The Honda Motocompo is a folding scooter sold by Honda between 1981 and 1983 as a factory add-on only in Japan. It was the smallest scooter ever produced by Honda and it folded into a rectangle for easy storage. Released in Shetland White, Daisy Yellow and Caribbean Red variants, the Motocompo was introduced as a "trunk bike" (トランクバイク / トラバイ, toranku baiku / tora-bai) to fit inside subcompact cars like the Honda Today and the (then new) Honda City; it was inspired from the World War II-era British Welbike folding motorcycle. The City's baggage compartment was specifically developed around the Motocompo, which was sold as a factory add-on and not sold separately.The handlebars, seat, and foot-pegs fold into the scooter's rectangular plastic body to present a clean, box-shaped package of 1,185 mm × 240 mm × 540 mm (46.7 in × 9.4 in × 21.3 in). It is the smallest scooter ever built by Honda. The company's initial monthly sales projection for the domestic market was 8,000 City and 10,000 Motocompo. The City surpassed its targets, but in all only 53,369 Motocompos were sold by the end of production in 1983 (no more than 3,000 per month).The scooter was marketed in conjunction with the City in television ads featuring British ska/2-tone band Madness.

I feel like this idea could work in modern setting with batteries. Everyone is already sipping around in electric scooters but I feel sitting on a seat provides better stability than standing on a slim board.
