Honda introduced the new UC3 electric motorcycle to Vietnamese customers on 10/1 in Hanoi. This model marks Honda's third electric vehicle to be sold in Vietnam, following the CUV e: and ICON e:.

A 5-inch digital display connects with Honda RoadSync technology, enabling users to link with smartphones via bluetooth for calls, navigation, and other features.

The left handlebar cluster features multiple control buttons. The UC3 electric motorcycle also includes a reverse gear, simplifying maneuvering when parking or backing up.

The vehicle offers three riding modes: Standard, Sport, and ECON, to suit various driving conditions and preferences.

The rear of the vehicle features soft, rounded details.

The UC3 is equipped with an 8 horsepower electric motor in the rear wheel, delivering 22 Nm of torque.

Honda positions the UC3 in the mid-range segment, alongside the ICON e:, and below the CUV e: which is in the premium segment.

Under-seat storage accommodates personal items and a half-face helmet.

The LED taillight is sleek and curved.

The front storage compartment includes a USB-C charging port.

The Honda UC3 is available in two versions: Standard and Special, with three color options.
