Honda Two-wheeler India has filed a design patent for the Honda Beat petrol-powered scooter. The Honda Beat is already available in Southeast Asian markets like Thailand and Indonesia. It is powered by the same 110cc engine as the Honda Activa 6G.
The Honda Beat is a step-through scooter with a sporty design. It comes with an apron-mounted headlight, has sharp and sculpted body lines and large alloy wheels. The scooter gets a single-piece seat, a chunky single-piece grab rail and a sleek tail section. The slim and long exhaust is slightly upswept. The Beat comes in a range of colour options in the international markets, including red, blue, yellow, white, black and grey among others.
The Honda Beat is equipped with the tried and tested 109.5cc single-cylinder engine from the Honda Activa 6G. However, the engine makes 9PS at 7500rpm and 9.3Nm at 6,000rpm on the Beat, which is 1.2PS and 1.4Nm more than the Activa.
In terms of features, the Honda Beat gets a semi-digital instrument console. The analogue part shows the speedometer and the LCD screen has an odometer, fuel level indicator, and other basic details. It also gets a USB charging port, which is standard. It has a small 12-litre underseat storage.
The Beat comes with a telescopic fork and a monoshock. It gets a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear, with CBS (combined braking system) as standard. The scooter rides on 14-inch alloy wheels, wrapped with 80-section front and 90-section rear tubeless tyres. With a kerb weight of 90kg, it is almost 15kg lighter than the Activa 6G. At 742mm, its seat height is also slightly higher than the Activa.
Will The Honda Beat launch in India?
The Honda Beat is unlikely to be launched in India anytime soon, and the design patent has been filed mainly to protect the manufacturer’s legal rights to use the original design in India, sometime in future.
Honda Two-wheelers India has been filing a number of patents for scooters and bikes that the manufacturer sells in international markets just to protect their legal rights, and the same applies to the Honda Beat as well. Earlier, Honda India had filed patents for scooters including the Honda Stylo 160, and Honda NX125 and four big bikes including the Honda CB500 Hornet, Honda CBR500R, Honda CBR650R and Honda CB1000 Hornet.
Honda Activa User Reviews
The scooter is a reliable partner and delivers smooth, reliable performance wherever I go. I have an Activa 3G at home, and compared to that, this upgraded BS VI variant has a new OBD-2B engine setup that provides a good riding experience. Having owned scooters in multiple colours in the past, I find this copper colour eye-catching and unique as well.Read More
