Scoopy Swoops In: Honda’s 2025 Retro Scooter Gets Indian Patent, Sparks Launch Hopes

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has applied for a new design patent for the 2025 Scoopy, fueling rumors of the launch of this retro-futuristic scooter in the Indian market. Although the patent does not guarantee an imminent launch, it reflects Honda's increasing focus on the fashion-conscious, youth-oriented scooter market, which is a hit in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines.

 

Key Highlights

Launch Opportunities

 

Despite the hype, Honda has a history of Indian patent filing of global models primarily for intellectual property purposes with no guarantee of Indian market introduction. Previous patents of models like the NPF125 and CB190TR never led to Indian introductions. However, the regular patent filing and growing popularity of premium, retro-styled scooters leave the door open for a possible introduction in the second half of 2025.

 

"The 2025 Honda Scoopy is a good union of retro-style looks and new-school functionality… If the Scoopy were to be brought here, it might well redefine style expectations in the 110cc class."
