Honda should market these to boaters. They'll be great to throw on the boat since they're so small, light, "clean" (no gas to store, spill or smell), and can be "refueled" with solar power from the boats solar/electric system. Carry an international power adapter set, and you can charge them if needed while sight-seeing on land at most marinas in developed nations.

Flop, because they are still thinking of these things as car accesories, not vehicles in their own right. These would be perfect for the European urban youth. A vehicle that can bypass traffic and parking because it is slow, light and clean enough to pass as a bicycle is more useful to us than a car. We don't have garages or large wallets, so something that fits in an elevator and doesn't take up much place in an apartment is perfect. Trust me, I have a full sized scooter in my one room apartment and it sucks. I'd much rather downgrade to this thing if it was available for sale in my country.

That's *almost* an impulse buy. And yeah, I know you can get a whole lot of bicycle for $1k these days. But a little runabout that I can toss in my trunk, or take to my desk at work, and costs about 10 cents to fully recharge? That's *really* tempting! Also! It's cute. It's quirky. It's classic Honda WEIRD. And that's what I appreciates about them.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@terrycruise-zd5twagreed, there is Lectric XP 3.0 for $999 which is a lot better for the same price, more power, higher top speed, more range, better suspension, and you get free accessories like bike lock, phone mount, elite headlight, and suspension seat post, and Lectric as a brand is just as reliable as Honda. For the spec and power, they should just price it at $495, at $995, it is double the price of what it’s worth.

Great video, too funny, I love the editing. I hope Honda is going to find it's quality manufacturing again, it is a shame when the knock off Honda small motors are more reliable than a Honda motor, ( lawnmowers) For me a small electric bike I would just get the one at Costco for 400 bucks, I see them around and they seem to do the job. I no longer commute. But I think you should have a race between one of these E-Bikes and that lady from Austin riding the food robot. Now that would be a hoot. Or maybe cut that in one of your videos it would be too funny.

Was hoping for at least a 25mph scooter with at least 30mi range, that would make it a fun yet affordable scooter that is still legal under e-bike specs. Maybe they can reduce the cost of the existing one to about $750 and make the more potent model at about $1250, I might buy the more potent model.

It's called a bike, but it doesn't look like a bike since it doesn't have pedals. Since it's not a "bike", it would be banned from my local multiuse paved trails forcing me to ride it in the bike lane. With the limited speed and range, and having to ride it in the bike lane, I'd opt for a 50cc scooter. It does look funky cool, but doesn't fit my uses/needs.

It looks cool and has some Apple-style design so people will buy it, but there are better options out there considering speed, range, and a suspension system in the same price range.

Are these even legal anywhere yet? In eu a 'powered' vehicle is not legal. Elec scooters are everywhere even though they're not legal. But with Honda on board, im sure the laws will change. Good its slow. The 40kph scooters a really dangerous, kids and adults zipping on paths and across roads with no caution have caused many near misses etc.

Quebec, Canada recently made these kind of escoots legal on public roads as long as max speed is less than 16mph (25kph).

@@noseboop4354 Far less problem with them if they are speed restricted, (16mph still fast enough, maybe too fast) but the ones that can do 40+kph are so dangerous for pedestrians, and car drivers, to remain uninsured vehicles. Can't count the number of near misses/ stories of near misses and injuries etc. Love the concept and with proper infrastructure/ regulations they make so much sense.

I'm in Rural Florida, not the Urban spots like Miami. I have zero usage for this scooter so sucks. It needs like 5 more MPH, double-triple the range to be worthwhile for me.

These are hot garbage, a little slower? try less than half as fast; a bone stock Motocompo tops out at 25-30 mph, this TrashCompacto tops out at 12 mph. Sad. They are cashing in on ignorant people that don't know what they're buying. Just get a class 3 ebike that will go as fast as a motocompo and save yourself a few bucks.

The point is that you can modify them, unlike Apple, Honda loves the aftermarket and the aftermarket REALLY loves Honda. If you give it a few months people will 100% be buying these and doing crazy builds with more power and a fast top speed etc etc, the point in Honda’s simplistic design is to make the Motocompacto a cheap but well built blank canvas that can be used by everyone from older people around town or for younger students at college, not to mention the massive enthusiast communities behind Honda cars and bikes.

flop, massive flop, I predict at least 6-7 people will buy one but everyone else isn't going to give it the time of day and for good reason: range is 12 miles (assuming you are on a perfectly flat and level surface for those 12 miles, which realistically is not going to happen)- looks nothing like the original motocompo (which is what gave it its charm) and looks like a fuckin suitcase, totally disappointing. And the fact that there is so much empty space on this thing that isn't used just doesn't seem right. They could have done way better for cheaper and why they decided not to is anyones guess.
