Honda has taken the wraps off an all-new electric scooter at the Tokyo motor show, called the PCX Electric. The scooter is meant for urban environs and is 1,923mm long, 745mm wide and 1,107mm tall.
The electric scooter is powered by a 1.33hp electric motor and gets a detachable lithium-ion mobile battery pack named Honda Mobile Power Pack, which has been developed independently.
The Japanese two-wheeler brand also had the PCX Hybrid on display at the motor show. It possesses an independently developed hybrid system that uses a high-output battery and ACG starter to assist the internal combustion engine.
Both the PCX Electric and Hybrid are expected to launch in Asian markets including Japan in 2018.
While there is no official confirmation from the bike maker, both scooters could find a place at the upcoming Auto Expo in New Delhi, where electric mobility is the theme of the hour.
