Honda QC 1 Detailed Review
- The QC1 also comes with an LED headlamp placed lower on the front apron, while the
head panel receives a small visor and matt black treatment on the lower half. - Similar to the Activa e:, the QC1’s profile is also smooth and clutter-free, devoid of any
dramatic angles. Its design will please everyone and offend nobody. - It gets a 12-inch front alloy wheel and a 10-inch rear wheel. The rear of the QC1 comes
with a black panel surrounding the small tail lamp, but it also gets clear LED turn
indicators.
QC 1 body specifications:
| Ground Clearance | 169 mm |


- The QC1 is powered by a hub-mounted electric motor, producing a peak output of 2.4bhp, and reaching a top speed of 50kmph.
- The QC1 comes with a 1.5kWh fixed battery pack, which can be fully charged in a claimed time of 6.5 hours via a 350W on-board charger. This gives it a claimed range of 80km on a single charge.
- The QC1 gets a basic 5-inch LCD digital cluster, along with just two riding modes; eco
and standard. - A fixed battery pack enables the QC1 to free up 26 litres of underseat storage space,
and it also gets a small cubbyhole up with a type-C charging port, which will be useful to
keep your smartphone in.

Latest Updates on QC 1
Honda has paused production of both the Honda QC1 and the Activa E:, marking an early setback in the company's entry into the EV scooter market. While the petrol-powered Activa remains a bestseller, the electric models have struggled to gain traction just months after launch, prompting Honda to quietly pull the plug on production.
Honda Activa e: and the QC1 electric scooters have been launched at Rs. 1.17 lakhs and Rs. 90,000 ex-showroom. These electric scooters mark the entry of Honda into the electric two-wheeler space and the brand has revealed the official accessories list with pricing.
The Honda Activa e and Honda QC1 have now been officially launched, and the prices for each variant are out. Talking about the electric scooter, the QC1 is available at Rs 90,000.
Prospective buyers can now reserve the Honda Activa e: and QC1 with a nominal booking fee of Rs. 1,000. Reservations for the Activa e: are being accepted at designated Honda dealerships within Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. The QC1, conversely, is available for booking across a broader network encompassing Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Chandigarh.
Honda Motorcycles and Scooter India has unveiled two electric scooters, including the highly anticipated Active e and the Q1. The Active Electric gets two swappable batteries while the QC 1 is equipped with a fixed-type battery. The production of both these electric offerings will happen in India.
