TINY SCOOTERS

Scooter enthusiasts have heard the legends of the Motocompo, a compact folding scooter sold by Honda in the early '80s. It was the tiniest scooter made by the Japanese brand but had limited availability and was only sold in Japan. Enter the 21st century and a desire for ultra-convenient transportation options that are fun, flexible, and good for the planet. Earlier this month, Honda announced that it was bringing back an all-electric version of the concept with the Motocompacto. According to Honda, the 2023 itineration is “designed to invoke freedom, ensure joy for the next generation, and take the boundaries off its riders.” Available for $995 at a Honda or Acura dealership near you.
