Honda PH Launches First All-Electric Motorcycle: The EM1 e: For P 155K


Aligning with its 2050 carbon neutrality goal, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) and Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI) jointly held the One Honda Electrification event to showcase its current and upcoming electrified products.

At Honda Cars Philippines, attention was centered around the Civic RS e:HEV preview. The first-ever electrified Civic for the local market, it will be making its debut at the Philippine International Motor Show next month.

Meanwhile, over at Honda Philippines, Inc., they’re leveraging their market leadership to launch their first-ever all-electric motorcycle, the EM1 e:.

Now available at Honda Flagship Stores nationwide, it comes with a P 155,400 price tag and is available in two colors: Pearl Sunbeam White and Digital Silver Metallic.

Unlike other electric scooters in the market, the EM1 e: has a detachable battery pack. The proprietary Honda Mobile Power Pack provides 41.3 kilometers of range (48 kilometers in Econ mode). It can then be swapped out and charged on a standard 220V outlet. Honda Flagship Stores are also selling additional Honda Mobile Power Packs for P 42,500 each and chargers at P 18,000.

A full charge—0 to 100 percent takes about six hours, but crucially, the 25 to 75 percent charge takes just 160 minutes. The Honda Mobile Power Pack is rated at 2,500 charge lifecycles.

The under bone style Honda EM1 e: has a 2 horsepower (1.3 kW), 90 Nm in-wheel three-phase electric motor that drives the rear wheels. It comes with front hydraulic disc brakes and a rear drum brake. It comes with 100/90-10 tubeless tires fitted on a front cast wheel and rear composite wheel.

Measuring in at 1,859 mm x 681 mm x 1,078 mm (L x W x H), it has 136 mm of ground clearance. Seat height is at 740 mm making it appropriate for Filipino builds. It weighs in at 95 kilograms with battery.

Features include LED head-and taillights, a digital meter panel, security key shutter, USB Type A charger, battery safety lock, and a top box-ready rear carrier.

After the eM1 e:, Honda Philippines will launch the SC1 e:.
