Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Honda Activa e

- A claimed 102km of riding range will be good enough for over three days of daily commuting
- Gets a large 7.0-inch TFT which supports turn-by-turn navigation
- Swappable battery technology means that riders wont have to worry about waiting around for hours to charge their scooter while on the go
Ola S1 Air
- Exciting performance
- Feature-packed
- Flat floorboard makes it very practical

Honda Activa e
- Misses out on under seat storage because the swappable batteries are stored there
- Only available in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru in the first phase of sales
- Base variant does not get connectivity features via the Honda RoadSync Duo phone application
Ola S1 Air
- Throttle feels quite jerky
- Build quality is not great

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.

Happy Journey
Scooter is in great condition. In 2 years no problems faced. In a single charge its mileage is between 90-100kms. No motor or battery or any other issues faced in 2 years of ride. Pickup is top notch. Latest software is recently updated to 5.0.1 Charger is working perfectly fine. Only 13,000kms driven so battery is almost like new.

Nice performance
Nice but not giving the range as promised. Styling is good but the overall performance is not as expected. In Normal mode it's only giving 90 km of range which is mentioned as 125 km in the specs. Overall satisfied with the company service but sometimes the ui or os starts to lag which may fall you in a dangerous situation.
