                  A good choice in segment Activa E
                  Honda is known brand and trusted as well. Previous I was using honda activa petrol and my experience was very good with that as well. And now I am very happy with activa so far it is a very good ride experience. So far I am enjoying the ride and it is very smooth. Honda is known for quality and it prove it in all aspects. I loved riding it and giving very good mileage as well. Ride quality is also very good. I liked it. My reason to buy this scooter is quality and mileage. It is one of best in its segment. If you want a smooth ride and good mileage go for activa ev. Also you save lots of buks shelling in petrol so it is good choice.

                  Smart Move from Petrol to Electric
                  I chose Activa E because my old petrol scooter was getting costly. Every month I spent lot on fuel. I wanted something smart and simple. When I saw Honda Activa E I liked the look and comfort. So I booked it without much thinking. The ride is clean and peaceful. No petrol smell, no noise. It feels like riding a cycle with power. I charge it once every two days. Even my dad liked it and now uses it sometimes. It is very smooth and easy. Yes I tell everyone to go for the electric now. Activa E is from a trusted brand and feels safe. No gear, no clutch. Just ride and enjoy. It is simple and useful for all ages. Very happy with my decision.

                  Low Maintenance Made Easy Choice
                  I wanted scooter that needs less maintenance. My friend suggested Activa E. He said it is new and electric so no engine oil or petrol needed. I checked it and liked it immediately. Honda’s brand name made the choice easier. Very easy to ride. Smooth on every road. Once I dropped it by mistake but nothing broke. It has a strong body. I use it to go to work and for groceries. It gives good range and charges fast. No sound, no heat. Yes 100%. Best choice if you want to stop spending on fuel. It is light, safe and feels strong too. I have already told my relatives to try it. Honda has done a great job with this one. Very good for daily users.

                  Eco Dream Ride Finally Real
                  I always wanted to ride something eco friendly. I saw people buying electric scooters but I waited for Honda because I knew they had make something good. When Activa E launched I went for test ride and booked it the same day. The ride is soft and light. My mother also rides it sometimes and says it is very comfortable. Once we went 40 km in one day and came back with charge still left. It does not make any sound and that feels nice. Very calm ride. Yes go for it. If you care about the environment and want to save fuel cost this scooter is best. It looks modern and feels just like the old Activa but electric. I love riding it daily and feel proud I made the switch.

                  Waited for Honda’s Electric Model
                  I saw petrol prices going up every month and decided to buy electric scooter. I waited for Honda to launch their model because I trust them more. When Activa E came out I went to the showroom and booked it. I liked the comfort and look. The best thing is how easy it is to ride. My younger brother also rides it and finds it easy. It starts fast no delay. I charge it overnight and it is ready next morning. Once I forgot to charge but eco mode helped save battery. Yes I fully recommend it. Perfect for local travel, smooth roads and daily use. It is quiet, light and does not pollute. And it saves a lot of money. No petrol, no oil change. Just clean and ride. I feel smart using it.

                  I think it's best in this price as it is offering a very good mileage and all accessories in just 20000 that is more than enough for us and it is very useful for short distance travelling I truly recommended it for those who want to buy a electric scooter which offers a good mileage and that's all that I have to say

                  Review of a 3 year experience
                  I bought it and used to drive upto 90km daily , in my opinion the rider would feel discomfort for longer range and the back passenger feels a very good knockback while accelerating , foot rest isn't good so the backseater would feel his legs going numb or may have cramps , pick-up of the sccoty is good and the speed too , i would recommend this for shorter range not because of mileage but due it's comfort , the seat isn't properly designed for comfort which gives back pain , another con of this vehicle is it's build quality , the break levers won't survive any shock they break easily , my suspensions also got damaged and started to leak but all this problem occurs if you overuse it , using it daily for 30-40km with proper servicing won't give negative response from the scooty. Battery backup isn't reduced or if it is I don't notice it , I use for 90km daily and battery backup is good though it won't run 90km on a single charge.

                  Worst Scooter
                  Worst scooter in the electric version. It is not performing well, the mileage is very bad, and its parts, including the brake wire, broke within a month.
