The new Honda Activa e is the company’s first e-scooter for India, which was unveiled alongside the Honda QC1. The ACtiva will go on sale early next year in three cities – Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi – and booking will open in January. That said, the new Honda Active e will be available in two variants — Activa e and Activa e RoadSync Duo. Here are the differences between the two electric Activa variants.
Honda Activa e and Activa e RoadSync Duo — Differences explained
The two Honda Activa e variants share a lot in common, the telescopic suspension, a monoshock at the rear, disc brake at the front, drum brake at the rear, alloy wheels, LED lighting, and 12-inch tyres. The first difference comes in the form of the instrument cluster, as the base Activa e variant gets a 5-inch TFT, the range-topping Activa e RoadSync Duo gets a 7-inch TFT unit.
The next big difference is the connectivity features the larger TFT brings. The Activa e RoadSync Duo gets a topple alert, call and music control, maintenance alert, live tracking, navigation, and OTA updates. All these connectivity features are skipped with the base Activa e model.
Honda Activa e and Activa e RoadSync Duo — Battery specifications
In terms of battery specifications, both models get a 3kWh battery pack, capable of 102km range. The batteries are removable and cannot be charged on the scooter. The Activa has a top speed of 80kmph and can accelerate from 0–60kmph in 7.3 seconds. They get three riding modes – Eco, Standard, and Sport – and a reverse function.
