Design and features

The Activa e features attractive styling and a large 7-inch TFT display. Unlike the old-looking petrol Activa, the new Activa e, surprisingly, cuts a very fresh silhouette. And that’s no surprise since the Activa e: is a restyled CUV e: (a scooter sold in Europe).

While this is a modern design, it still has the measured approach that you’d find on a family scooter, and in that sense, Honda has walked that tightrope pretty well. 

The scooter we rode was the top Road Sync Duo variant, which gets a large 7-inch TFT display.

As is the case with most modern vehicles, you can pair your Smartphone to this dash via Honda’s app and get notification alerts as well as navigation prompts. The UI is also beautifully straightforward in typical Japanese fashion.

Ride and Handling

Zippy performance and straightforward riding experience. Those of you expecting a very ‘Activa’ riding experience will be pleasantly surprised to know that this electric avatar is actually unlike its name in that department. 

  • The first thing you will notice is that the ride of the Activa e is surprisingly firm.
  • It is not harsh or stiff, however, but those of you used to the soft, mushy nature of the petrol Activa will be shocked.
  • The fact that it weighs 12kg more than the Activa 125 could be a reason behind this.
  • Then, there’s the superb performance too.
  • Apart from the Eco mode, there are two other modes – Standard and Sport – and acceleration is energetic in the Activa E.
  • It can easily touch 90 kmph without any hassle.
  • And thanks to the 12-inch wheels, handling is assured as well.
