Model Overview
The majority of the EM1 e: is conventional: steel underbone frame, telescopic forks, twin shock absorbers, and disc front/drum rear braking being traditional moped components. It is small, simple to handle, and offers clean mobility with fresh new appearance.
The electric in-wheel motor and Honda's proprietary Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, which can be removed for convenient home charging with a custom charging station, are what's actually new.
The EM1 e is completely furnished with a digital dash, top-notch switchgear, a spacious floor area, under-seat storage, and a USB charging port. It also features pillion footpegs, rear carrier and side stand for speedy parking.
Styling and equipment
Deliberately shaped to stand apart from its ICE siblings, the EM1 e: is slim and compact, blending a mixture of smooth, organic curves up front with a more angular, purposeful rear section. A 12V battery powers the scooter’s systems and all lighting is LED. A simple digital dash displays all the information that matters concisely, including remaining battery charge percentage.
There’s 3.3L of storage space under the seat, and an inner pocket large enough to store a 500ml PET water bottle can be found on the left side of the fairing front; on the right a USB socket for smartphone charging is a useful feature. There’s also a handy hook to hang a bag from, and grab rails for the pillion passenger.
A rear carrier is also fitted as standard while the pillion footpegs fold neatly into the bodywork when not in use. A useful 35L top box and rear carrier will be available as an optional accessory.
