Honda ICON e: features full LED headlights and taillights, a monochrome LCD speedometer, a USB charging port, a 26-liter trunk, and a traditional key.

The motorcycle uses a 1.5 kW electric motor, generating a maximum of 2.42 horsepower and 85Nm of torque, with a top speed of 49 kilometers per hour.

These specifications meet the requirements that allow high school and university students to ride the vehicle without a driver's license.

Pursuant to Vietnam’s regulations, riders of electric motorcycles with a power output of no more than 4kW and a maximum speed under 50 kilometers per hour do not need a driver's license.

ICON e: is powered by a 30.6 Ah Lithium-ion battery placed on the footboard, providing a range of 50 km on a full charge and meeting the IP67 water resistance standard.

The charging time is nearly 7.5 hours. There are two charging options: directly through the port on the motorcycle or removing the battery from the motorcycle and charging it.
