Suzuki e-Access leads Japanese electric scooter sales
Honda Activa-e and QC1 trail in second place
Between January and April this year, Suzuki dispatched 2,261 units of the Suzuki e-Access from its Gurugram facility, while retail deliveries stood at 1,161 units.
That figure is notably higher than what Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India managed in the same period, with a combined 1,284 units dispatched for the Activa e: and QC1. Retail sales for the two models stood at 1,039 units during the same timeframe.
Yamaha, which launched the EC-06 in February this year, has dispatched 426 units over the past three months, with retail deliveries currently at 140 units. That said, the EC-06 is currently sold only in select cities across a few states. As Yamaha expands availability, sales volumes are likely to increase.
