However, they still have the choice to convert their existing Activa to an electric version. Yes, there are many kits available in the market. Let's look at a neat conversion done in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh.

Honda Activa from petrol to electricity

A modder from Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, leading Diy Tech YouTube channel in Telugu, has neatly converted a stock ICE Activa into an electric scooter. All modifications seem perfectly combined with each other and look solid perfection. Except for a few green and E-vehicle stickers, it becomes difficult for people to notice the conversion.

The modder, working on an old Honda Activa, replaced the engine with an electric motor and battery. The propulsion and power received from the hub motor mounted on the rear wheel. According to the modder, this motor, rated for 1 kW of continuous power and 2 to 2.5 kW of peak power. While the capacity of the battery is 2.88 kWh. In addition, the battery can work at 72V and 40A units with prismatic cells.

The modder promises a range of more than 120 km on a single charge. While the maximum speed, limited to 55 km/h. The modder explains that an intelligent BMS (battery management system) is given on the instrumental console along with a full sine wave intelligent motor controller. The latter contributes to the operation of the engine without vibrations. "Smart" in intelligent BMS allows you to connect with a smartphone to display various vehicle information. The motor controller has three speeds that can be switched using a special switch. A park mode switch also cuts power to the engine when turned on. Indications or notifications for both are displayed on the fully digital instrument cluster.
