The next one remains as vague as ever, but Honda has at least given us some idea of what these would power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Specific models of electric rickshaws <a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/haojin-399-x-global-sport-concept-by-oberdan-bezzi\/\"><strong>will be used during testing<\/strong><\/a>, and the &#8220;Electric Vehicle Mobile Power Pack&#8221; was developed with that application in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51225 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02.jpg 980w, https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02-595xh.jpg 595w, https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/livingimage.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2191219eng-benly_02-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Benly:e is a trial motorcycle from Honda tested in India, and Atharva Belamkar captured the video below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While we don&#8217;t know much beyond the fact that one of the company&#8217;s premier commercial scooters comes tested in India, Honda Benly spotted could signify things to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Given the popularity of small-displacement bikes and scooters in India. It would make sense for Honda to introduce some of its other offerings to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Honda is preparing to bring one more vehicle to the Indian market.
