The Honda Activa is a Lovely that needs no introduction. Since its launch in India more than two decades ago, this best-selling vehicle has seen minor updates and feature additions. Here are some reasons to buy the Activa 110 that will impress you over looking elsewhere.
1. Reasons to buy the Activa 110
1. Smooth engine which returns excellent fuel economy
The manufacturer we are talking about, refined and Honda power works for its products and the Activa is no exception. Its long-stroke engine delivers smooth power across the entire rev band and is also almost fuel efficient. In our test, the Activa delivered a top speed of 60kpl.

2. Absence of front disc brake
The top-of-the-line H-Smart variant of the Activa comes with a colour TFT display, keyless ignition and start/stop technology, yet it lacks a front disc brake. The drum brakes do a good enough job of slowing down the scooter but will require regular tightening and are a step up in terms of braking feel compared to disc brakes, both of which are important points to consider.
2. Reasons not to buy the Activa 110
One of the big reasons why people now prefer scooters over motorcycles is their practical underseat storage area. While some older electric scooters offer over 35 litres of storage,
the Activa's relatively small 18 litres of underseat storage area seems completely unrivalled these days. The Activa has done a good job on this.

3. Convenience-enhancing features
The USP of a scooter is how much convenience and practicality it offers to the user compared to comparable motorcycles. In this regard, the Activa excels in its keyless ignition system technology.

With the key in your pocket, to stop the engine, you just need to turn a knob on the handlebars to turn it on or lock it - very convenient and hassle-free. To restart the engine, you just need to turn the accelerator - a feature that also helps in increasing fuel efficiency.
