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.

Because it fulfilled my needs. I made a ride 164 km that is the widest rage I ran this bike and if you ask the experience is quite good and decent. In shorts I love this bike speed because even in high air flow area this bike stands with smooth bike. I am recommending this bike because this bike easy to handle and performs really good and also gives a smooth experience. For a rider this is necessary that bike should give a smooth texture and no pain while riding. And this comes under all my expertise. So that's it.

Not too exciting bit no complains
It was easy and good so far I am satisfied sometimes I am just worried if something gets wrong while i am riding in between cities what will happen as ultraviolet service centers are not every where and no one touches electric bikes and will ultraviolet provide on road assistance. Apart from that so far I have had no complaints.

Value and specifications
Superb bike with a great value brings top speed of 120km/h with it. Worth to buy. It is a good choice in mountain bikes but the thing is charging in remote areas. But according to price and specifications it fits its standards. Most of the rally bikes are expensive and have less mileage. I am gonna buy this!
