                  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.

                  Honda SP 160 – Honest Review after 27000 kms
                  Well i wanted a bike for commuting which offer a reliable engine with little sporty looks and good mileage, which can offer a smooth suspensions on highways and city. The bike offers a good value of the price in segment Travelled around 27000 km in 2 .5 years the suspension seems to be good until now but the bike surely feels under power for the 160 segment, handling is good. Even as a commuter bike it still performed very well on off-road and gave a smooth ride across my long tours with pillion. But as I got the first slot of bike it seems after some time some parts of bike have been changed and a throttle seems little on harder side . So overall being commuter bike it performs fantansic but just being under power for sure If ur purpose is just to go and fro from office it's an wonderful bike , but as 160 cc is having multiple options, if ur looking for more power u must avoid it , and if ur looking for reliable engine with low cost maintenance surely go for it

                  Bike comfort is good .
                  160 unicorn reliable same engine with fuel pump upgrade.. I don't need to look another bike I have drove 85k my last bike unicorn 160... Now I upgraded to sp160.. it's a powerful then previous model looks are good... I think distance between handle and rider is a little far for this segment... when I'm starting mostly taking while to get ready after a break. Last speedo meter has been updated.. i like the bike.. mileage is cool Engine it's a good, comfort is good.. Head light is v poor i suggest honda should give 160 a halogen or powerful headlight it's a request... I love riding this bike both on highway and city as well...

                  Honda sp160 after 30k+ KM
                  I choose sp160 because little sport look with more comfortable for family rides and within a budget. And I wanted more reliable Engine. I thought this comfortable and fit in the budget. And also in the consideration of mileage. Till now it was a good bike and more comfortable. But the service from the honda is not up to the mark. Just wasting the money on service center. Apart from service bike provides reasonable power and smooth riding. If you're considering a bike for family and also for a little long rides it is good option. For the engine and power with 160 cc it's a good option. No need to worry much about the comfortable this provides a smooth ride.
