The Honda Motocompo, a beloved Japanese icon of the early 1980s, has become a sought-after collector’s item in recent years. Its ingenious foldable design continues to inspire modern scooters, including electric variants. Now, Honda pays tribute to this iconic design with the Motocompacto, a contemporary electric scooter.

The new Honda Motocompacto features a sleek, minimalist design reminiscent of the original. Crafted by Honda’s engineers in Ohio and California, it boasts 32 patents, showcasing its innovation. Weighing just 18kg and measuring 94mm in width, 533mm in height, and 740mm in length when folded, it’s ultra-portable, fitting in a car trunk or on public transport.

With a top speed of over 24 km/h, the Motocompacto is perfect for city travel. Its motor delivers 490W peak output and 16 Nm of torque, ensuring a zippy ride. A full charge in 3.5 hours provides a range of up to 19.3 km. The scooter is paired with a smartphone app for customization via Bluetooth.

Initially exclusive to the U.S., the Honda Motocompacto is competitively priced at just US$995. This electric scooter reimagines the Motocompo’s legacy, offering an affordable and stylish urban mobility solution.
