New 125cc Electric Scooter: Honda CUV e: 2025

After the successful launch of the EM1 e: in 2023, Honda is now introducing another electric model with the CUV e:, specifically targeting environmentally conscious urban commuters. With the aim of achieving sustainability across the entire motorcycle and scooter range, the CUV e: represents a significant step in Honda's sustainable mobility strategy.

The Honda CUV e: is powered by a 6 kW E-Drive hub motor, giving the scooter a top speed of up to 83 km/h. At the heart of the vehicle are two interchangeable Honda Mobile Power Pack e: batteries, each with 48 volts and 1.3 kWh capacity. With this battery capacity, the CUV e: achieves a range of over 70 km, based on internal Honda tests in WMTC mode. Additionally, the e-scooter offers three riding modes: Standard, Sport, and Econ, to optimize the riding experience depending on the application.

The approximately 10 kg batteries can be removed and charged at a standard household socket. A full charge cycle from 0 to 100% takes about six hours, while a partial charge from 0 to 75% is achieved in just three hours. Honda emphasizes the robustness and longevity of the batteries, which are designed for over 2,500 charge cycles.

Honda has equipped the CUV e: with a variety of features. The 5-inch TFT display is standard and provides the rider with all necessary EV-specific information. For additional connectivity and navigation functions, an optional 7-inch TFT display with the Honda RoadSync Duo system can be selected. Additional features include:

• Reverse Assist: A reverse assist feature that is helpful when parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
• Smartkey System: The smart key allows the rider to easily start the vehicle without actively using the key.
• LED Lighting and USB-C Port: The LED lighting technology ensures optimal visibility, and the USB-C charging port allows devices to be charged while riding.

The chassis of the Honda CUV e: aims to impress with its robust construction and high-quality components. The steel frame with an underbone design, combined with a 31 mm telescopic fork and two rear shock absorbers, is intended to provide comfort and stability. The seat height of 766 mm and the flat step-through allow for a comfortable seating position and easy mounting and dismounting. Weighing in at 120 kg, the CUV e: is also light enough for inexperienced riders. The 12-inch wheels and the Combined Braking System (CBS) are designed to ensure safe braking deceleration. The turning radius of just 1.9 meters supports easy maneuvering in the city, and with a ground clearance of 210 mm, the scooter can also handle uneven road conditions well.

Honda offers a wide range of genuine accessories that allow the CUV e: to be tailored to individual needs and preferences. Prices are yet to be announced.
