The Honda Hot Hatch That Gives Birth To A Motorcycle | Jason Drives

[@aaronbays4]

Man you have to love the enthusiasm and hubris of the Japan bubble era cars. Tiny hatchback with its own scooter and "Hyper Turbo" graphics, seems like something straight out of some sci-fi anime series.

[@GiulioImparato]

I love that 80's tech filled positivism. everybody wanted to sell you THE FUTURE.

Now they wanna sell us bullcrap

[@ooglefluffg857]

The Motocompo is an absolutely genius idea. I can imagine so many scenarios where it would be super useful. Just the other day I had to take my only car in for a service, and couldn't do anything but sit in a nearby Starbucks for several hours until it was finished. If my car could just poop out a little scooter whenever I wanted, I could go home and hang out or even run some errands or something.

[@martinmartin5904]

Just put a bicycle in the trunk of your car and it's do the same

[@davidhollenshead4892]

Great Idea, having gasoline spilling in the back of your car, F-ing Brillant...

[@AnasSuhaimi]

Just buy an electric monobike

[@RiddSann]

The small electric van used for filming road stuff is totally amazing and should be seen in another episode !

[@DVSEquarican]

Honda should bring back this concept, it would be awesome to have a scooter in the Fit or HR-V, or any other honda ride for that matter, I guess I just want a motor scooter in the back of the ride.

[@davidhollenshead4892]

So when your shitty Honda breaks, you can have another smaller shitty Honda break on you a second time ???

[@Wheelnut78]

My Honda Grom fits easily in my VW Caddy. Was thinking about finding a Honda Van with wheelchair access (and colour code them) to really keep the concept alive.

[@petebike]

I was 12 years old when this car came out. I begged my parents to get one so that I could ride the mini-bike. Thanks for the memories!

[@AridersLifeYT]

2 things, The Turbo City never had the motorcompo as a factory option it was just the City /City-R. its also not a motorcycle its a Scooter. Regards, a guy who has 4 motocompos and a city. Also Honda Japan didn't want to make the City turbo, Hirotoshi designed it so well as a side project that Honda RND decided to release them as Turbo and Turbo II bulldog. Hirotoshi then went onto make mugen after he was inspred with the City turbo and the Turbo II bulldog.

[@Teggymania]

BikeStuff 4 motocompos and a city. Wow.

[@cultusmechanicus8001]

and as a Scooter Lover i must ask ....does Malossi make parts for them :D

[@AridersLifeYT]

its a variation of a QR50 and another 50cc scooter engine. most just swap the engine or do custom parts.

[@AridersLifeYT]

i have made a video of them on my main channel, Ariderslife

[@DaDude999]

Totally agree with the last statement. Companies should cool stuff like that. It’s special and sets it appart.

[@andryxa1p845]

I gotta say though, that’s seriously one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Honda should revive this by modifying the Grom to fit in one of their new cars.

[@windoak2113]

Or they could remake the express

[@kurthuscko6084]

I wish they would go back to it , I’d buy it...scooter looks awesome

[@DexDexD3x]

Kei cars will always hold a special place in my heart tbh

[@AlbertoDsign]

The motocompo should divide into a small skate for those times when you can´t ride the motorbike neither

[@653j521]

I wonder how many stages we could fit into this thing. Hoverboard, maybe? Is the small skate the one wheel inside shoes? :) For when you want to go up stairs?

[@DriversSide]

This is such a good series! The motorcycle is a genius option!!!

[@johnhahn987]

Smart Marketing for Honda and deserves a reboot. Very Cool!

[@jackferris1805]

I bloody Love this car!!!!

[@fedesalva5074]

A super subcompact city car with its own little motorcycle inside. An old "high tech" dream. Love it!

[@cartmanrlsusall]

That scooter is genius an electric version that charges from the car would be a winner

[@cartmanrlsusall]

an adult wouldn't have a problem lifting it out of the car

[@NOUSERNAMESLEFTFUUCK]

Are you somehow forgetting that adult's range in genders and in sizes?

[@Pyrex_lex]

What was that car next to him on the road

[@wyattarthur5275]

lexXx1005 wondering the same thing it was pretty strange

[@SRSvictor]

lexXx1005 I did a google image search for "100% electric small van",since i saw "100% electric" written on the side of it,and it looks like it's something called a Mia L. A small electric french-made van.

[@Shyzah]

lexXx1005 a piece of shit no one cares about

[@Emppu_T.]

Odd chinese electric minivan

[@ThirteenMatt]

Being French I actually new that thing (Came accross it a few times at the Geneva auto show), and when I saw this I was amazed because: 1- someone actually bought this thing 2- that person is accross the atlantic!

[@jus1029ph]

0:41 Is that a Polestar C30 I see?!

[@Berchol]

Hawkeye lol

[@STho205]

If you love this idea, you can easily do it to your hatchback today. Cheap tiny EV bikes with signals that are 35kmh 25mph able will easily fit in even a Civic or CRV cargo area.

[@stephenswift8001]

Very cute, clever and 80’s! I love both the car and the bike!

[@synretro]

Why do I actually want all of this now. I’m a huge 80s car fanboy and this thing just screams 80s

[@EcoSpeeder]

This tiny Car + built in 'last mile' concept is way ahead of it's time.

Jason you need those ww1 fighter pilot hat and goggles, thanks for some lockdown blues therapy , bravo.

[@buckorooster]

I love how this series is back

[@JerelNixon]

Factory options include a motorcycle in the trunk !? Now that is cool! 😎👍

[@_chan.burn.21_]

I would love to own a City R with a Motocompo, that would be one hell of a combo and would get lots of attention at the local car shows near me.

[@DONphantasmo]

This might be the best video on youtube!!!!!!!

[@p.clarke8019]

My dad's first car was a 1986 non turbo one of these imported from Japan I loved it as a kid it didn't have the bike aswel but was an unusual car very reliable never gave any problems always thought I'd find one one day and restore it but here in Ireland I haven't seen one on the road in over 20 years they're extremely rare

[@izzywashington5465]

This deserves more views!

[@spinal_capped]

Only thing better than this would be a 1985/86 Honda City Turbo II "Bulldog" with the widebody!! :D

[@TheRealAlpha2]

For me, the Honda City will always be the car from that old game _City Connection_ that made me want a small hatch back, and the Motocompo will always be that little moped from the Anime/Manga _You're Under Arrest_ (which actually also featured a City but the bike stood out most.)

[@GrussimoGarage]

Love those motocompo's. You can find them from importers, however they are usually a couple thou.....

[@EvanMoon]

Check out mighty car mods (MCM) there episode where they try out two of these scooters. These guys are in Australia and they are all about Japanese cars

[@howardroark3895]

yea i was going to say that MCM has already done a segment about these.

[@AridersLifeYT]

i sold MCM those Motocompos :-D

[@chrisb3437]

The bike/car package is great for the city.. You find a tiny parking spot which is still hard to do in the city so it may not be close to your destination (work) so to get there in the rush, you whip out the bike. Me personally, i'd use it to go to the store real quick or to meet up friends who dont live really far, but you dont wanna walk for 15mins.

[@du315h0k]

I know this is an older video but I would like to know more about the tiny electric van at 1:20 and 2:05 .

[@questioner1596]

I bought a couple folding bicycles with 20" wheels, and one fits in the cargo area of my subcompact hatch and one fits on one side of the back seat. It allows us to park our car and take the bike paths. You can buy electric folding bikes too.

[@valhallakustom5307]

The motocompo is like driving a little smile

[@653j521]

Awww, thank you for that thought.

[@SofaKing85]

Oil light on a 2 stroke is an interesting option

[@wawiairsoft]

Jason Calabro 2 stroke mopeds don’t run premix they have separate tanks

[@tboHammu]

It's for the autolube system, so you do not run out of oil and seize the engine. (oh was I late)

[@MrManniG]

Walker Wilkinson you may add there are also Mopeds that run on premix, in Eastern Germany we even still have some Gas Stations selling Premix gas (mostly in the more "rural" areas)

[@MyFabian94]

It's a Super Cub Engine, it's 4 Stroke.

[@tboHammu]

No it's not. A Cub has gears, this has CVT

[@RyanSargent]

What was the camera car!?

[@disposablebasterd]

I loved the anime you’re under arrest, the officers in it used one of these with the bike.

[@electronichillbilly2818]

There it is that little black van in back ground shots and i notice it 100% electric. Please i need to know maybe do a video on it please

[@jimmyj1969]

This car was imported in Europe too, as "Honda Jazz", never a big seller though...

[@saulingng5739]

You should show more footage of the city turbo itself. There's already plenty of videos out there about the motocompo but the t1 is much more uncommon. Plus only the regaulr cities came with the motocompo as an option from factory.

[@joshriver75]

The only place I've ever seen this is on the game gran turismo. It was one of the cars used in the beginning of the game for basic maneuverability testing. Had no idea about the little motorcycle tho. Neat stuff

[@ZemplinTemplar]

Now I know where Nolan got the idea for the Batpod originating from the Tumbler. ;-))
