With the 2025 Scoopy recently showing up in Indian patent filings, Honda looks to be preparing for a new foray into the scooter market. The Scoopy is well-known for its unique retro-modern design and robust market share in Southeast Asia. Its possible arrival in India has raised questions regarding its launch schedule and positioning. Honda has not yet released an official statement, but the patent application suggests that the company intends to localise the model. If released, the Scoopy might provide a fashionable substitute in the cutthroat 110cc market. However, there are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding its features, drivetrain, and marketing approach, which will not be addressed until Honda reveals its plans for this highly anticipated scooter.
According to the newly surfaced patent image, Honda's next scooter for India will heavily incorporate elements of the most recent Scoopy, which is sold abroad and has a nostalgic yet contemporary look.

The most noticeable styling cue is a sculpted LED headlamp that is integrated into the apron and has a round DRL around it for a retro-futuristic look. The D-shaped LED indicators, vertically mounted on either side, give the front end a distinctive signature appearance. Other design highlights include a long, single-piece seat, a curved tail section, a flat deck, and a grab rail.
On the mechanical front, the Scoopy is propelled by a 109.5cc, eSP, SOHC, air-cooled engine. This unit produces 9bhp of maximum power and 9.2Nm of peak torque. For transmission, it is mated to a CVT automatic.
Hardware-wise, the global-spec 2025 Scoopy has an underbone frame, 12-inch wheels, and tubeless tyres that are 100/90 up front and 110/90 down back. For better balance and safety, the suspension hardware consists of a rear swingarm and telescopic forks at the front. Drums on both wheels handle braking, with the help of a combined braking system (CBS).

Coming to features, expect the scooter to boast an anti-theft alarm, SMS and call alerts, and an LCD cluster displaying turn-by-turn navigation, battery, and more essential information. Notably, the model sold internationally comes with the brand's Smart Key System.
It is anticipated that Honda will target a higher market tier than the Activa if it chooses to launch the Scoopy in India, possibly attracting buyers who are concerned about features and style.
