Comfort and Ergonomics

The riding position is kept such that neither there is pressure on the back nor one feels tired after riding for a long time.

Apart from this, the flat footboard makes it more practical. You can easily keep your bags or small luggage here.

Apart from this, Honda Smart Connect technology makes it even more advanced. You can connect your smartphone to the scooter and take advantage of features like GPS tracking, remote lock/unlock, battery status.

It also has a regenerative braking system, which helps to charge the battery when braking. This increases the battery life and also improves the range.
