Honda To Introduce Activa Electric Next Year Followed By An Electric Moped

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) will introduce multiple products in the electric vehicle segment in the next ten years. The first model is expected to make its debut on March 2024. The Japanese manufacturer could even tease an early prototype of the upcoming electric scooter when the company announces its plans on March 29th.

As per reports, Honda will offer electric two-wheelers in three categories – Electric Bikes, Electric Mopeds, and Electric vehicles. These products will be distinguished in terms of top speed. The top speed of the electric bikes will be limited to 25 kmph, the electric mopeds will have a top speed of around 50 kmph, and the electric vehicles will be faster than 50 kmph.

The first EV from Honda Motorcycle will be the Activa Electric, followed by a moped that will come with a swappable alternative. HMSI however aims to deploy its battery-swapping technology for its customers in the long run.

During the launch of Honda Activa 6G on January 2023, Atsushi Ogata, Managing Director, President and CEO – HMSI India, was quoted saying the company is considering utilising its existing sales infrastructure of over 6,000 outlets to set up charging infrastructure for its EV range and later depending on the market situation would take a call on expanding it further.
