Honda Motocompacto E Scooter 1

Honda has unveiled the Motocompacto – the latest model in the electric scooter industry. This quirky and interesting e-scooter stands out from others in its class, thanks to the way it combines vintage style with contemporary technology. The Honda Motocompo was a folding scooter, which gained popularity in the 1980s and serves as the inspiration for the Motocompacto. The new version is fitted with an all-electric motor, unlike its predecessor. This scooter is sure to draw attention everywhere it goes. Although the brand-new Motocompacto borrows from the past, it still has a design that seems to have been taken out of a sci-fi movie set. Needless to say, the internet is going crazy over its out-of-the-world design. Interestingly, it can be compressed into a small suitcase-like shape. When unfolded, the vehicle has a seat, a handlebar, and footpegs. Along with lights at the front and back, there is even a side stand. Here's all that you need to know about this new sensation in town.

The Honda Motocompacto is a groundbreaking innovation that transcends the traditional limitations of range and performance. It can be quite useful in large campuses, workplaces, industrial hubs, urban centres, and tourist destinations, making it an ideal solution for final-mile commuting.

In its rideable configuration, the Honda Motocompacto has compact dimensions, measuring just 968mm in length, 437mm in width, and 889mm in height. This represents a significant reduction in size compared to Honda's initial Motocompo scooter. Honda recommends the simplest way to store the Motocompacto when not in use is by conveniently stowing it in the trunk of a car, showcasing its exceptional portability.

Notably, Honda's engineering teams in Ohio and California collaborated to bring this innovative scooter to life.

Honda Motocompacto: Mechanical Details

Powered by a 490-watt electric motor, with 16Nm of torque, the Motocompacto has a top speed of 24km/h and a 6.8Ah battery pack, which, the brand claims offers a range of 19 kilometres. The scooter comes with an onboard charger, which, when plugged into a 15-amp outlet, can fully charge a completely depleted battery in 3.5 hours. Thanks to its weight of just 19kgs, the Motocompacto can be easily managed while travelling.
