When buying a two-wheeler, range or mileage often leads the list of must-know factors. For electric scooters, range is your daily freedom — how far you can ride in the city before needing a battery swap or charge. The Honda Activa e has launched in India with a range of 102 km per charge.
You may already be imagining owning one — the smooth ride, low noise, zero fuel bills. But how to make it affordable? This is where smart financial planning comes in. A two-wheeler loan from Bajaj Finance can be a helpful tool — it can ease upfront burden and help plan monthly EMIs. You can check a pre-approved loan offer to see how much you qualify for, without much hassle.
Let us explore the Honda Activa e range, real-world factors, how it compares with rivals, and how you can finance it easily.
Honda Activa e range overview
The Honda Activa e uses two swappable batteries (1.5 kWh each) giving a total effective battery capacity of 3 kWh. Its electric motor (permanent magnet synchronous) is rated up to 6 kW (maximum) and delivers a cruising range of 102 km (IDC mode) under ideal conditions.
In real riding, you might get somewhat lower range depending on riding mode, load, speed, and traffic. A Bajaj Finserv Two-wheeler Loan often covers up to 100% funding of the on-road price (subject to eligibility). This high-value loan allows you to bring home your desired scooter with ease.

Range of Honda Activa e variants
Since the Activa e is launched with two variants (Standard and RoadSync Duo), here is a comparative summary:
| Variant | Range | Ex-showroom price (Delhi) | Top speed |
| Standard | 102 km | Rs. 1,17,428 | 80 kmph |
| RoadSync Duo | 102 km | Rs. 1,52,028 | 80 kmph |
* The 102 km is the claimed IDC equivalent range.
Ex-showroom price is only part of the picture. The on-road price includes registration, insurance, state taxes, and handling charges. These can vary by city and state. Always check the on-road cost before deciding. With a Bajaj Finserv Two-wheeler Loan, you can get up to 100% funding of the on-road price of the scooter — so you may not need a large upfront cash outlay.

Honda Activa e range – City and highway
Though Activa e is mostly a city or urban commuter, here’s what to expect:
- In urban or city riding (frequent stop-start, low speeds), your effective range may fall to 70–85 km depending on load, mode, traffic, and efficiency.
- On open roads or highway stretches (higher speeds, wind drag), the range may dip further — perhaps to 60–80 km depending on conditions.
If you are evaluating financing, check your loan eligibility for the Bajaj Finserv Two-wheeler Loan before booking. Knowing how much funding you might get helps you choose a variant with sufficient buffer for your real-world usage.
Factors affecting Honda Activa e range
Several real-life factors will influence how close your ride gets to the 102 km claim:
- Riding mode — Sport mode drains battery faster.
- Load and weight — A heavier pillion or cargo reduces range.
- Speed and acceleration — Frequent hard acceleration or high speed eats more energy.
- Terrain and gradients — Uphills demand more power.
- Temperature and weather — Cold weather or strong headwinds reduce battery efficiency.
- Battery health — Over time, battery capacity will degrade slightly.
- Tyre pressure and maintenance — Underinflated tyres increase energy loss.
Understanding these helps you plan usage and manage expectations.
Tips to increase the Honda Activa e range
Here are some practical pointers:
- Ride in Eco or Standard mode when you do not need high performance.
- Avoid aggressive acceleration; ride smoothly.
- Keep tyre pressure optimised.
- Avoid overloading (avoid excess baggage or weight).
- Minimise use of electrical loads (lights, accessories) when possible.
- Use swap stations strategically rather than draining the battery fully.
- Park in shade or cooler places; heat degrades battery efficiency.
Finance your Honda Activa e with a two-wheeler loan
Buying an electric scooter like the Activa e can demand a high upfront cost. That is where a Bajaj Finserv Two-wheeler Loan becomes valuable. Here is how it helps:
- Up to 100% funding of the on-road price of the vehicle
- Simple eligibility criteria and minimal paperwork
- Flexible repayment tenure options to match your income flow
Use the two-wheeler loan EMI calculator with different tenure options to estimate your monthly outflow. Choosing the right electric scooter is half technical, half financial planning. The Honda Activa e range of 102 km (claimed) is competitive in its segment. The swappable battery architecture gives you flexibility over fixed-battery rivals. But real-world range depends on your usage, habits, and load.
On the financial side, do not let cost deter you — a Bajaj Finserv Two-wheeler Loan offers you a smooth path. Check your pre-approved offer and plan your purchase with ease.
