Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) breathed new life into the struggling scooter market in 2001 with the introduction of the iconic Activa. Despite initial doubts and skepticism, the Activa quickly gained popularity and has since remained the best-selling scooter in India.
While HMSI may have been slower than some competitors to enter the electric two-wheeler segment, the company is now gearing up to launch the highly anticipated Activa Electric. Here’s what we know so far:
Launch Timeline:
- HMSI CEO Tsutsumu Otani confirmed that the Activa Electric is in the pipeline and was originally scheduled for a 2024 launch.
- Due to unforeseen circumstances, the launch has been pushed back to March 2025.
Expected Features:
- The Activa Electric is likely to be built on a new platform designed to accommodate the battery pack.
- While specific details about range and power output are still under wraps, the scooter is expected to cater to a wide range of consumers.
- Honda is likely to opt for a fixed battery pack, similar to its traditional approach.
- The Activa Electric is expected to feature a touchscreen display with Bluetooth connectivity, offering various smart features.
Market Competition: The Activa Electric will compete with other popular electric scooters like the Ola Electric, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube, and Ather 450X.
