2026 Honda CUV e:

The CUV e: is Honda’s first electric lightweight scooter for Europe. At its core are two removable 1.3 kWh Mobile Power Packs that can be charged at home or in the office — ideal for urban riders without dedicated parking. WMTC range is 72 km. The 6 kW hub motor delivers smooth, seamless acceleration. Connectivity via the 7-inch TFT with Honda RoadSync Duo is excellent. At 120 kg and a 765 mm seat height, it’s easy to handle.

The CUV e: comes without ABS; the rear wheel uses a drum brake with CBS. A 72 km range is limited for longer commutes. The battery packs take up the underseat storage, and a top case costs extra. Target riders are A1 and B196 license holders in urban environments who prioritize flexible charging without fixed parking.

In comparison: The NIU NQi GT Pro offers more range at a similar price, but does not feature removable batteries. The BMW CE 02 also offers removable batteries, but targets a different audience with its distinct design.
