storage space.

The honda activa electric is a splendid electric two wheeler bike which is marked at an affordable range but the features in exchange are totally worth it. There are many colour options available. The looks are very decent and better than a normal scooter. One can totally go for it and replace their current models with this. The ground clearance is good.
