Honda Dax, Cub, and Zoomer e-Scooter Models Announced in China

Honda has released three new electric scooters in China. The three models are the electric version of the Dax, Cub, and Zoomer motorbikes. They join a growing collection of sustainability-focused EVs being released by Honda. Honda says the new models target the youthful population.

Honda continues to expand its EV portfolio both in terms of two-wheelers and four-wheelers. The Japanese auto giant has been in the two-wheeler industry for decades but is gradually embracing electric technology. It plans to release ten new electric motorbikes by 2025 although that’s a huge plan. The company has based its new e-scooter lineup on previous gas-powered motorbikes. The pedal-assisted versions of the Honda Dax, Cub, and Zoomer are now in the Chinese market.

The models bear the moniker of their gas-powered siblings. The three electric bikes are the Club e, Dax e, and Zoomer e. The three models have been highly successful small displacement scooters. The three new e-bikes have attractive and unique designs. They also bear some semblance to the S07 and the Muji x Honda e-bike.

The classification category of the new Honda e-bikes in China is Electric Bicycles (EB). Thus, their speeds will be limited to 25km/h. Honda says the new electric bikes will appeal to the needs of Generation Z with their features and design.

The prices of the models, although yet to be released, are expected to be competitive. Their EB categorization also means that the bikes will not need a license for their operation. Since there are restrictions on the age of obtaining a driver’s license, younger riders could use the bike.

There are few technical details known about the three new Honda e-scooters. There are no pricing and global availability details as well.
