Honda just release the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series as the ‘Scooter
for All.’
The New Generation
BeAT-FI eSP Series has been especially developed for the Philippine and
Indonesian markets in 2015 and serves as the latest iteration to the BeAT
scooters currently doing well in both countries. The new scooter is actually a giant
leap to a whole new level from features of the groundbreaking BeAT Carb in the
Philippines and the best-selling BeAT PGM-Fi in Indonesia.
The ‘Scooter for All’
is a small brother yet compact and sporty version of the very successful and
the class-leading Honda Click125i which Honda Philippines launched in February
2015 and referred to as the ‘Premium Scooter.’
Equipped with the
exclusive and industry-revolutionizing feature called the Honda Smart
Technology, which the company first introduced to the Honda Click125i, the New
Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series becomes the ‘Scooter for All’ primarily because
of its excellent engine performance, stylish and sporty design, groundbreaking
features, plus affordability that enables it to cater to a wider market base
among Filipino scooter enthusiasts.
At a retail price of
PhP66,900 for its standard model and PhP69,900 for the variant that highlights
the idling stop system (ISS) and the combi-brake system (CBS), the New
Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series is quite affordable enough among scooter
enthusiasts including the young generation of today’s riders as well as the
young at heart who are very much willing to let their beat out given the
perfect opportunity to do so.
In terms of design,
the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series is just the right size for the young
generation of Filipinos today. It is compact and makes its rider agile and
flashy. It exudes a sporty exterior appeal, accentuated further by its trendy
colors and speedy stripe, making it the scooter for everyone among today’s generation
of scooter enthusiasts.
It also comes with
other new design elements including an aerodynamic steering cover, an aggressive
headlight form, a very informative meter panel, a sporty tail light, a sporty
muffler protector, a stylish fan cover, a new design crankcase cover, sporty rear suspension with plastic cover, and
a stylish side mirror.
The New Generation
BeAT-FI eSP Series is also high on groundbreaking elements and features that
are practically typical in most of the scooters in the market today. It comes
with customer-friendly features that provide riders more convenience and
utility including a larger utility box, bigger tire size, comfortable triangle
riding position, unique battery position and cover, and very accessible
position of the air cleaner.
In terms of utility
space, the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series has a larger utility box that is
capable of accommodating 11.2 liters worth of personal items or safety
equipment.
The Honda Smart
Technology is actually what’s powering the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series to
its very remarkable on-road performance punctuated no less by its class-leading
fuel efficiency which is 63 kilometers per liter for its CBS/ISS variant and
58.5 kilometers per liter for the standard model based on the ECER40 test
method.
Honda has also
maintained its trend-setting safety and security features in the New Generation
BeAT-FI eSP Series including a secure key shutter, a side stand switch, park
brake lock, automatic headlight on (AHO), and the combi-brake system.
With the key secure
key shutter, the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series comes with a magnetic
locking system that can be closed manually, which reduces the risk of theft
apart from being more practical and comfortable.
It also comes with a
side stand switch equipped with an electric circuit breaker. Majority of motorcycle
and scooter accidents happen because riders forget to lift the side stand as
they drive. It won’t happen with the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series as the
scooter engine would not start if the side stand is in the down position
thereby eliminating the risk of possible accident and ensuring safety for the
rider.
The park brake lock
is meant to prevent the motor current to jump start the engine and jerk the
scooter, and also avoid the risk of unwanted accident for the rider. It is very
easy to operate by hand since all the rider needs to do is to pull back the
left brake lever and the park brake lock is released.
Having the automatic
headlight on whenever a rider is driving greatly ensures his visibility to
other motorists. And that is the reason why it is also a form of safety feature
of the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series.
And finally the
combi-brake system is the safety feature that delivers controllability,
convenience, and the sense of confidence for the rider because the technology
in the scooter gives it the optimum braking power while reducing nosedive,
which is very common in many scooters and motorcycles. Because the technology
enables the application of the right amount of brake power on both wheels of
the scooter, shortest stopping distance when braking can be achieved.
