It’s expected that in June 2025 Honda will launch its U-Go electric scooter in India, although preparations have already been initiated and the company is awaiting.
Design and Features
It is for metropolitan traffic that it has a compact and slim aluminum structure without being excessively futuristic. It is expected to provide the driving distance of up to 130 km per charge, which means daily use. The scooter is expected to reach the speed range of 25-45 km/h, which will allow commuting within urban districts. We expect the charging time will take around 2 hours so that users can get a quick turnaround from the device.
Pricing and Availability
Honda has released a new electric scooter called the Honda U-Go which should set for a price of around ₹87,000 thus targeting the growing electric scooter market in India. The first launch is planned for June 2025, the main emphasis is on big cities, then, depending on the results, the service will gradually expand to other areas.
Market Impact
The U-Go from Honda can be considered as the company’s first step to be involved in Indian electric scooter market as the company recognizes the value of environmentally friendly transportation solutions. The U-Go will be more or less aimed at models such as the Ola S1 X, Hero Electric Optima, and Okinawa PraisePro and therefore is likely to provide more choices for consumers in the electric two-wheeler market.
The recently announced new product release of the Honda U-Go electric scooter indicates a new dawn for electric mobility in India. We believe that with its features and price range, the U-Go is expected to appeal to the urban workers who are in desperate search for efficient and environmentally friendly transport means.
