At the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, Auto makers have showcased multiple electric vehicles including two-wheelers & four-wheelers. While Suzuki showcased the Burgman electric scooter, Honda revealed the SCe electric scooter concept at the Japan Mobility Show.
Honda reveals that the SCe electric scooter concept is equipped with two swappable batteries or in Honda language, a “Mobile Power Pack”. Located under the seat, the Honda SCe electric scooter’s batteries will give good speed and range. However, details about the scooter’s range and powertrain details are yet to be revealed.
The overall design appears very conventional; however, it gets some modern features including the full-width LED daytime running lamps. The scooter comes with contrasting blue highlights, which refers to electric. The blue treatment can be seen on the front lighting panel, handlebar and rear tail section.
The pictures of the new Honda SCe electric scooter concept reveal that it features a flat board and a large seat to accommodate a rider and a pillion. This suggests that the new electric scooter will be used for an urban commute. It was speculated to be offered with a hub mounted electric motor; that’s not the case here. The electric motor is placed on a rear wheel, which draws power from the battery.
The Honda SCe electric scooter concept comes with a single hydraulic brake in the front wheel, while the rear wheel is stopped by a drum brake. The electric scooter is likely to be equipped with an LCD screen, which is likely to feature the Bluetooth connectivity. For suspension duties, the electric scooter gets telescopic front forks and a single shock absorber in the rear.
