This is a great review. This has been my exact experience with my own Motocompacto. Totally on point about the positives of the Honda nameplate and portability.

One of the best reviews on KZbin, especially showing the rough ride. The only mistake I could find in the video was your comment about the odometer in the app. The odometer in the app is extremely accurate. It reads in 10ths, so when it shows you went 708 miles, you had actually gone 70.8 miles. Either ride your car two miles out and two miles back, or use GPS, and then repeat the ride with the Motocompacto, and you will see that the Motocompacto odometer measures the mileage exactly. Please do the test before replying to let me know if you agree, or correct me if I am wrong. I have four of them, so agree that it is a shame that the ride is so rough. 6 miles out of the box is unexplainable. I wonder what your Motocompacto was doing before you bought it. 70 miles is a lot of Motocompacto riding, so you must be pretty sore.. LOL

I'll give that a try this week! The fact that it was wrong out of the box leads me to believe there is still something wrong with how it is tracked, but hopefully it is something as simple as a decimal conversion issue.

@@triptheroad I hear you, but it wasn't wrong out of the box. Please provide an update after you complete your odometer testing.. thanks.

I absolutely LOVE this thing, if only they'd release it in the EU
@triptheroad5 ай бұрын
I feel like they might, biggest problem here in the US is people can't get them fast enough, so it's hard to gauge how much people like them. Demand is still overwhelming Honda though so that is a good sign!

If Honda can figure out a way to add a small suspension system or dampen the ride somehow by adding a shock absorber (even to just the seat would suffice), then I'm sold.

It would probably actually be easy to make a suspension seat post, maybe I'll make it a video project!

You mentioned DC metro. Me and some homies are doing a motocompacto race around the 7.2 mile scenic drive loop of Prince William Forest Park. We're calling it the türdburgring. If you want in I can send you the details.

I'm considering buying one of these to bring to large car show events that my family and I attend throughout the summer. Some shows are so big you can rent 4-wheel scooters at the event, but I'm thinking maybe I buy one of these to stick in the truck of our classic car. My main concern is how long the battery will last throughout the day. In the past when we have rented scooters at the events you may do 2-3 large laps around the events and everyone takes turns using it. Any insight on how long the battery lasts before needing to recharge? And is it possible to recharge one of these with a power bank?
@triptheroad3 ай бұрын
I'm planning to take it to Carlisle this year. I've found battery life to depend primarily on distance driven, it doesn't use much power while stationary. I would think you could easily get at least three large laps in at a show like Carlisle on a single charge.

@@Fatgumby Thank you for this. It's reassuring to know it can be used by us who are disabled with a little modification. If you don't mind, would you share where you found your seat cushion?
