Honda, the renowned Japanese car and motorcycle manufacturer, is stepping into the future with the revival of a beloved classic – the ‘Motocompacto‘. This foldable electric scooter, first introduced in the 1980s as the ‘Motocompo personal scooter,’ is making a striking comeback, sporting a sleek and futuristic design.

Described by TechCrunch+ as “irresistibly, heartbreakingly dorky and adorable,” the Honda Motocompacto retains elements of its predecessor while adding a touch of sci-fi aesthetics, reminiscent of a vehicle straight out of a 2077 video game.

Affordable and eco-friendly transportation

Honda’s Motocompacto is not just about looks; it’s designed to be accessible to the masses. With an attractive Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of only $995, this electric scooter aims to offer an affordable and eco-friendly mode of transportation.

The Motocompacto boasts a top speed of 15 mph (approximately 24 km/h), making it a suitable choice for short commutes and navigating campus environments. What sets it apart is its environmentally friendly nature, emitting zero emissions as it glides effortlessly.

Convenient charging and customisation

Charging the Motocompacto is a breeze, taking just 3.5 hours for a full charge. Once charged, it offers a range of 12 mph (approximately 19 km/h), ensuring you can travel without constant recharging interruptions.

The foldable design of this e-scooter makes it even more compact and easy to store. Designed by American engineers from Ohio and California, the Motocompacto is customizable with options like decals, stickers, skins, and more, promising a personalized touch.

To complement the Motocompacto, Honda is introducing an apparel lineup, including a helmet, backpack, and branded accessories, catering to fans of this quirky vehicle.
