Is the new Honda Motocompacto a worthy successor to the 1980s fan favorite Motocompo? We take our first ride and get all the details on Honda's e-scooter.
A Honda fan favorite returns as the Motocompacto, a mini electric cycle that fits in your trunk. But is it fun to ride?. Despite never being sold in the U.S., the Motocompo is a fan favorite among Honda and JDM enthusiasts, and to this day rows of them can be found proudly displayed at JDM car meets. Recently, Honda announcedMotocompacto: How Far, How Fast, How Heavy?
In case you're wondering why Honda decided to go with a single front motor rather than dual motors, there is a good reason for it."We wanted to make sure we had a mechanical brake," said Nick Ziraldo, Motocompacto Project Lead."If we would have had a motor in front and in back the whole package would have gotten bigger," added Ziraldo.. One of the most impressive features is its weight. At just 41.
The plan was a lead-follow ride across Honda's campus to a designated area with a cone course set up for a"lapping" session. We weren't given a lengthy operating tutorial other than how to switch between the two driving modes. Mode 1 limits speed to 10 mph while Mode 2 unlocks the Motocompacto's 15 mph top speed. Beyond that, every aspect of riding the Motocompacto is intuitive.
To keep things safe, there are sensors in the main folding mechanisms that make sure no power can go to the motor until the handle bars, seat, and wheels are fully deployed so there aren't any accidents while folding or unfolding it. Additionally, whenever the Motocompacto is turned on it defaults to the slower Mode 1. In Mode 1 no power is sent to the motor from the battery until the rider kicks off with their feet.
