The Honda V-GO is quite a popular electric
moped in China, especially amongst the youth. Now, Sundiro Honda has launched a new battery pack option that doubles
its range. The Honda V-GO has a range of 45 km. The new battery pack upgrade
promises to deliver 100% increase in the range. This means that with a full
single charge, customers can now use it for 90 km.
The higher capacity Lithium-ion battery
pack costs CNY 2,699. However, to commemorate the first
anniversary of the electric moped, customers can get it for half the price,
i.e, CNY 1,350. It is safe to assume that this offer is valid
for only for a limited period. The EV itself costs CNY 7,988.
The Honda V-GO features a compact and
lightweight design. It is 1,671 mm long, 665 mm wide and 1,040 mm tall. It
weighs only 65 kg and has a ground clearance of 132 mm. Despite the small
dimensions, the V-GO offers a spacious floorboard that is 310 mm wide and 400
mm long.
Some of the key features of the Honda V-GO
are:
- 14.2-litres of under-seat storage
- Front pocket USB charger
- Full-LED lighting
- Relaxed riding ergonomics
- Modern-design
- Fully-digital instrument cluster
- CBS for enhanced braking
- Smart key
- GPS
- Dedicated mobile application
The Honda V-GO seems to be a good option
for city commutes. It should be a boon to ride in dense traffic thanks to its
lightweight and compact dimensions. In India, the demand for electric
two-wheelers like the Revolt RV400 and Ather 450X has increased. This shows
that people have started accepting them.
