Honda QC1 Electric Scooter Unveiled - 80km Range, 50km/h Top Speed
Japanese two-wheeler giant Honda has unveiled the QC1 electric scooter in India. Prices for the Honda QC1 will be revealed when bookings for the electric scooter start in January 2025.
The Honda QC1 was unveiled alongside the all-new Activa e but unlike its electric sibling features a fixed battery pack that cannot be swapped out. The battery pack of the Honda QC1 is 1.5kWh unit that delivers a claimed range of 80km.
The QC1's battery pack can be charged using an off-board 330W home charger that comes with an auto-cut technology and can charge up the QC1 from 0 to 80% in 4 hours 30 minutes. A full charge for the new Honda QC1 takes 6 hours and 50 minutes.
The QC1's battery pack is connected to a hub motor that pushes out 2.4bhp and 77Nm of peak torque. The Honda QC1 is offered with two riding modes - Econ and Standard and has a top speed of 50km/h.
The Honda QC1's design is quite similar to the new Ativa e. At the front, it features a low-mounted sleek LED headlight with clear indicators along with 12-inch alloy wheels and an LED taillight. The Honda QC1 sports a 5.0-inch LCD screen that relays all the information a rider will need along with a USB-C charger and 26 litres of underseat storage.
Speaking at the unveiling of the new Activa e and QC1, Yogesh Mathur, Director, Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, "We are ecstatic to mark our entry into the Indian EV market with not just one but two all-new electric vehicles, marking a significant milestone in our journey towards achieving sustainability by providing cleaner mobility solutions.
