Bhago Mobility has partnered with Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) and Honda Power Pack Energy India (HEID) to launch an integrated electric mobility platform aimed at India’s urban transport workforce. The rollout will begin in Delhi and Bengaluru, with a Pan India expansion planned over the next three years.

The platform offers a bundled, subscription-based model providing access to electric two-wheelers, battery-swapping infrastructure, compliance support and technology tools. It is designed for delivery partners, ride-hailing drivers and last-mile logistics operators, while also enabling individuals to own vehicles for self-use or to deploy through the platform.

HMSI will supply electric two-wheelers, including the Activa e:, engineered for high-utilisation commercial operations. HEID will support operations through its battery-swapping network, enabling near-instant battery replacement and minimising downtime.

According to Mutsuo Usui, Director – Sales & Marketing, HMSI, the collaboration aims to deliver reliable, productivity-enhancing electric mobility backed by comprehensive after-sales support. Aditya Goyal, Managing Director, Bhago Mobility, said the integrated model combines engineering, energy infrastructure and digital tools to address on-ground challenges in urban mobility.

Bhago’s proprietary technology platform integrates background verification, roadside assistance, operational management and daily performance analytics to optimise worker earnings. The initiative also includes targeted programmes to increase women’s participation in urban transport and logistics roles.
