Engine & Performance

The e-scooter has two swappable batteries of 1.5kWh, with a 102 km range, known as the Honda Mobile Power Pack e. These batteries were developed by Honda Power Pack Energy India. Additionally, the company claims that they've already set up battery-swapping stations in Bengaluru and Delhi. Apart from these cities, the work is also being processed in Mumbai. 
 

These batteries have the ability to power a 6kW permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that can produce a torque of 22Nm. The Activa e has three riding modes: Econ, Standard, and Sport, and it accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h in 7.3 seconds.
 

Innovative Features

Riders who are tech-savvy will like its seven-inch TFT screen and connectivity features via the Honda RoadSync Duo app. Furthermore, the Toggle switch controls, navigation, and day/night modes enhance the experience. Honda's H-Smart key's Smart Find, Safe, Unlock and Start functions improve convenience.
 

Brakes and Colour Options

In addition, the Activa e has dual rear springs, telescopic forks at the front, and a disc-drum braking system. Similar to the QC1, it will come in five eye-catching colours: Pearl Igneous Black, Pearl Misty White, Pearl Shallow Blue, Pearl Serenity Blue, and Matt Foggy Silver Metallic.
 

Launch Details and Availability

Honda will disclose the QC1 and Activa-e prices in January 2025 and start deliveries in February. Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru will be the first places where the Activa e will be available. However, Honda intends to add more cities in later stages.

Bajaj Tackles CNG Tank Safety Issues in Freedom 125 CNG Bike
July 6, 2024

Bajaj has launched the Freedom 125 in India at a starting price of Rs 95,000. It is the world's first CNG bike, and many customers might worry about the safety of having a CNG tank on a bike. Every year, many CNG cars fail, and bikes are more exposed than cars. Bajaj assures that the bike has been thoroughly tested for safety. The manufacturer says the bike has passed 11 different crash and impact tests at their test facility.How Bajaj Tested the New Freedom 125 CNG Bike Bajaj tested the bike from different angles. In the Front Collision Test, the Freedom 125 CNG bike crashed into a 1.5-ton moving barrier at a speed of 60kmph. Moreover, the company also did a Truck Runover Test, where a 10-ton truck was driven over the CNG bike. This test simulates a situation where the rider falls off and the bike gets run over by a truck. In both the Front Collision Test and the Truck Runover Test, the bike handled the impacts well. The CNG tank stayed in place, kept its shape, and did not leak.Bajaj also performed nine other tests: a Frontal Pendulum Test, a Rear Impact Test, a Left Side Impact Test, a Right Side Impact Test, a Vertical Drop Test, a 50kg Filling Unit Strength Test, two types of CNG Valve Impact Tests (to see if the valve breaks on impact), and a 20G Pull Out Test. Impact tests involved hitting the bike with a moving barrier, while drop tests involved dropping the bike from a height.What is Bajaj Providing in Freedom 125 CNG Bike?Bajaj designed the trellis frame and subframe to keep the CNG cylinder safe. These frames act like cages to protect the cylinder from damage in a crash. The engine is also placed away from the CNG cylinder, so the heat from the engine doesn’t affect the CNG tank. This is important because the CNG tank holds pressurized gas, which can expand when it gets hot.When filling the CNG tank, you need to get off the bike and stand at least 5 feet away. This safety measure at CNG fuel stations helps prevent accidents in case the CNG cylinder explodes.Before you go, don’t forget to check out the June 2024 FADA two-wheeler sales report. Follow us for the Latest Bike Industry UpdatesFacebook - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_offl_fb                 Instagram -  https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_insta                 Twitter - https://bit.ly/BikeJunction_ofl_twitter
