“Motocompacto is uniquely Honda – a fun, innovative, and unexpected facet of our larger electrification strategy,” said Jane Nakagawa, vice president of the R&D Business Unit at American Honda Motor Co. “Sold in conjunction with our new all-electric SUVs, Motocompacto supports our goal of carbon neutrality by helping customers with end-to-end zero-emissions transport.”
The Motocompacto was designed and developed by Honda’s engineers in Ohio and California, leading to 32 patents. The stackable design means you can even load it in the trunk of your Honda Prologue, Honda’s first American EV, or take it on public transport.
Standard equipment includes a comfy seat, secure foot pegs, on-board storage, a digital speedometer and charge gauge, and a phone app that adjusts lighting and ride modes.
The Motocompacto will go on sale at Honda and Acura dealerships and an official online store in November. It has an MSRP of just $995, slightly more than Bugatti charges for its official electric scooter. Still, it’s much less than the Dragonfly Hyperscooter unveiled a year ago.
