The "Scooter for All" from Honda Philippines Has Finally Arrived

by - Sunday, June 07, 2015

I was back in 2nd year high school when I first learned how to drive a motorcycle. Since I was young back then, I would just stroll around the subdivision using my tito's unit. I like the thought of the driving freely and just going down the road. It was really a ride that I would want to do on a summer afternoon.

Last May 30, Honda Philippines Inc. launched the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series.

While according to Elie Salamangkit Jr., the Product Planning Manager of Honda Philippines, the New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series is banking on its class-leading fuel efficiency, the Honda exclusive and industry-pioneering technology, stylish and sporty design, better utility, and affordability that is expected to strongly appeal to a wider market base, to immediately make its mark in the local scooter market.

The three brand ambassadors of the Honda New Generation BeAT-FI eSP were also introduced: Basketball Player Ricci Paolo Rivero, DJ Katsy Lee and Skateboarder Demetrio Cuevas.

The New Generation BeAT-FI eSP Series would hit the local retail markets literally and figuratively running, in terms of consumer interests, performance, and most notably sales. It has practically the same DNA as the Honda Click125i that was launched in February so Honda Philippines is quite confident that it will also be a success in terms of performance and sales given its affordability and expected wider market base.

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.
