Set for release in Europe mid-next year is the 2023 Honda EM1 e: electric scooter. The EM1 e: is part of Honda’s plan to release 10 or more electric two-wheelers globally by 2025 along with a more ambitious plan of having its motorcycle lineup being carbon neutral by 2040.
The ‘EM’ stands for Electric Moped and styling closely follows traditional scooter design language with short wheelbase and flat floorboard for easy mounting and dismounting while wearing work clothes. Primarily designed for urban mobility, the EM1 e: is intended for short trips in and around city areas.
This is borne out by its short travel range of 40 km from the single battery – Honda calls it a Mobile Power Pack (MPP) – supplied. The battery its swappable, allowing for charging using domestic current .
A rear wheel hub-mounted electric motor provides motive power but the power rating was not disclosed. No other details were released on the EM1 e: including its price which we expect will be announced during its market release in 2023.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
wonder what is the torque of these electric bikes. If it’s the same with electric cars (has powerful torque) then it would truly change the view about noisy, loud exhaust motorbikes being powerful. and hopefully no more monkeys on noisy motorbikes on our roads.
These are single-motor e-bikes. the acceleration is just okay-ish. probably 48v architecture. if you want breakneck torque, try e-scooter with dual motor 60v.
You must be dreaming if u think those monkey mindset will change anytime soon. Those noisy primates are usually lowly educated people, so dont bet on them not using noisy exhausts anytime soon.
Understand the practicality of them, however if we look at converting the current users to this may not work. Simply because most CUB/mopes users commute close to 100kms per day. A simple return trip from shah alam to KL for example is about 70kms per day. At 40km only range, real world will be say 35km or less, will not work. I am all for this but it has to match the need. Yes they will sell a few to those city fold who buy this more for lifestyle use rather than necessity like most of us riders.
Hopefully a CUB/Scooter with a real world range of 150km per charge/per battery change will come up. Then only then the talk will be when not if users will be converted
true. the range needs to be extended, or this will not work as a commuter bike.
On he other hand, it might be okay for most people living on the Penang island. Although having 70kmh top speed would actually be much safer.
This is not a kapchai. In Europe a moped has a max. speed of 45km/h. For a kapchai you would need a ‘bigger’ license there.
