Can't wait for mine. Was on backorder. I'm getting it this month😊

[@RunPlayBack]

Nice! Hope you like it! 👍

[@FizzerSix]

damn i might have to order one of these, saw everyone riding them at the American Honda show in Torrance last month! thanks for the review as always bro

[@RunPlayBack]

Haha yeah they're pretty fun!

[@Chad-Giga.]

Need this for my college

[@reed2896]

This is the legit tutorial i needed. Thank you!

[@RunPlayBack]

Glad it helped!

[@roots2gotv]

Love this. Going to pick one up tomorrow. What I'd really like to know is what kind of phone case you were using? Please drop a link🙏🏽😊

[@watchucookinjawni]

me in my girls ear: 7:05

[@JustinLazaro]

Might snag one! Thanks for the review!

[@RunPlayBack]

@@JustinLazaro anytime! Happy to help!

[@Oneeyedoyster]

you're only going to fold that thing so many times before you just leave it unfolded.

[@MilouTintin]

Unless you're bringing it on a subway or bus... Or even to put in your trunk.

[@mericanfreedom8347]

Putting a “Lifetime” decal on each side would be the perfect addition to make people think you’re riding around on a folding table😂

[@focuspulling]

Was wondering about this; thanks for the review. Gotta hope they work out the setup speed to go faster in a future iteration. (Would've loved to be a fly on the wall at the corporate meeting when the engineers demoed the setup/breakdown speed and confronted the Honda executives...)

[@RunPlayBack]

Haha yeah, I mean it's like both completely ridiculous and completely sensible. Which is probably what they were going for.

[@focuspulling]

@@RunPlayBack I suppose the seat post especially mystifies: they could have engineered a flip-up mechanism unfolding from storage that keeps everything attached; and no matter what it would take to accomplish, one lever action for the rear wheel feels like the maximum sensible! Promising product anyway; in downtown NYC for small apartments with walk-ups, this can become an alternative to electric CitiBikes.

[@RunPlayBack]

@@focuspulling Yup for sure...all great points! I'm just amazed at how popular it's gotten. The Honda brand name goes a long way.

[@HondaFit4Adventure]

I'll have a video out in a few days. I just passed 1200 miles and have a 36mile range. The speed limit is still the same but we'll work on that next.

[@RunPlayBack]

@@HondaFit4Adventurethats awesome! Cant wait to check it out!

[@TronApostle]

I commute 30 mins into Chicago for work via train, then need to walk 5 blocks after that to my office. I’m definitely seriously considering this instead of an e-scooter due to how portable it is and I can easily transport it on the train and under my desk at the office

[@MobilityGhost]

It's fun and coll this Honda device. Please tell us what's the name of that mobile phone holder you're using. Thanks.

[@Surge_Sully]

Needs a nice RPB wrap! Can't wait to ride it!

[@RunPlayBack]

Do a wheelie!

[@MilouTintin]

Since there's additional cargo area, I would think Honda would allow plugging in an auxiliary battery for more range. 12 miles can be a little limiting...

[@markzanetti6228]

can you wheel it around closed and just guiding it with the suitcase handle?

[@RunPlayBack]

Kinda but its a little awkward because its so low to the ground

[@lauzihong7663]

My 1st start issue,Battery was full but pull throttle the moto cant move..what the problem of my motocompacto?

[@CalebBoender]

Are you in mode 1 or mode 2? When you first turn it on it automatically goes into mode 1. Mode one is a lower top speed and will not move unless you physically give it a push start. Mode 2 unlocks the top speed and it will go from a stop. And to change modes it’s just double press the power button

[@ElectricCreature]

where do I buy

[@Fixin-To]

I came here after seeing Hert’s short, then a Herz Van comes past. It’s meant to be.

[@SF_Curious]

Honda name has a great heritage! Therefore I feel this doesn’t live up to the heritage as Honda could have made something WAY BETTER

[@Kunfucious577]

If it’s extremely dependable like all of Honda products, I feel it will slowly become a household product.

[@receiving9067]

I mean it's only a 300w motor, going uphill it's gonna struggle. I'm trying to buy one now to use at work

[@user-yo9re8ll5l]

How tall are you?

[@genie4539]

If the battery range was just about 3 miles more, I'd consider it. But the range just falls short for my office commute. They won't allow ebikes inside or let them charge them for safety reasons

[@sound2loud]

Safety reasons always is an excuse. They are safe to charge so that is unfortunate.

[@MilouTintin]

@@sound2loud Unless you're talking about plugging them in to a cubicle socket which is on a long circuit and not designed for multiple battery chargers drawing amperage.

[@Dan-fw2db]

Okay that thing is sick, I'm about 5'5" so size shouldn't be an issue then

[@JustLikeParadise]

Just got the call to pick it up and I am excited to try it. I don't need it as I have a few ICE and electric toys. Just had to have it.

[@RunPlayBack]

Nice enjoy the ride!

[@JustLikeParadise]

Thanks!

[@Toyrapy]

@@JustLikeParadise please share your experience…

[@JustLikeParadise]

It fun for a last few mile stored in the trunk. Excellent build quality but it has destroyed my Buns and back. 🤪

[@vulcandawg7623]

mans is riding a credit card

[@mandp3328]

Does it require the app to ride?

[@RunPlayBack]

Nope!

[@SupraHenry]

The old one is definitely better IMO. But this is pretty cool for small around town stuff I suppose

[@captainmeow2771]

Wouldnt it be cheaper just to buy a regular bicycle?

[@thatguynico]

You keep mentioning you can’t imagine anyone bigger than you on it. Would you mind sharing your height/weight? That would help a bunch! Thanks

[@RunPlayBack]

Sure! I mean I was exaggerating a bit! There's a quick shot of one of my friend's whose about 6'1" or 6'2" and he was able to ride it fine. Weight capacity is about 265 lbs. It's just a super small scooter so mileage will vary on how comfortable it would be for various riders of all sizes especially on uneven terrain. Like for me, I rode it through my city in bike lanes. And without suspension and a hard seat it was pretty rough by the time I got back home. But smooth roads and short distances should be fine for most.

[@thatguynico]

@@RunPlayBack nice!!! Thanks for the feedback and reply. Definitely looking forward to trying one out.

[@uzaircreative]

It looks like a gigantic MICRO SD card adapter plus that looks like a PS5

Moto honest compacto review

[@samus4799]

It’s fuckin cool, okay?

[@JoseCarlos-eg6nl]

You're better off just getting a go track scooter

[@LulzRoyce]

Bro is in full motorcycle gear blazing by at 10mph 😅

[@RunPlayBack]

That's a bike helmet whatchu talkin bout? 😂

[@stevelouie5928]

This is basically a heavier less compact stand up scooter. Nice toy but not really an improvement. Better of with a Jetson Bolt pro if you like modding your toys.

[@sideburnsco.9531]

I hit 25 in mine then the dash stops working

[@JoseCarlos-eg6nl]

I'd rather get a go tracks

[@TakiTky]

For now it looks rather useless -- as the last mile transport it takes too much effort to fold and unfold, and for something more adventurous (let's say going to the hiking route entrance which is 1-2h walk from the station) is not suitable because of the range & lack of suspension. Another question is how it handles non-flat roads... performance and safety wise... quiet common in Japan so I guess Honda thought about it?

[@RunPlayBack]

Anything that isn't a smooth surface would be very uncomfortable.

moto honest compacto review honda

[@Mryodamiles]

I'm planning to get this. My only dislike is that the unfolding and folding process is a little more time consuming than I like.

[@hamburglar710]

I have 1 and after like 10 or so folds i can now open in in 30 seconds or less

[@JarstonBrowley]

Waste of money considering you can get fast, lighter, and more distance at half that price

[@connoronan4586]

What do you recommend over it?

[@laryangel4082]

Ll

[@billywonka2469]

Looks like a PlayStation

[@pernicious.]

This thing sucks really but glad a toddler can enjoy it 😂

[@deltivan]

Fold it and throw it in the dumpster.

[@landonheinberg]

Literally a scooter with a box around it. Dumbest thing ever

[@RunPlayBack]

I hear ya. But there's a few others things I would classify as "Dumbest Thing Ever" before this though.

[@madogblue]

very silly device

[@user-ct6hw7yv9v]

Ok Dark Vador

[@RunPlayBack]

Clever. How long did it take you to come up with that?

[@leonheart7576]

How tall are you?

[@RunPlayBack]

5'5"

[@leonheart7576]

@@RunPlayBack thank you, I can guess the ratio of the bike and me. Thank you again.
