Benefits of Switching to an Electric Scooter
Advancements in technology have shaped the world of motorcycles as we know it. As society has become more switched on to sustainability, the benefits of electric motorcycles have become a hot topic.
From environmentally friendly features to sleek designs, electric bikes today are delivering greater power, efficiency and style. The electric motorcycle market is set for a compound annual growth rate of 3.5% between 2024 and 2032, highlighting its rising popularity.
The future of electric motorcycles and scooters is here, and we’re leading the charge. Whether you’re considering getting your first bike or looking for a sustainable upgrade, our electric guide can steer you in the right direction.
Are electric products better for the environment?
Motorcycles have long been recognised as a more sustainable means of transport. But with the development of electric motorcycle technology, owners can also expect lower operating costs, reduced maintenance and savings on fuel.
Zero emissions, zero hassle. Electric motorcycles and scooters have no tailpipe emissions compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) products. Traditional petrol-powered bikes emit carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and other pollutants. Going electric promotes cleaner air and healthier urban environments, helping to reduce air pollution.
Electric bikes consume fewer fossil fuels and generate a smaller carbon footprint over their lifetime. Since they run on electricity, they don’t produce any harmful emissions, even when you consider the energy used in battery production. By choosing an electric motorcycle or scooter, you are contributing to the reduction of global carbon emissions.
At Honda, our goal is to achieve a zero environmental footprint through innovation and design. We produce eco-friendly scooters to empower riders while cutting out CO2 emissions.
We’re continuously pushing the boundaries of fuel-efficient mobility, so future generations can benefit from cleaner transportation. Whether you’re a fun rider or a daily commuter, our sustainable electric motorcycles can empower your ride.
Are electric products more expensive?
The initial costs of an electric motorcycle or scooter might be higher, but the running costs are cheaper in the long run. Not only are they economically sound, but they bring fun, efficiency and freedom to your riding experience.

Saving on fuel costs
Thanks to their zero tailpipe emissions, electric motorcycles and scooters can be cheaper to run over time compared to petrol-powered bikes. Riders could save significantly on fuel, especially for daily commuting or city rides, as charging costs may prove lower than refuelling with petrol and require fewer stops. Just remember that rising energy prices might have an impact on charging costs.

Reduced maintenance expenses
Electric products benefit from fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion engines. That means fewer components can wear out or break, reducing long-term maintenance costs. They also don’t require oil changes, filter replacements or engine tune-ups. So, you can reduce maintenance costs and enjoy peace of mind.

Honda’s electric models offer long-term value
Honda is always a rev ahead. We’re committed to providing great value through long-term savings on both fuel and maintenance. The result? A high-quality, reliable two-wheeler that can stand the test of time.
Our electric products, such as the EM1 e: scooter and CUV e:, are designed for maximum efficiency and durability. With Honda at the throttle, switching to electric can be a smart investment.
Do electric motorcycles have the latest technology?
The performance benefits of electric bikes come down to their game-changing technology. Electric motorcycles and scooters are constantly evolving, and as more models come to market, they will continue to put power and performance to the test.
Instant torque and smooth acceleration
Electric provides instant torque, so you get more power at lower speeds. This rapid and smooth acceleration can charge your journey, whether you’re zipping through urban landscapes or tackling steep inclines.
Honda’s technological innovations
At Honda, we’re always looking ahead. We’re constantly developing our electric products for a cleaner, greener future. With cutting-edge designs and technological innovations in our electric bikes, we’re focused on delivering a superior riding experience.
How far can electric scooters travel on a single charge?
Electric scooters are designed to go the distance. Honda’s products use a Mobile Power Pack (MPP) battery and charger, this allows you to remove the battery and charge it at home or your place of work for added convenience. The EM1 e: can run for 41km on full charge whilst the CUV e: has a range of over 70km.
Advances in battery technology*
Battery technology is continuously developing, helping to extend the range of electric motorcycles and scooters. The expansion of charging stations is also making long-distance riding more accessible to all. To support a carbon neutral future, Honda looks towards a circular society offering combined solutions. The full cycle approach of the Honda Mobile Power Pack e: will be considered, from production to ownership and end of life recycling, for a sustainable battery ownership. Our MPP battery takes less than three hours to go from 0 to 75% for each battery, making it the perfect solution to support you in daily life.
Honda’s range capabilities
We have range and efficiency at our core. Our electric models are easy to ride and simple to charge. They’re designed to provide a reliable and impressive range for everyday riders. That means you’ll get all the benefits of a traditional motorbike with the added ease of zero maintenance.
Honda motorcycles enhance urban life
In bustling urban environments, Honda’s electric scooters provide a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient mode of transport. Designed to complement modern city living, our scooters not only reduce noise pollution but also offer a smooth, powerful ride tailored to urban commuting. City riders can experience a peaceful, stress-free journey without sacrificing performance or style.
So, what are you waiting for? Discover everything there is to know about the CUV e: and EM1 e: .
