Bharat Mobility Expo - Honda Benly e: Electric Scooter Unveiled with Battery Swapping Technology

Honda 2 Wheeler India has unveiled its first electric two-wheeler in the Indian market, showing off the Benly e electric scooter at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2024. The Honda Benly e electric scooter, which has been seen testing in Bengaluru, is in line with the worldwide trend towards eco-friendly technologies in response to the worsening energy crisis. Electric vehicles are quickly becoming the norm in the automobile business, making internal combustion engines look outdated.

The scooter is available in four different versions in international markets: Benly e I, Benly e I Pro, Benly e II, and Benly e II Pro. Specifically, the scooter is equipped with Honda's modern Mobile Power Pack interchangeable batteries, a technology that is now being tested in the Indian market.
