  • New 2024 Honda Motocompacto Review / Specs! Today, we're taking a quick look at the first official new Honda electric scooter that was just released as a successor to the original Honda Motocompo mini bike. Tired of being stuck in traffic? Whip out your folding E bike from Honda and watch the traffic dissapear, or at least that's what they're hoping for with the release of this new electric motorcycle / motor scooter. That's an alternative to other forms of transportation, like with the Honda Ruckus, Metropolitan, Giorno, Navi and other smaller motorcycles like the Grom 125, Monkey 125, Super Cub, CT125 / Trail 125 etc.

      Honda should market these to boaters. They'll be great to throw on the boat since they're so small, light, "clean" (no gas to store, spill or smell), and can be "refueled" with solar power from the boats solar/electric system. Carry an international power adapter set, and you can charge them if needed while sight-seeing on land at most marinas in developed nations.

      Flop, because they are still thinking of these things as car accesories, not vehicles in their own right. These would be perfect for the European urban youth. A vehicle that can bypass traffic and parking because it is slow, light and clean enough to pass as a bicycle is more useful to us than a car. We don't have garages or large wallets, so something that fits in an elevator and doesn't take up much place in an apartment is perfect. Trust me, I have a full sized scooter in my one room apartment and it sucks. I'd much rather downgrade to this thing if it was available for sale in my country.

    That's *almost* an impulse buy. And yeah, I know you can get a whole lot of bicycle for $1k these days. But a little runabout that I can toss in my trunk, or take to my desk at work, and costs about 10 cents to fully recharge? That's *really* tempting!
    Also! It's cute. It's quirky. It's classic Honda WEIRD. And that's what I appreciates about them.

For the spec and power, they should just price it at $495, at $995, it is double the price of what it’s worth.

    Great video, too funny, I love the editing. I hope Honda is going to find it's quality manufacturing again, it is a shame when the knock off Honda small motors are more reliable than a Honda motor, ( lawnmowers)
    For me a small electric bike I would just get the one at Costco for 400 bucks, I see them around and they seem to do the job. I no longer commute.
    But I think you should have a race between one of these E-Bikes and that lady from Austin riding the food robot. Now that would be a hoot. Or maybe cut that in one of your videos it would be too funny.

      Sadly, I can't find anything from Canada stating that they plan on selling it but... I don't think it'll be difficult to get your hands on one. They haven't updated the site to where you can actually buy it yet but they are claiming it will be sold online at this website: motocompacto.honda.com/ as well as at Honda / Acura auto dealers , according to the press release here: hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/release-cc39196e84787a20ec3cb086fb0b4c59-new-honda-motocompacto-e-scooter-redefines-personal-urban-mobility-as-sleek-simple-and-uniquely-foldable
      So... one would think, you should be able to order it online and have it shipped to Canada? If they won't ship directly to Canada though, I'm sure it won't be difficult to get your hands on one through different avenues. Hell, push comes to shove - we'll figure something out and they can ship it to me and I'll turn around and ship it to you lol ;)

    It's probably $300.⁰⁰ e-scooter. But msrp is $995, so? I pay that price.its a actual honda.. however dealers are greedy.. and the mark-up price out the door has been overwhelmingly dissatisfing This greed alone ruins the greatness of the niche of the classic original... I'm not pre ordering anything.. you got one? I'll buy 2.. if not, I won't waste time on bullsh.t.

    It's called a bike, but it doesn't look like a bike since it doesn't have pedals. Since it's not a "bike", it would be banned from my local multiuse paved trails forcing me to ride it in the bike lane. With the limited speed and range, and having to ride it in the bike lane, I'd opt for a 50cc scooter. It does look funky cool, but doesn't fit my uses/needs.

      The point is that you can modify them, unlike Apple, Honda loves the aftermarket and the aftermarket REALLY loves Honda. If you give it a few months people will 100% be buying these and doing crazy builds with more power and a fast top speed etc etc, the point in Honda’s simplistic design is to make the Motocompacto a cheap but well built blank canvas that can be used by everyone from older people around town or for younger students at college, not to mention the massive enthusiast communities behind Honda cars and bikes.

    These are hot garbage, a little slower? try less than half as fast; a bone stock Motocompo tops out at 25-30 mph, this TrashCompacto tops out at 12 mph. Sad. They are cashing in on ignorant people that don't know what they're buying. Just get a class 3 ebike that will go as fast as a motocompo and save yourself a few bucks.

    flop, massive flop, I predict at least 6-7 people will buy one but everyone else isn't going to give it the time of day and for good reason: range is 12 miles (assuming you are on a perfectly flat and level surface for those 12 miles, which realistically is not going to happen)- looks nothing like the original motocompo (which is what gave it its charm) and looks like a fuckin suitcase, totally disappointing. And the fact that there is so much empty space on this thing that isn't used just doesn't seem right. They could have done way better for cheaper and why they decided not to is anyones guess.
