New Delhi: Honda Activa scooters have been a popular choice on the country’s roads. People from rural to urban areas are enthusiastic about purchasing them. They are also considered a brand. But did you know that the Honda Activa electric scooter has ceased production? This may seem surprising, but it’s 100% true.
The company has taken a major decision and discontinued the Honda Activa, launched six months ago. Honda showrooms are not receiving even new Activa electric units, which are being discussed. The petrol version remains in full supply. Some reports have indicated the electric version’s discontinuation, which is being considered a setback for customers.

Honda launched the Activa electric scooter in February with the aim of competing with electric versions from Bajaj and Ola. According to industry reports, six months after its launch, this model is now out of production. This means it failed to meet expectations, let alone receive a favourable response.
Due to this reason, the company completely discontinued the production of the Activa Electric to save costs. The petrol variant of the Honda Activa scooter was quite popular, but the electric variant was not. This variant completely dashed Honda’s hopes. The lack of new variants arriving in showrooms is being considered a production shutdown. This is also being seen as a setback for the company.
