    My experience about my dream scooter activa. My buying experience, i can say value for money. When it comes to riding experience u just have to show some love n care like regular servicing, oil check, quick response to minor problems. Change the engine oil every 3000kms, maintain speed of 40-50. Thank you.

  • Excellent for riding

    5 years ago


    Mayur Patil

    Good scooty. Smooth engine. It doesn't vibrate until 55kph. After that we can feel the vibration. I generally don't ride beyond 60kph. The vibration could be because of the light weight of the scooty. Activa 3g/4g is aluminium body. Probably, activa 3g/4g wont vibrate at 60kph. Mileage is 40-45 kpl if we ride at 40-45kph speed (city traffic). Even after 22 months of use, i get 50-55 kpl as i ride mostly on highways at 45-55kph speed.

  • Better but could be more better

    5 years ago


    Fawwaz Aziz

    This scooty is affordable even buying it in emi it was affordable. Because of its light weight it is easy to ride and turning to any direction is very easy. But the scooty is made of fibre this thing i don't like but the engine is good but it's less than it's brother activa 5g and 4g. I it could have been better.

  • Honda-a new generation

    5 years ago


    Shaikh Ziyan

    I brought honda activa i in 2015 as i was confused as what to buy for daily routine use then i went to different companies showroom but all was like waste of time .Then one day my sister suggested me to buy activa i so i think about it and then i went to honda showroom for more details and i really like it's features and so i buy it. It's cool to ride activa i. It is very smooth .It's pick is excellent. It gives nice smoothness at speed of 45 km/hr which is quite good and it gives a top speed of 65 km/hr then the handle starts to vibrate . It's maintenance is low and whole body is design in a unique stylish way. It's seat is short and it has a fibre body so it is very delicate . If company can provide metal body and a little more colour option then it will be superb if i maintain it . It is too good . The only con is it's fibre body.

  • A common bike for a common man

    5 years ago


    Anvesh

    Hi,I am using honda activa regularly it will be a good means of transport for an it employees, for a person who is running a family with kids ,even it will help women to drop and receive children from schools. For a business person it will help to carry goods and luggage etc..Few things to be updated in existing activa is 1.Braking system (will take the to control vehicle whenever we are going on 60kmph even we have the combination brake system) 2.Immediate acceleration pick up(it will be disadvantage at the time of travelling with children) 3.Should have some high focus head lamps as it's existing head lamp will cover only small range of distance. 4.Road tax should be decreased 5. Even at the time of traveling some lengthy distances we will get severe back pain , something should be done to overcome this problem.

  • Don't follow the herd. Compare before you buy

    5 years ago


    Mahesh Yadav

    The activa i is pretty much the activa but with a skinnier body and plastic panels. A lighter and narrower vehicle is perfectly suited for ladies.----------the activa i has stiff rear suspension and the front has a tendency to de compress under hard braking. Quite the opposite of what you'd expect a two wheeler to do. But i'm told that this is normal behaviour as it's not telescopic unit. Such a behaviour has made me just the asphalt more than once. If it's up to me, i'd not buy a vehicle without telescopic forks. My navi has no such problems.---------the headlight is barely usable.---------the combi brand works reasonably well.---------reliability is fantastic. ------because of stiff ride quality, it's difficult to do long distances. But I've done 200+ km per day many times. So it's possible but painful.-------- the seat isn't spacious. Wide does not mean spacious. It's the riders triangle that matters. The handlebars are too low. So it keeps hitting the knee quite frequently. It's a safety risk. My navi feels more spacious than the activa i-------- fuel cap is under seat so you have to get off the seat for refuelling. I absolutely hate that.--------- fuel efficiency is 45km/l with mostly highway riding.---------- if i had to buy a scooter today, i'd buy the jupiter. One of my colleagues bought it about a year back and he's totally happy with it. It has telescopic forks, external fuel cap, bigger wheels with alloy and disc brake.

    Upgrade to Ceat grip tyres. There's also tubeless variant of this tyre available as it comes with the Honda cliq. This tyre gives you enormous confidence to go over sand, slush, and gravel at the cost of a little bit if lean angle. For lean angle, the TVS tire has more angular profile.

    Good scooty. Smooth engine. It doesn't vibrate until 55kph. After that we can feel the vibration. I generally don't ride beyond 60kph. The vibration could be because of the light weight of the scooty. Activa 3g/4g is aluminium body. Probably, activa 3g/4g wont vibrate at 60kph. Mileage is 40-45 kpl if we ride at 40-45kph speed (city traffic). Even after 22 months of use, i get 50-55 kpl as i ride mostly on highways at 45-55kph speed.

  • Better but could be more better

    5 years ago


    Fawwaz Aziz

    This scooty is affordable even buying it in emi it was affordable. Because of its light weight it is easy to ride and turning to any direction is very easy. But the scooty is made of fibre this thing i don't like but the engine is good but it's less than it's brother activa 5g and 4g. I it could have been better.

  • Honda-a new generation

    Shaikh Ziyan

    I brought honda activa i in 2015 as i was confused as what to buy for daily routine use then i went to different companies showroom but all was like waste of time .Then one day my sister suggested me to buy activa i so i think about it and then i went to honda showroom for more details and i really like it's features and so i buy it. It's cool to ride activa i. It is very smooth .It's pick is excellent. It gives nice smoothness at speed of 45 km/hr which is quite good and it gives a top speed of 65 km/hr then the handle starts to vibrate . It's maintenance is low and whole body is design in a unique stylish way. It's seat is short and it has a fibre body so it is very delicate . If company can provide metal body and a little more colour option then it will be superb if i maintain it . It is too good . The only con is it's fibre body.

  • A common bike for a common man

    Anvesh

    Hi,I am using honda activa regularly it will be a good means of transport for an it employees, for a person who is running a family with kids ,even it will help women to drop and receive children from schools. For a business person it will help to carry goods and luggage etc..Few things to be updated in existing activa is 1.Braking system (will take the to control vehicle whenever we are going on 60kmph even we have the combination brake system) 2.Immediate acceleration pick up(it will be disadvantage at the time of travelling with children) 3.Should have some high focus head lamps as it's existing head lamp will cover only small range of distance. 4.Road tax should be decreased 5. Even at the time of traveling some lengthy distances we will get severe back pain , something should be done to overcome this problem.

  • Don't follow the herd. Compare before you buy

    5 years ago


    Mahesh Yadav

    The activa i is pretty much the activa but with a skinnier body and plastic panels. A lighter and narrower vehicle is perfectly suited for ladies.----------the activa i has stiff rear suspension and the front has a tendency to de compress under hard braking. Quite the opposite of what you'd expect a two wheeler to do. But i'm told that this is normal behaviour as it's not telescopic unit. Such a behaviour has made me just the asphalt more than once. If it's up to me, i'd not buy a vehicle without telescopic forks. My navi has no such problems.---------the headlight is barely usable.---------the combi brand works reasonably well.---------reliability is fantastic. ------because of stiff ride quality, it's difficult to do long distances. But I've done 200+ km per day many times. So it's possible but painful.-------- the seat isn't spacious. Wide does not mean spacious. It's the riders triangle that matters. The handlebars are too low. So it keeps hitting the knee quite frequently. It's a safety risk. My navi feels more spacious than the activa i-------- fuel cap is under seat so you have to get off the seat for refuelling. I absolutely hate that.--------- fuel efficiency is 45km/l with mostly highway riding.---------- if i had to buy a scooter today, i'd buy the jupiter. One of my colleagues bought it about a year back and he's totally happy with it. It has telescopic forks, external fuel cap, bigger wheels with alloy and disc brake.

    Upgrade to Ceat grip tyres. There's also tubeless variant of this tyre available as it comes with the Honda cliq. This tyre gives you enormous confidence to go over sand, slush, and gravel at the cost of a little bit if lean angle. For lean angle, the TVS tire has more angular profile.

    Ajay

    My experience about my dream scooter activa. My buying experience, i can say value for money. When it comes to riding experience u just have to show some love n care like regular servicing, oil check, quick response to minor problems. Change the engine oil every 3000kms, maintain speed of 40-50. Thank you.
