A Honda has introduced the “EM1 e:”, an electric scooter aimed at urban mobility, designed to transform commuting in the Philippines.
This model marks Honda’s first fully electric offering in the country, tailored to meet a price-sensitive market.
Although it has a range of 48 kilometers on a single charge, the “EM1 e:” stands out for its ability to allow quick battery swapping, eliminating range anxiety, which is a significant advantage for users.
Equipped with a 1.7 kW motor, the “EM1 e:” offers performance equivalent to a 50cc scooter, with a power output of 2.3 horsepower and a torque of 90 Nm. This makes it suitable for urban transport, providing a comfortable and efficient ride.
The scooter also comes with a charger compatible with household outlets, allowing for a full charge in up to six hours.
With a price of approximately $2,785, the “EM1 e:” is positioned in the same range as popular gasoline scooters, such as the Yamaha NMAX and the Honda PCX. Honda’s success in the market will depend on consumer acceptance and the potential implementation of battery swap stations in the future.
