Electric scooters are swiftly growing the rage and go-to option for cost-effective individual mobility in global markets. And Honda has bounced right onto the bandwagon with the U-Go; its most affordable electric scooter. The Honda U-Go has been launched in China under the company’s Chinese subsidiary- Wuyang Honda for CNY 7499. The electric scooter is offered in two versions. The top-spec version is powered by a 1.2kW motor with a max output of 1.8kW and claimed top speed of 53kmph. Whereas the standard U-Go comes with a 0.8kW motor and a top speed of 45kmph.
Anyway, both versions of the Honda U-Go use 1.44kWh lithium-ion battery pack that offers a 65km range. However, with the second, optional battery, the range can be extended to 130km. In comparison, the recently launched Ola S1 offers a range of 121km on the standard version and 181km on the Pro model. Now for features, Honda has equipped the electric scooter with useable features like full-LED lighting, an LCD instrument cluster that displays relatively basic information like range, battery status, riding mode, and speed. It also gets a USB charging port and an anti-theft alarm.
While there is no word about Honda launching the U-Go in India, considering the sudden growth in demand for electric scooters in our country, the U-Go would be an interesting proposition. If launched, it would go up against the Bajaj Chetak, Ather 450X, and the Ola S1 here.
