Blasphemous watching you pull your Honda 🛵 out of your Toyota 🏎 which is powered by BMW 🚗

[@mikejames6588]

globalization wins.....

[@jhonrock2386]

Lol!!!!! Haram!!!

[@XMcBainXUSA]

Globalism

[@bobbymoss6160]

Reported for blasphemy indeed.

[@Luke-qs2cg]

These are solid for what they are, but they compare most to escooters in the 500$ and under range and that hurts it ALOT. If it went 20mph for 20 miles it would be significantly more competitive. As it is, it's a novelty, not really something useful.

[@SweetKingTanner]

This is niche. You know it’s niche. It’s not meant to be a scooter for everybody.

[@Luke-qs2cg]

@@SweetKingTanner even if it's "niche" what's the niche and who is in it? Either way, my comment stands regardless of it being "niche" or not.

[@Deadguy2322forreal]

*a lot Two words.

[@CricketEngland]

They should have just got a Honda Cub and driven that in and left the car at home.

[@linklickz]

500 and under? more like 300 and under

[@Lightnin100]

I think the real winner is the quality from your clip on microphone. That windshield is doing its job admirably.

[@Andrew-ky8oc8cq4n]

Large flat side......he should sticker it up with anime stuff.

[@YoRAHeem]

Denki DBrand Exclusive Link in Description. 😂

[@johnkelley7543]

I just took a shit. I should make it look like anime stuff.

[@bobbymoss6160]

As if the rolling briefcase isn't dorky enough...

[@EcclecticNerd]

Had mine for a few months and have used it for zipping around car shows, short trips as well as a 20+ mile day trip. The lack of suspension is definitely my main complaint especially with how rough the roads, paths, and sidewalks are here in Hawaii. Recently picked up an aftermarket seat post and it really makes a difference being able to mount a large spring seat to help soften the ride.

[@carmenmorris9549]

Where did you get your aftermarket seat?

[@omnimater]

Ken made this video just to flex the supra

[@telmomoreira7616]

Its always good to see a well kept stock Z4.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

That thing looks like it's straight out of the 70's.

[@WatamelonUberSheep]

I think its a nice vehicle for campus life where you may park quite a long distance from the building you're heading for and need to travel a pretty far between classes. This also aplies to some workplace environments.

[@awesomex1031]

I went to a car show earlier in the year, and they had a demo/giveaway for it. It was pretty fun, though I did not win it.

[@networkg]

I would invest in some seriously thick memory foam seat covers.

[@CricketEngland]

Should have got the “Luggie Scooter” or a “Honda Cub” and driven in all the way

[@robo1000]

I’d use it as a pit bike at an autocross or track day. The size is perfect, unfolding isnt an issue if it’s just part of unloading for the day. I don’t think it’s meant for daily use with the issues you mentioned, but to do a sighting lap on a race track or autocross course, seems perfect.

[@DNKI]

100% why we wanted one in the office LMAO

[@myaccount__7269]

Okay but a $300 scooter is lighter…faster…folds up easier…cheaper….etc . This is a gimmick

[@ien2023]

Love the compact size but there's nothing suitcase about it. I have a real different suitcase scooter and I love it.

[@Hecto356]

I feel like this has more of a cool and novelty factor. With the specs it has only having a 12mile range and can only get to a top speed of 10 miles an hour it’s definitely not worth a grand. This seems like it should coast in the range of 3 to 500 dollars tops for the specs it does have. If it had like a range of 20 miles and a top speed of like 22 miles an hour I could see it being close being in that 1000 dollar price range!

[@burhanbudak6041]

The old 80s looks so good

[@geneshock4729]

Never forget to mention your sports car lol

[@KyleKick909]

It's maybe $500 cool. At a $1000 you're getting into duel motor territory. $1400 you can get full suspension 60v 6000w 50 mph hyper scooter.

[@heyojayo8642]

The '83 compo and the '24 compo Its like WALL:E vs E.V.E 😂 I still like the akira toriyama-esque '83 compo style imho. For anyone wanting that '83 future retro style but with modern electronics search out the Katalis Spacebar ❤

[@jamesng40]

"You're Under Arrest" Anime features the Moto Compo. It looked like it was a fun ride too, though 92 lbs is a bit much to lug around

[@James-sir]

Apparently you’ve never owned a black vehicle they show dirt way worse then white or silver

[@NextNate03]

I was thinking just that.

[@Rohirin]

This reminds me of what the sidekick characters from a Saturday Morning cartoon would ride. Definitely neat, but the seat would be a deal breaker for me.

[@Drewcardello]

You would be absolutely crazy to take that thing at 20mph. The wheels are small and wheelbase is too short for high speeds.

[@Thomas-VA]

If it came in stainless steel, you could easily store in the flat bed of your cybertruck, sorry, the office's cybertruck

[@DNKI]

we're not stupid enough to buy that thing lmao

[@AmazingOmosa]

He kept mentioning in the back of my sport car

[@Jeannemarre]

Is THAT A SUPRA !!! Nice car man

[@gabrielbumanglag3303]

Man I was waiting for him to mention the You're Under Arrest anime reference that features the MCs' Motocompo and the partner City.

[@Fellzu]

Same. Fantastic show

[@therealrealshocker]

Imagine towing this around with a Cybertruck! 🤖

[@n0tlance314]

This would be amazing for car shows.

[@Dr.Wuffles]

Lectric sells a Folding e-bike that is the same size, same weight and has a 45 mile range at 20 mph for 799. This is junk with a Honda label on it. Its a cool novelty, but if you are looking for a solution with a similar form factor that will do a similar job for a decent price, most jackknife style electric scooters or budget folding e bikes will do the same thing for less with an all metal frame and far more comfortably. Honestly with the size and industry standards for manufacturing I am shocked Honda has the nuts to ask a grand for something it's competitors are requesting 3-5 hundred for.

[@baitboy3191]

Did anyone at honda actually test this thing outside their work campus? Have they even rode on the average city sidewalk?

[@CricketEngland]

I’ll guessing it’s not road legal and would take up to much room on most American sidewalks

[@LouisSubearth]

​@CricketEngland it's an e-bike, so no it's not street legal

[@FriedChairs]

Get this and a Cybertruck. You can drive a triangle and rectangle.

[@artvertex4152]

Well... It works as intended. Not cheap but not exactly wasted I think.

[@ren1819]

I saw one the other day... the rider was casually riding down the street. It looks like fun.

[@pooliomaster7789]

A "cab" company started up in my area using these... Drunk at the bar, don't want to leave your car? Call them and a "driver" would show up on a briefcase bike, custom built from 49cc pocket rockets. They'd fold it up, put in your trunk and drive you home, then ride back to their hub. Dunno what happened to them

[@treynolds94]

I just picked up the Izip commuter from Canadian Tire last night for $429 will be able to save that in gas over a summer taking this to work, been ripping around the neighborhood cant wait to rip to work on it rather then having to drive my truck use gas for a literally 3 min drive.

[@dephataznboi]

This would pay $300 max on this. Most scooters in the $300 area can go as fast as 20mph & have greater range.

[@mattbuffo9967]

nice bmw in the background

[@gstevens6948]

🤣🤣

[@carmenmorris9549]

Very fun, thank you. I rode mine at the beach last week, had a ball 😊

[@chaxologist2024]

Its a mall/airport scooter! Convenient usage for mall security and police and/or people with disabilities who need to cover vast distances indoors such as a mega mall! Otherwise, just get a Fluid Mosquito scooter for the ultraportable last-mile solution!

[@NextNate03]

Mall? Probably will get kicked out. Airport? Battery is to big. Battery has to be less than 100 watts to fly on a airplane. *Edit* Is way to fast to be used in a mall. Most of the mobility scooters has a top speed of 4 miles per hour. That is roughly walking speed.

[@DuneRunnerEnterprises]

I think, that's time to upgrade has come. And a first thing,you should do, it's re-paint it,as a suitcase, leather one. Then + suspension,and the sit.

[@panospapadimitriou3498]

i found the perfect colour combo.... the CBR tt legends 3colore style . !!! why not ?

[@thebaccathatchews]

That looks like it should be a public use vehicle for large establishments: airports, malls, stadiums, etc.

[@charliesretrocomputing]

Maybe if it was a bit cheaper...

[@sharonb.9128]

Wonder why they didn’t even offer a suspension seat? With a lot of e-bikes, you can go in settings and “unlock” more speed. It might be possible here too!

[@raidenout1515]

Should have got a Navi. Although it’s probably awesome for senior citizens.

[@SweetKingTanner]

That guy in the parking lot really wanted to ride it.

[@Ottobon]

Silver metallic option would look good and hide dirt better then anything

[@ahwhite2022]

I saw this some months ago at my local Hinds dealer. I still don't understand. Comfort would be the only advantage for sitting down vice standing up... and it doesn't seem to offer that.

[@UnfitToLive]

Not sure I'd put an expensive laptop or phone in the tray with that ride quality.. 😅

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

OUCH MY BALLS!😢

[@Lou-T-Fisk]

All I can say is the super is such a beautiful car. I know not everyone likes the new one but I am a fan I am happy every time I see one

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

i really don't think Denki ''wasted'' any money on this , when i am sure HONDA was pretty happy about sending him a review unit....and maybe a car to use in this video ? not judging, just wondering a bit.

[@UnfitToLive]

I think the folded form-factor is the only aspect I see as a plus.

[@stevegonzales527]

"i" aka austins credit card lol

[@matejmazur191]

Wasted is right!

[@andiiramii2775]

That’s dope I live close by. At first I thought that was a rubbermaid table lol😅

[@Bod8998]

Didn't Austin already buy this

[@DNKI]

it's almost like this channel is part of the company

[@la3692]

With the shape of the body you can just have it wrapped ,very interesting..!

[@ddzang]

You are a true “pioneer”! 😂

[@Andreasytac]

This is certainly one of the products of all time.

[@ZolinSith]

How is that only $1000?? I'd pay way more for something like this if I could afford something like this 🎉😂

[@caseys_cozy_garage]

This scooter is adorable!

[@busterhoodstar6598]

$399-$499 is a more palatable price point. $1,000 is just too much for what it isn't.

[@Che1seabluesdrogba11]

Clean Supra

[@LelandHasGames]

It would be perfect if it had suspension. Or maybe just a better seat

[@epiphany6033]

Why? The NUI Air weighs 26lbs, goes 20mph, 31 miles range and smaller for $950.

[@Jiangcool9]

Honestly look really good. Prices of good scooters are around $600-$1200, so I think it justified in price.

[@NathanMatthews.]

Looks goofy though

[@l_burn]

You can get a decent scooter that goes faster and farther for $200-$300.

[@NextNate03]

It's overpriced for the specs.

[@Shabeaky_Ownz]

You barrowed it lol you didn’t pay $1000 for it

[@bwc1976]

So cute! I'd rather have the original 80's version with the 50cc gas engine though.

[@leemires5315]

@bwc1976 The original Motocompo scooter is $3K to 5K though and that's if you can find one.

[@chemj0e2003]

jeremy clarkson made 1! rode it through an airport

[@SweetKingTanner]

He races Richard Hammond if I’m not mistaken

[@CricketEngland]

He also crashed it and knocked and old man over and didn’t even stop to help

[@charliesretrocomputing]

@@CricketEngland really? that's sad 😢

[@ShookD]

LOL Cool little video, but what happened to the tall gangly guy with the glasses? Did you let him go? Well nice video anyways. Dank you.

[@la3692]

There is a custom seat that's more comfortable and has Springs in it to absorb😅 7:19

[@alhkcblack9617]

For $1000 it needs to go at least 30mph have suspension and a huge battery in the needlessly big looking case.

[@voteDC]

I'd check the drone camera. It seems to be ignoring your baseball cap.

[@MissionSilo]

What if I want an actual electrical scooter?

[@garystinten9339]

Find a seat thats spring loaded

[@AnthonyELombardi]

Style? Clearly, you don't have any if you think that useless machine has style

[@quebertdehelper2783]

I want it so bad

[@suberatasuut3778]

No spring man its gotta hurt

[@Itsbapechris]

give it a dbrand skin

[@RayVi5ions]

This video is a pretty advertisement for an EUC

[@NextNate03]

Not really. EUC is Electric Unicycle.

[@RayVi5ions]

@@NextNate03 yup, but all the benefits of this transfer to an EUC, but better. They are more portable, longer ranger, more power, and for a grand you can get a Begode A2 that goes 24mph and a realistic 30 mile range while also being smaller

[@SB-KNIGHT]

This thing is a "nostalga product". I have a Jetson Nano e-bike that costs less than half of this and its got more range and is more comfy to ride. Honestly though it looks neat, its Honda, I doubt they sold a lot of these things so w/e. Cool little novelty but not practical.

[@pbrock669]

You need to check out Bikes and Beards on this same thing he did something really cool with his

[@AyaanThwainyAlThinine]

holy shit bro is rich

[@nothoughtsheadempty6220]

I understand the limitations of having to abide by regulations as a large company, but I feel like they could have done a better job designing this. There are many ebikes and escooters that outdo this thing for less. My 30lb ride fits in my backpack and outpaces as well as outlasts this thing for the same price.

[@beegchunguz7425]

When you think about it theres an imbalance of price, battery range, weight, and practicality. If it were half the price and weight, it would make sense with the range. Otherwise, it is bulky awkward and heavy, and barely would make sense, because I would leave it somewhere Id have to settle for or would think is safe, and lo and behold, someone steals it.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

I appreciate the compact folding design, but for $1000, you can a better e scooter or e-bike with more range, more power and speed. 15mph top speed and 12 miles of range is really bad for $1000.

[@Guyjharrison]

this, and many more reasons, is why I've always loved the Japanese

[@James-sir]

There’s gotta be a way to make it faster

[@adamw9764]

If this thing was half the price and had a bit more speed (like a top speed of 35-30mph) then I could see it selling extremely well. Seeing it for 1000 dollars, while a great design, is just too much for what you get.

[@sorinstefan6038]

Is that a xiaomi scooter stuck in a white box?

[@Dany2001bro]

Ok but does it have vtec ?

[@iCancelFlights]

you'll see one occasionally at the car meets. the real question is does the supra put down power

[@chemj0e2003]

thats not a supra, its a bmw

[@iCancelFlights]

@@chemj0e2003 classic b58

[@robertschnobert9090]

I like it

[@Wimmle]

I love it 😍

[@ezg8448]

I'm more curious as to why this thing is 42 pounds? It feels like over-engineering to me, especially when a typical electric scooter is faster, lasts a bit longer, has suspension, and 1/2 the weight, though less compact.

[@xxx-lq7ho]

I like this if im buy ill mod seat and add bag strap so can put in back

[@CrosswaIk]

It's got style??

[@Nissan350Zable]

Is DaT a SuPrA?!

See guys, this is a Honda. All those other cheap Chinese scooters will need parts very soon and you wont be able to fibd them.
