Honda, the Japanese automotive giant is widely popular in the two-wheeler segment in India. Not just bikes, Honda has been dominating the automatic scooter segment as well in the country. And with the e-scooter demands spiking up, Honda is now all set to mark its presence across the EV segment with the launch of the Benly e-electric scooter. The Honda Benly e-electric scooter’s test mule already made its sighting a year back sometime in June. Now, a fresh sighting of the Benly e-test model has surfaced.
Honda Benly E-Electric Scooter New Test Mule Spotted Again
The latest Hona Benly e-electric scooter’s latest test model has been spotted by Zigwheels. The test model has made its sighting near the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India), Bengaluru. The first Honda Benly e-electric scooter fresh test module sighting hints at its imminent launch. But unlike the previous test mule, this one was spotted in its full glory without any camouflage wrapping. In fact, the Benly e-electric scooter’s latest test model is spotted with a dealership number plate.
More Than A Conventional E-Scooter Design
The Honda Benly e electric scooter isn’t any regular-looking e-scooter. It rather brings a utility-oriented design contrary to what the popular Ola S1 and Ather 450X offer. With the big parcel carrier tucked right above the headlight and a large flat luggage mount, the Honda Benly e-scooter is apparently designed for delivery and cargo riders.
The first Honda e-scooter will offer a compact yet cushioned rider seat for comfortable rides, while the footboard is also designed for better holding capacity with luggage. Upfront, the headlight will be round which along with the round digital instrument cluster and rearview mirrors gives it a retro yet modern look.
