Honda Activa Electric Engine, Specifications, and Performance           

As the manufacturer did not provide enough details, it’s difficult to speak precisely about the powertrain of this e-scooter. However, it is expected to be equipped with an efficient electric motor, powered by a 3-4kWh battery pack. It should be capable of delivering a peak power output of 5000-6000W and torque of up to 25 Nm. With these deliveries, the scooter shall be able to achieve a top speed of at least up to 80 km/h. It should also lead to a swift acceleration, making it a great choice for busy city maneuvers. Moreover, the Honda Activa Electric is envisaged to deliver a riding range of up to 140-170 km.

Moving further on to specifications, this scooter shall get a similar suspension, wheels, and braking setup to the Activa 6G. It should incorporate a telescopic fork in the front and a 3-step preload adjustable rear suspension. It shall ride on 10-12-inch alloy wheels sporting tubeless tyres at both ends. Further, the braking setup shall include a disc brake at least in the front, to offer precise stopping power. The rear end can have a drum brake or perhaps an optional disc brake.

It must be similar to its petrol-powered version in terms of dimensions too. We expected it to have a length of 1,830-1840mm, a width of 690-700mm, and a height of 1,156mm. Additionally, the ground clearance could be 170-180mm, adding to the ride quality.

Additionally, there shall be sharper lines and substantial chrome detailing on the front apron. The e-scooter shall feature a single seat, a pillion grab bar, and a spacious floorboard, making it ergonomically efficient. Besides, the tail light should be wide and flanked by integrated turn indicators.
