As the name suggests, the Honda PCX Hybrid utilizes a gas/electric system. Honda also mentioned that this bike employs a high-output battery and ACG (Alternating Current Generator) starter for the engine to give the bike a ‘torqueful’ riding performance.

Both electric scooters are slated to be on sale in Asia next year, including Japan. Whether this bike will be available in Singapore, or details regarding the price, is still unknown.
