The Wait is Over! Electric Activa is Here for Activa Lovers: Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) thrilled Activa fans by launching the much-awaited Activa Electric on July 10, 2025, at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Priced from ₹1.17 lakh to ₹1.52 lakh (ex-showroom), this eco-friendly scooter promises a game-changing 200 km range and a full charge in just 30 minutes with fast-charging stations. Built on Honda’s trusted Activa legacy, it blends modern style, zippy performance, and green tech to rival the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and Ola S1. X users are buzzing, calling it “the ultimate commuter!” Here’s why the Activa Electric is set to electrify India’s roads.
Stylish Design with a Familiar Feel
The Activa Electric keeps the classic Activa look but adds a futuristic edge. Its sleek LED headlight, sharp DRLs, and clean body panels give it a premium vibe. At 1,850 mm long, 710 mm wide, and 1,175 mm tall, with 171 mm ground clearance, it’s perfect for city streets and bumpy roads. Available in five colors—Pearl Serenity Blue, Matt Foggy Silver, Pearl Misty White, Pearl Shallow Blue, and Pearl Igneous Black—it’s a head-turner. On X, riders say, “It’s the Activa we love, but cooler!” Some wish for bolder graphics, but the 12-inch alloy wheels and slim LED tail light keep it chic.
Power-Packed Performance
The Activa Electric boasts a 6 kW (8 hp) swingarm-mounted electric motor with 22 Nm of torque, hitting 0-60 kmph in 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 80 kmph. Its dual 1.5 kWh swappable lithium-ion batteries deliver a 200 km range in Eco mode, per Honda’s claims, though real-world tests suggest 150-160 km in mixed conditions. Three riding modes—Eco, Standard, and Sport—let you switch between efficiency and power. X reviews praise the “smooth, punchy ride,” but some note the Sport mode drains the battery faster. A reverse mode makes parking a breeze.
Lightning-Fast Charging
Honda’s e:Swap battery stations, now in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai, allow a full charge in just 30 minutes by swapping batteries, a big leap from the 5-6 hours with a standard charger. The 3 kWh battery setup supports fast charging, cutting downtime for daily commuters. A subscription plan—₹1,999/month for 40 km/day or ₹3,599 for 100 km/day—covers battery swaps, though some X users call it “pricey.” Home charging to 80% takes 4 hours, ideal for overnight use. The system’s convenience is a hit, with one X post saying, “Swap and go—game-changer!”
Loaded with Smart Features
The Activa Electric shines with tech. The top RoadSync Duo variant has a 7-inch TFT display with navigation, music controls, and Bluetooth, while the base model gets a 5-inch LCD. Features include a smart key, LED lighting, a USB-C port, and 22 liters of under-seat storage. Safety is solid with a 160 mm front disc brake, 130 mm rear drum, and tubeless tires. On X, riders love the “fancy dashboard,” but some miss regenerative braking to boost range. The 119 kg weight and plush suspension make it nimble and comfy on rough roads.
Pricing and Availability
Starting at ₹1.17 lakh for the Standard variant and ₹1.52 lakh for the RoadSync Duo (ex-showroom), the Activa Electric’s on-road price in Delhi ranges from ₹1.25 lakh to ₹1.62 lakh. EMI begins at ₹3,383/month with a ₹12,000 down payment (9.45% interest, 36 months). Bookings are open at honda2wheelersindia.com or Honda’s 5,000+ dealerships, with deliveries from August 2025. A 3-year/50,000 km warranty and three free services add value. X users say, “Worth it for Honda’s reliability!” but some worry about swap station access in smaller towns. Check for festive offers like ₹5,000 cashback.
