Honda QC 1

The Honda QC1 is an entry‑level electric scooter launched in India as one of Honda’s most affordable EV options, priced around Rs. 90,000 (ex‑showroom). It immediately catches attention with its compact size and low kerb weight, making it easy to ride in dense urban traffic. The fixed 1.5 kWh battery offers a claimed range of around 80 km per charge and a top speed limited to 50 kmph, tailored for short, daily commutes. Practical touches like a 5‑inch LCD display, sizeable under‑seat storage and USB‑C port add convenience, though the basic feature list and modest performance keep it firmly in the budget EV category. Overall, the QC1 makes sense for riders who want a simple, affordable electric scooter for short city runs.

Honda QC 1 Latest Update

Last Updated on 27th Nov'24 : Honda Motorcycle & Scooter Limited has launched its QC1 Electric scooter in India at Rs 90,000 (ex-showroom). The QC1 electric scooter comes with a fixed battery setup and offers a claimed range of 80 km. The scooter can sprint from 0-40 kmph in 9.4 seconds and offers a top speed of 80 kmph

The QC1 comes in as the second electric scooter from Honda, and it is the more affordable of the two new electric scooters, as it does misses out on connectivity features, but it comes with an LCD screen, two riding modes, a claimed range of 80km, and a claimed time of 6.5 hours for a full charge.

Features

The QC1 is the more basic of the two electric scooters showcased by Honda, and with a multitude of inferior quality low-cost electric scooters doing the rounds in the market, the Japanese two-wheeler maker is likely keeping them in its crosshairs. However, not much can be said unless the prices are out.

Reliable EV

This electric scooter delivers excellent performance with smooth driving and a comfortable riding position. It features good suspension, a comfortable pillion ride, and decent-sized mirrors. The wide footboard and ample storage add practicality. The scooter has proven reliable with no major issues so far, offers a decent range, and its normal mode is more than adequate for city riding. Sales and service experiences have also been positive, making it a great value-for-money option.
