As a double amputee I can see this as a good alternative to getting around large venues.

As cool as it is to see the Motocompo making a comeback, I honestly don't see why would anyone choose this over an electric kick scooter or a folding ebike.

I’m going to wait for the Type R version!

This would be awesome for someone commuting by rail. The problem is weight. I wouldn't want to horse around 40 lbs. But, adding a foldable push bar, so it could be rolled around like luggage, would be a good improvement.

That is frigging cool as hell. I wished they had things like this when I was a teenager. To go to the store & visit friends.

This is perfect for me! I take the train to work, but it dumps me into a parking lot in the middle of nowehere; I need to take a bus to get to work after that. But with this I wouldn't have to wait for anything, and it's just another briefcase to take on the train!

In the UK our roads have things called potholes everywhere, often the size of a wash basin, that will demolish those tiny wheels.

Question: "Why are the range and top speed numbers lower than the advertised ones on Amazon no-brand scooters?" Answer: "Honda isn't just throwing numbers out there."

I got to ride one of these…. Biggest deal breakers…. Speed (15mph)….range (15 miles) ….and you have to carry it when not in use… it doesn’t drag along like a carryon

I could see this big with the RV crowd and college students. Large factories. I'm sure it's Honda reliable. Would have a nice aftermarket with seats and maybe handlebars. Custom wraps would be awesome. V2 no doubt will have longer range and higher speed. They could have a winner.

This is incredible! Super unique and functional!

no suspension is a bad thing. not every road is smooth. that would take 3-4months until some parts starts breaking because of the vibration. happened to my carbon light weight scooter. bearing in front wheel gave up after few months. even after repair, it gave up again. I used it for everyday, 14km a day. my light weight scooter is not for that, and this seems to me to be the same. :D

Thank you for a nice presentation of a surprisingly cool must-have gadget.

I love it! It’s soooo idealistic and compact! I love the fact that it looks like a suit case when folded. So storable and portable. I really want to buy it!

1k seems like a lot if you compare to what is available in the e-scooter market.

Very cool and practical. I can see more of these on the way, hopefully. Thanks for the review.

Cool, but would be cooler if you just pressed a button and it puts itself together

This is pretty cool. Could fulfill that 'last mile' leg of a trip from a train station.

I like the deep breath he takes before ripping out of there on a scooter that does 10mph 😂😂

Honda was just bored 😅

The carry handle looks like its in a position where it will get a lot of wear just from turning. It should have had a way to flatten itself into the handle shaft so it wouldn't get damaged over time.

Boosted Board seems to be a more practical option for a carry-on last-mile connectivity.

I’m just worried about stability and the feel of riding it. Usually I leave the house with a heavy backpack bare minimum

They should have nets or pockets on the side for work documents just like a brief case

I can't wait to see what people do to upgrade these

Does the battery blow up when you're charging it

I gotta ride one of those coolers that had a motor on it. It was awesome. Now i wanna try this

How many municipalities or states allow these on the road without registration or having a motorcycle license?

This is everything I need at the moment ❤️

I bought 1, it's neat, unique, alien in a way. It stands out on the beach routes. People wha wha over it.

I can't wait to see this in "Beast Mode!"

I have a Yuneec Ego for my "last mile" trips. 12mph, 15mile range, 4hr charge, 15lbs, PLUS it has a USB port I can use for charging my phone or laptop on the go. And its been super reliable and fun!

Do they make tire socks for snow and ice?

I have a Honda Fit and NEED this!

How does it handle bumps in the road?

The amount of time it takes to tetris this thing open and closing would be just about the same amount of time it would take to walk that last mile.

Where can I buy the bell separately 🙂

Why not wrap it in thin solar panels? It’d charge it self when tilted over while stationary. You could always diy I guess

Is it has Vtec with 11000 RPM?

I see no way to lock it up. So either you have to fold it up and take it in with you every time you go into a store or wherever, or you have to accept that you are going to need a replacement as soon as someone picks it up and runs off with it the first time you take your eyes off it. It needs a hole through the center for a big cable lock or something.

I want a suitcase like this so I can ride it up to the boarding gate

Looks okay for something like New York or Tokyo where the ground is always flat and smooth for the most part, with bike lanes. This would be a nightmare to ride in Vegas because of elevation and the terrible/random condition of the roads and pavements. I have a UScooter and it also has solid wheels with minimum style suspension and it's not great, the road rattles your hands into abject pain, imagine what it's doing to the components and wiring, probably one reason why mine only lasted a year, that and a single motor isn't enough for my needs, it's basically a side walk only scooter, anything rougher than sidewalk pavement is uncomfortable if not damaging.

Warranty? How challenging to fix?

how does it handle off road?

I don't see how this is a better option than any number of cheaper electric scooters. But, I think it's pretty neat.

How does it handle rain?

Does it turn in to a table

What happens when you hit a pot hole at 15mph?

My work is 23 km away will this work

Great. I'd buy one. It's very practical.

I'll just stick to my Gotrax Flex. This is OK for someone who may need it for work, say if you work in a huge warehouse and need it to go across acres. Or someone who does errands in an airport, etc.

Is there any way to get this in Europe? I couldn't find any source on that. Alternatively, is there any US dealer that would be willing to ship it to e.g. Germany? My wife would love this bike!

How do carry your other luggage on that thing !?

Very creative idea! Can you have backup battery for this motocompacto for longer ride? Thanks!

It's awesome, useful and easy. As an electric scooter user for years and now using Dualtron fastest electric scooter I'm still hoping to get one of these if not built one myself. Since the law in Spain doesn't let us go to 40 mph (65Km/h) ... I prefer this case of electric suit box from Honda.

whens the TYPE-R coming out !! wheres the mod's ????

Needs a button to pack/unpack on demand..Also more staying power on charge and portable charger..

18,5 kilogram. 24 km speed. 19 km range. 🤙🏼

How is it on wet tarmac? and would it stop well on wet pavement. Any alternative tires for it?

Can’t wait for the 6 cylinder!

Don’t see any hill test. Why?

Isn't a battery scooter much better, being lighter and physically smaller, therefore more portable?

I worked for an agency putting these together and it is easy.

WOW ... COOL , I would like one !

How much though

"It's not fast, it's not exhilarating." Modders: Challenge accepted.

I don't have a factory and don't need to replace conveyor belt motors for a production line.

Lol, looks like someone at Honda had the same dream as me. I used to do 45min walk to work 5-6 days a week, had a dream about 10yrs ago that I bought something very similar to this and was riding it to and from work.

why this thing if we already have EUC (electric unicycles) that are more fun and easier to carry

It's a batry in suitcase size with 2 weels and a bar, cool!

How did this idea get past the first meeting?

This costs money? I am not sure I'd agree to be seen around town on THAT if Honda paid me $1,000.

Surprised how awkward the folding / unfolding process is. Also surprised that there's no way to wheel it around with the handle extended to a comfortable height.

Do they make baskets for it?

Can you drive it on the road with regular traffic?

Thorough demo!!

What makes it a better purchase than a fold up e scooter? Seems there's more positives to a scooter: lighter, cheaper, bigger wheels, further range, faster...

I want this.

how steep of a hill it can handle?

I once had an idea to put wheels on a folding table; sucks that someone beat me to it.

Can the battery last a ful, day of use?

Its really heavy to get out of car trunk better option is a single wheel scooter but thats dangerous also. I think the last mile mobility has to be some kind of exoskeleton

can you take it on the plane tho?

Hills?

Super fun

How comfortable is that seat?

OK to get you from the terminal to your Learjet I suppose

I’m in the “isn’t a scooter/eBike etc, etc..” lobby, but I do see a wider problem for all the new bred of ePropulsion as a last-leg option if you’re intending using the rail network as many of the Rail companies (in the UK) have banned them from their trains.. Mind you, if you wanted to start a rental outside the railway station…..🤔

Can you roll it like a rolling suitcase?

How about a brake?

Looks like a nut irradiator. Any EMF protection on this thing?

My Segway e22 with the external battery pack can go about 27 miles on a full charge plus go 15 miles an hour. 9 inch tires too.

Great idea but looks like a pretty rough prototype when assembling and putting away. As my teachers always said at school....Needs more work!!

What’s the weight capacity?

It needs to be rollable like a suitcase rather than carried. Also, any commuter who uses a folding bike knows full well what an absolute pain in the bum they are to "construct" when the weather is terrible (Brompton leading the pack on that front) so just seeing what stages you need to go through in order to get this Honda up and running made me immediately think of my own commute. There's no way I could be bothered putting that together in rain or wind. Far too much faffing. It feels like they put far more design emphasis on it folding into that flat suitcase format, rather than simply focussing on it being a very compact design but extremely easy to construct in a second - which begs the question: why would I get this rather than a simple electric scooter that is lighter to carry when required and even more compact? This Honda is a nice looking overall design, but as a concept...a design geared towards a very specific customer, there are better options available already. I think what they have done deliberately though, is give it a design language that can very easily be customized through branding. It's clearly a drivable billboard so I can see this very much zooming around airports and corporate events etc, covered in advertising.

That’s an understatement. 😊

looks like a mini picnic table with wheels

I like the idea but 40 pounds is still pretty heavy. Whereas the Arma Scooter is 10lbs and can fold into an easily held package which can also fit in a backpack. The Arma has less range though, But I suspect 7 miles is more than enough to get to an office from mass transit. I’m leaning towards the Arma simply because it’s a much more compact and easier to carry package.

I’m actually getting one

Is this street legal?
