Honda has officially lifted the wraps off its latest electric two-wheeler for the European market — the all-new Honda CUV e. This modern, urban-centric electric scooter promises better performance, improved range, and all the essential features a city commuter would want. Designed specifically for developed markets, the CUV e is Honda’s next big step in the EV space.

Powered by a 6kW motor with dual Mobile Power Pack e batteries
Claimed top speed: 83 km/h; range: 70 km
Available in two variants: Standard and Connected
Will not launch in India
Compact Power Meets Urban Practicality
The Honda CUV e is built for short-range, efficient commuting. With a 6kW hub-mounted motor, the scooter is designed to tackle daily urban routes with ease. It draws power from two swappable Mobile Power Pack e batteries — a technology Honda has been developing for some time now. On a full charge, the CUV e offers a claimed range of 70 km, which should be more than enough for most intra-city rides.
The scooter maxes out at a top speed of 83 km/h, putting it well within the performance range needed for daily city traffic and occasional faster roads. Cycle parts include a 12-inch front wheel, telescopic front forks, and a rear mono-shock setup for balanced and comfortable rides.
The CUV e is clearly built with utility in mind. It comes with a flat floorboard for easy foot placement and carrying bags, under-seat storage for daily essentials, and optional mounts for a top box if you need extra luggage space. These features make it especially convenient for office-goers, delivery riders, and short-distance urban commuters.
In terms of variants, the scooter is available in Standard and Connected trims. The Connected model is tech-savvy and comes with a 7-inch full-colour TFT display, smartphone connectivity through the Honda RoadSync Duo app, and built-in GPS navigation. The more basic Standard version gets a 5-inch display and a simpler dashboard layout.
Buyers can choose from three sleek colour options — Pearl Jubilee White, Matte Gunmetal Black Metallic, and Premium Silver Metallic. The styling is clean and premium, with a design language that echoes Honda’s global EV aesthetic.
As of now, the Honda CUV e is only being offered in select European markets. The brand has clearly stated that there are no plans to bring this model to India. That’s likely due to the difference in market needs, infrastructure, and EV adoption stages.
Final Thoughts
The Honda CUV e represents a smart and stylish entry into the growing electric scooter space in Europe. With a practical range, good performance, and modern-day tech features, it’s a solid package for city commuters. While Indian customers may not see it on roads anytime soon, it definitely hints at what Honda could eventually bring to the EV segment in the near future.
