The low weight, low seat height and compact dimensions will aid the Activa-i to manoeuver easily through traffic.
Engine and Gearbox

Suspension
The Honda Activa-i uses a trailing link suspension system at the front end, and a hydraulic shock absorber at the rear.

The Honda Activa-i comes fitted with 130mm drum brakes on the front and rear wheels.
The Honda Activa-i is meant for those looking for a scooter for commuting short distances(less than 30 kms per day) within the city, and those who are new to riding a motorized two wheeler. Check the Honda Activa-I review in the section below.*
