      Honda Activa Achieves 35 Million Sales Milestone – India’s #1 Scooter

      by

      Honda Activa Achieves 35 Million MilestoneSeveral factors such as reliability, fuel efficiency and practicality have ensured consistently high sales for Honda Activa
      Introduced in India in 2001, Honda Activa has achieved various milestones over the years. The latest record is cumulative sales of 35 million units, comprising the Activa 110, Activa 125 and the Activa-i. This makes the Honda Activa India’s best-selling scooter ever. Let’s get more details on this riveting journey.
      Honda Activa achieves 35 million sales milestone
      It took around 14 years for Honda Activa to reach the 10 million sales milestone. This was achieved in 2015. The next 10 million sales came in just three years in 2018. And now, in 2025, Activa sales have reached the 35-million mark. Activa remains to be the top selling Honda two-wheeler vehicle in India, contributing more than 50% to the brand’s overall sales.
      Honda Activa became popular, as it revolutionized urban mobility with its gearless design. Activa became synonymous with reliability and durability, making it the preferred choice among the masses. The scooter has a simple, yet elegant and practical design that suits everyday needs. Unlike entry-level commuter motorcycles that are mostly used by men, Honda Activa is preferred by a wide range of users regardless of their gender or age.
      There are various other factors that have made Activa a bestseller. For example, Activa generally has low maintenance and replacement parts are easily available. The scooter has strong build quality, ensuring a hassle-free experience for years. With regular servicing, Honda Activa delivers reliable performance without any issues. Honda’s large dealer network and reliable after-sales services have also contributed to Activa’s popularity.
      Honda Activa Features
      Honda has also introduced updates for Activa at regular intervals, in line with industry trends and evolving consumer expectations. Some of the key updates introduced over the years include the combi-brake system, Honda Eco Technology (HET), LED headlamp, digital console, fuel injection (PGM-Fi), eSP, Bluetooth connectivity, smart key with H-Smart technology, TFT screen, USB Type-C charging port and Honda Road Sync connectivity suite.
      Electric Activa holds potential
      With the EV segment registering strong growth, Honda had introduced the Activa electric earlier this year in January. Activa e: is backed by the advanced e-Swap technology, which eliminates the wait time for battery recharge. Users can swap the discharged battery with a fully charged battery in under a minute.
      e-Swap technology also reduces the upfront cost of the electric scooter. Activa electric is currently available at select locations such as Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka and Maharashtra. As more states are covered, Activa electric sales could witness strong growth. Honda Activa e: has two 1.55 kWh lithium-ion battery packs with IP65 rating.
      Honda Activa e
      Power is supplied to a 6 kW (8.16 PS) electric motor. The scooter has a range of 102 km and top speed of 80 km/h. 0 to 60 km/h is achievable in 7.3 seconds. In comparison, the petrol-powered Activa 110 has a 109.51 cc engine. It generates 8 PS and 9.05 Nm of torque. Activa 125 gets power from a 123.92 cc engine that generates 8.4 PS and 10.5 Nm of torque. More

      Honda EV Outlier Concept Unveiled – Shows Future Bike Designs

      by

      Honda EV Outlier Concept Unveiled (Right)At the ongoing Japan Mobility Show 2025, Honda Motor Co showcased a multitude of concepts and prototypes for vehicles designed to go on land, sea, skies and even outer space (we kid you not). While the 0 Alpha Concept and Super-One Prototype are pretty interesting, Honda’s EV Outlier Concept stands out for all the good reasons. Let’s take a closer look.
      Honda EV Outlier Concept
      If you are wondering what Honda EV Outlier Concept is, it is a preview of Honda’s design direction for motorcycles beyond 2030 calendar year. EV Outlier Concept umbrella is Honda’s take on a futuristic electric motorcycle and it might spawn a production-spec version as soon as 2030. It looks like it came right out of a Cyberpunk world.
      EV Outlier Concept Unveiled, EV Urban Concept Showcased
      EV Outlier Concept seems to be a continuation of two other electric mobility concepts showcased by Honda at 2024 EICMA Show last year. These are called EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept, where the former is an electric street fighter and latter is an electric scooter. EV Urban Concept was showcased alongside EV Outlier Concept as well.
      As the name suggests, EV Outlier Concept, is much more, well, outlandish than the two concepts showcased last year. It is a long motorcycle with an outlandishly long wheelbase. It features a futuristic mainframe which looks like a monocoque perimeter. Interestingly, it features a single-seat that gets back and lateral supports as well.
      EV Outlier Concept Unveiled
      Behind this seat is a giant LED tail light signature. At the front, we have a transparent body panel that covers headlight and front forks for maximum aerodynamics. There seems to be rear view cameras on this concept that are projecting feed on a giant horizontal instrument cluster.
      In-Wheel Motors for Design Freedom
      With EV Outlier Concept, Honda has crammed two electric motors. However, they are both integrated into the massive wheels. One motor on one wheel for dual-motor AWD setup. Because motors are integrated into its wheels, Honda has liberated a lot of space under the frame to incorporate as much battery as they physically can along with sophisticated components.
      EV Outlier Concept Unveiled, EV Urban Concept Showcased
      We have massive single disc brake setup at both ends. Because this is not a conventional mainframe, footpegs stem out of the main spine on top, which is very unusual. Front gets telescopic forks, while rear seems to be a mono-shock.
