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.Read More
