What’s the Buzz About?

There’s a fresh ripple of excitement in the two-wheeler world Honda has filed another patent for the Scoopy in India. And yes, we’ve been here before. This isn’t the scooter’s first brush with the Indian market, but the 2025 filing is making heads turn again. Could this finally be it?

Known for its old-school charm and modern features, the Scoopy is anything but your everyday commuter. If you like your rides to stand out without screaming for attention, you’ll want to keep an eye on this one.

Retro Looks with a Modern Twist

If scooters had personalities, the Scoopy would be the stylish one in the friend group effortless, a little vintage, and always neat.

• It rocks a rounded LED headlamp paired with a smooth, matching taillight
• Unique D-shaped indicators add a touch of flair
• You get a plush one-piece seat that’s long enough for comfort
• A clean, flat floorboard gives it that practical city-friendly appeal
• It’s light and compact, which makes weaving through traffic a breeze

It’s more than transport-it brings personality to the road.

What’s Under the Body?

If Honda brings the international version to India, we can expect a familiar yet capable engine under that curvy shell.

Engine & Performance:

• It’s expected to carry a 109.5cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine-the same trusted unit powering scooters like the Activa and Dio.
• Around 9 PS of power and 9.2 Nm of torque (unofficial estimates)
• CVT gearbox means you twist the throttle and go
• Fuel efficiency could hit ~59 kmpl, based on global test cycles
• Includes Honda’s silent ACG starter and Idling Stop System to save more fuel

It’s not about racing. It’s about smooth, stress-free rides through traffic and narrow lanes.

Tech & Everyday Features

The Scoopy may look retro, but it doesn’t fall behind on the tech front:

• A clean digital instrument cluster with all the basics: speed, trip, fuel, etc.
• There’s a built-in USB slot, perfect for topping up your phone while riding.
• Smart Key system (expected in top trims) with remote start and anti-theft
• Under-seat storage that can swallow your daily essentials around 15L
• Featherlight build at just 95 to 99 kg, perfect for younger or newer riders

It’s got everything you’d want from a city-friendly scooter, with a sprinkle of cool.

Chassis and Safety: Built for the Streets

Let’s talk about how it handles, because a scooter like this should feel just as good as it looks.

• A lightweight underbone frame for easy maneuverability
• Telescopic front forks and swingarm rear suspension to absorb city bumps
• 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres keep things grippy
• Drum brakes with Combi Brake System (CBS) should come standard
• Some higher trims might even get a front disc brake

Comfort and confidence come standard here.

Price and Launch Timeline

There’s no official word from Honda just yet, but the buzz points to a late 2025 or early 2026 timeline. The pricing? That’s the tricky part.

It all depends on how Honda positions this: commuter chic, or lifestyle luxe?
