Honda Activa e Launch, QC1 Launch

The company launched two electric scooters in India at the ongoing 2025 Auto Expo in Delhi NCR. More affordable QC1 electric scooter starts from Rs 90,000 (Ex-sh), while the more premium Activa e starts from Rs 1.17 lakh (Ex-sh).

There’s also a higher-spec Activa e RoadSync Duo variant that is priced at Rs 1.52 lakh (Ex-sh).

Honda Activa e is powered by two removable battery packs – 1.5 kWh each, for a total capacity of 3 kWh. Combined claimed range of Activa e is 102 km, and the battery-swapping system is its main highlight. There’s a swingarm-mounted electric motor that is rated at 6kW of peak power (8 bhp).
