Even Honda isn’t sure what to do with this cute little thing.

    I’d rather take an old motocampo that runs on gas.

    It’s cute. Depending on price I’d get it for the novelty. I live in a fairly small area anyways.

    Looks like something out of an old 80’s anime.

    For when you’re not cool enough to pull of a moped.

    i’ve heard some nasty news stories of swapmeet/amazon kind of e-scooters catching whole apartment buildings on fire because of battery malfunctions while charging. if i do ever go for an e-scooter it will be from a reputable brand like this

    No worries, soon there will be a bunch of “Motocompak”, “MotoComfy” and “MotorCompacto” on Aliexpress with less money, more power, and far less reliability.

    It’s not meant to be the most ergonomic scooter. It’s a trunk-bike first and foremost. The #1 goal is portability and “trunk-ability” (the ability to fit into most car trunks).

    The OG motocompo was designed specifically for the boot of the Honda city turbo (adorable little hatchback from the 80s). This is designed to fit in the back of any car.
