Honda Activa e Launched: India’s Favorite Scooter Goes Electric in 2025!

24, December 2025. By -Kaushik

The wait is finally over! Honda has officially launched the Activa e – the electric version of India’s most beloved and best-selling scooter – marking the brand’s grand entry into the electric two-wheeler market. After years of anticipation and development, the Honda Activa e brings the legendary reliability, comfort, and practicality of the classic Activa into the zero-emission era. Unveiled at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 and now available in select cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai, this scooter promises to revolutionize daily commuting with clean, silent, and efficient performance.
For decades, the Honda Activa has dominated Indian roads, with millions of families trusting its smooth ride, low maintenance, and family-friendly design. The Activa e carries forward this legacy while embracing modern EV technology, including swappable batteries to eliminate range anxiety – a smart move tailored for Indian users.

Key Features of the Honda Activa e
The Honda Activa e retains the familiar, practical design that made the petrol Activa a household name, with subtle modern touches for an EV appeal. Here’s what makes it stand out:
Swappable Battery System — Equipped with two removable 1.5 kWh Honda Mobile Power Pack e: batteries located under the seat. These can be quickly swapped at Honda e:Swap stations in under a minute, offering ultimate convenience without the need for home charging infrastructure. This addresses one of the biggest concerns for EV buyers in India – range anxiety and charging time.
Powerful Yet Efficient Performance — A swingarm-mounted electric motor delivers a rated power of 6 kW (peak 8 bhp) and 22 Nm of torque. The scooter achieves 0-60 kmph in just 7.3 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 80 kmph. It comes with three riding modes – Eco, Standard, and Sport – allowing riders to choose between maximum efficiency and spirited performance.
Impressive Range — A single full charge (via swapped batteries) provides a claimed IDC range of 102 km, making it ideal for daily city commutes, office trips, and short errands.
Modern Tech & Connectivity — The scooter features a digital instrument cluster (TFT on higher variants) with Bluetooth connectivity through Honda RoadSync Duo. Enjoy turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and more right on your dashboard. Additional highlights include LED lighting, USB charging port, and smart features like Smart Find, Smart Unlock, and more on the top variant.
Comfort & Practicality — The familiar upright riding position, spacious floorboard, and comfortable seating ensure it’s family-friendly. However, note that the battery placement reduces under-seat storage compared to the petrol version. It weighs around 119 kg and offers good ground clearance of 171 mm.
Safety First — Front disc and rear drum brakes with a combined braking system provide confident stopping power. Tubeless tyres and Honda’s renowned build quality add to the peace of mind.

Expected Price & Variants Activa e
The Honda Activa e is priced competitively to attract both first-time EV buyers and loyal Activa fans:
Standard Variant — Starting at ₹1.17 lakh (ex-showroom)
RoadSync Duo (connected) Variant — Up to ₹1.52 lakh (ex-showroom)
Honda also offers flexible battery subscription plans (Battery-as-a-Service or BaaS), with options as low as ₹800/month (Lite plan), making ownership more affordable by separating the battery cost from the scooter price.
These prices position the Activa e against strong competitors like TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta, Ola S1 series, and Hero Vida models.

Why the Honda Activa e Could Be a Game-Changer
Honda’s late entry into the Indian EV scooter segment is actually a strength – the company has taken time to understand local needs, resulting in a practical, swap-based solution rather than forcing home charging. With expanding e:Swap stations and the trusted Activa badge, it has the potential to capture a massive share of the growing electric scooter market.
Early user feedback highlights the smooth, silent ride, zero maintenance hassles, and the joy of riding a “green” Activa. Many owners praise it as a perfect upgrade for families looking to cut fuel costs without compromising on comfort or reliability.
If you’re in Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, or nearby areas, head to your nearest Honda dealership to book a test ride. The Honda Activa e isn’t just an electric scooter – it’s the evolution of India’s most loved two-wheeler!
Stay tuned for more updates as Honda expands availability and battery network across India. The future of commuting is here – and it’s electric!
