Honda has entered a new stage in electric mobility by starting sales of its fixed-battery electric two-wheeler, the UC3, in Thailand and Vietnam, while not yet confirming an India launch.
Honda UC3 Marks Brand’s New Era in Electric Mobility
The UC3 is targeted at everyday commuters and is positioned as an electric substitute for 110cc petrol motorcycles, which are very popular in those markets.
The UC3 is a personal electric commuter scooter designed mainly for daily city travel.
Honda has confirmed that deliveries of the UC3 will begin in the spring season.
Alongside the launch, Honda is expanding charging infrastructure in major cities across Thailand and Vietnam.
A key highlight of the UC3 is its fixed-type battery, meaning the battery is not removable like in some other electric scooters.
The UC3 uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, marking the first time Honda has used an LFP battery in an electric two-wheeler.
LFP batteries are noted for improved durability, higher safety, and longer life cycles.
The UC3 is powered by a wheel-side electric motor developed by Honda.
The motor produces around 8 bhp, giving performance comparable to a typical 110cc petrol motorcycle.
Honda UC3 Offers Up to 122 km Range on a Full Charge
Based on Thailand certification data (WMTC Mode 1), the UC3 can travel up to 122 km on a full charge.
This riding range is stated to be sufficient for daily commuting needs.
The UC3 includes regenerative braking, allowing the battery to partially recharge when slowing down or braking to improve efficiency.
The electric bike comes with three riding modes: Standard, Sport, and Econ, letting riders choose between performance and efficiency.
A reverse mode is included to help with parking and low-speed maneuvering, especially in crowded urban environments.
The design follows a clean and modern style with smooth, continuous curves from front to rear.
It features a horizontal light signature.
The color scheme is black-based with contrasting accents.
Honda has created a special “Honda” font specifically for its electric motorcycles, giving the UC3 a distinct identity.
For charging, the UC3 supports the CHAdeMO standard for two-wheelers.
Honda will provide two charger options rated at 1200W and 450W.
Production of the UC3 began in December 2025 in Thailand.
Units produced in Thailand will supply both the Thai and Vietnamese markets.
Honda has confirmed plans to start local production in Vietnam during 2026.
