Honda Activa e
The Honda Activa e is based on the body and frame of the Activa itself, and rivals other electric commuter models in the segment equivalent to a 110 cc internal combustion engine model.

Honda QC 1
The other electric vehicle unveiled by the Japanese two wheeler maker is the Honda QC 1. Honda terms the QC 1 as a moped rather than a scooter. Interestingly, this model will be exclusive to the Indian market.
The Honda QC1 is powered by a 1.5 kWh fixed battery that is claimed to use high-energy density and long-cycle life battery cells. The battery can be recharged at home using a dedicated charger. The QC 1 is propelled by a compact in-wheel motor rated to deliver 1.6 bhp and a maximum output of 2.4 bhp. The QC 1 is offered with a claimed range of 80 km on a single charge.
In terms of design, the Honda QC 1 is very similar to the Honda Activa e, however there are few subtle differences. To begin with, the QC 1 does not get the high mounted LED DRL. It further misses out on a wraparound taillight and some of the chrome elements that are offered with the Activa e. Moreover, unlike the Activa E, which uses disc brakes at the front, the QC 1 gets drum brakes at the front. Nonetheless, the QC 1 retains the LED lighting as the Activa e.
In terms of features, it gets a 5-inch LCD instrument panel that displays the speed, as well as other useful information including a battery level indicator along with USB Type-C socket for charging mobile devices. The QC 1 also gets a luggage compartment under the seat that provides space for storing a helmet and other small items.
