Honda's Chinese joint venture Wuyang-Honda has unveiled the UQ3, its first retro-styled electric scooter, priced at an affordable 4,899 yuan (about Rp12.99 million). It packs a 2,200W rear-hub motor with a 72V 23Ah lead-acid battery, offered in EV (53 km/h, 68 km range) and EM (48 km/h, ~70 km range) trims, plus NFC unlocking and Bluetooth app connectivity. It is not expected to reach Indonesia.

Looking at the data, a 72V 23Ah lead-acid pack with BMS is a cost-and-maturity call, not a lithium flex. At this price point it makes technical sense. Splitting speed and range slightly between the EV and EM trims also reads as a deliberate slicing of commuter use cases, not marketing fluff. The numbers, not the emotion, make this one add up.

68km range and 53km/h design speed on the EV version, strictly a neighborhood runabout

72V 23Ah lead-acid battery but it's got NFC unlock, weirdly mismatched tech

that's exactly why it's cheap, lead-acid is the whole point

4899 yuan is like under $700, that's crazy cheap
