Scooters are popularly used as a mode of transportation because they are easy to use, fuel-efficient, and navigate heavy traffic. They are especially liked by urban families due to their affordability. Check out the list of upcoming scooters below:
Hero MotoCorp revealed the facelift version of the Destini 125 in India back in September 2024. Its market launch is believed to happen soon during the Bharat Mobility Expo. But it's not announced yet. According to sources, it's to be priced at a level of between Rs 80,000 and Rs 85,000, ex-showroom.
The new Destini 125 may possess a 124.6cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 9bhp and 10.4Nm of torque. Additionally, the scooter gets better handling due to the updated chassis. Three variants, VX, ZX, and ZX+, plus seven colour options, are available with the updated model. On top of that, it gets a projector LED headlight, LED taillight, H-shaped LED DRLs, a metal front fender, and moved turn indicators.
Honda Motorcycles & Scooters India will unveil the price of the electric Activa this year. The reservation began on January 1, and you can reserve this scooter for a mere amount of Rs 1000.
The electric Activa will come with a direct-drive PMSM motor, which produces a peak torque of up to 22 Nm and 8 bhp. It features two 1.5kWh battery packs that have a 3kWh overall capacity. Moreover, it can go from 0 to 60 kmph in 7.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 80 kmph in this configuration. More importantly, it can go up to 102 km per charge. The price of the electric Activa is estimated to be around Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom).
The electric Activa looks more modern and minimalistic compared to the normal ICE variant. Turn indicators and an LED DRL are positioned on either side of the centre LED headlight of the apron.
The other popular Honda electric scooters include the QC1, which is designed with a fixed battery and is more for close riding use. It carries an in-wheel electric motor with a maximum torque of 77 Nm and a maximum power of 2.4 BHP, with a 1.5kWh battery that goes 80 km on one charge. Two modes are also given to the rider: Standard and Econ.
The design of the electric Activa is influential on a few aspects of the QC1. There is a broad, curved seat and all-LED lighting. The scooter also comprises an all-flat floorboard and a fully digital display. It doesn't come with an LED Daytime Running Light, and the front aspect is not as elaborate as the Activa. The QC1 would be expected to start at Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hero MotoCorp unveiled the Hero Xoom 125R at EICMA 2023, and the scooter will be available in the market this year. The new 125cc scooter has been spotted on many test drives lately. It has an aggressive LED headlight similar to the Hero Xtreme 125R.
For comfort, it has a large pillion footrest, a split grab rail, and a sleek tail design with a split LED light setup. The Xoom 125R will also get a single-cylinder, 124.6cc air-cooled engine like the upgraded Destini 125. Hero MotoCorp might tweak this for the more performance-oriented Xoom, but this has not been confirmed yet.
Regarding the features, Xoom 125R will sport LED indicators, Bluetooth connectivity, and a completely digital instrument cluster. The estimated price range might be between Rs 80,000 and Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom).
Hero's first maxi-scooter, the Xoom 160, has a big windscreen, small beak, and split LED headlights. All of these enhance its ADV-inspired appearance. Moreover, it appears broad and long from the side profile because of its long wheelbase and the central spine.
Numerous advancements will be included in this scooter, such as LED lights, keyless starting, and smart seat opening. Additionally, it features a "smart find" option as well. This uses a button on the key fob to assist in finding the scooter in a parking lot.
A 156cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine will power the Xoom 160. It can generate 13.7 Nm at 6,500 rpm and 14 bhp at 8,000 rpm. Additionally, a silent starter and a brands unique i3s stop-start technology are included. It is anticipated to retail for at Rs 1.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
