Honda Motocompacto: E-Mobility XXS
The scooter named Motocompacto seems to be a perfect mobility tool. The Motocompacto is powered by a permanent magnet direct drive motor with a peak output of 490 watts. Honda specifies a maximum torque of 16 Nm, the top speed is 25 km/h. The 6.8 ampere-hour battery can be charged in 3.5 hours at a 110-volt outlet (there is no information yet for 220 volts). The e-suitcase is said to achieve up to 20 kilometers of range.
"In conjunction with our new all-electric SUVs, the Motocompacto supports our goal of carbon neutrality by providing customers with seamless emission-free transportation," says Jane Nakagawa, Vice President of Research and Development at American Honda.
Made in USA
The fully electric small vehicle was designed and developed by Honda engineers in Ohio and California and has already received 32 patents. The chassis of the scooter is made of lightweight aluminum, and with a speedometer, battery level indicator, and LED lighting, one can venture out onto the road. When folded, the scooter measures just 74.5 x 54 centimeters and is only 9.2 centimeters wide. Weighing 18.7 kilograms, it is just portable enough to be carried like a suitcase.
Unfolded, the Motocompacto measures 97 centimeters in length, 89 centimeters in height, and 44 centimeters in width. The seat height is 62 centimeters. According to Honda, the speeding e-suitcase will cost less than $1,000.
What does that mean?
Honda has experience in building mini-scooters. Already in the 80s, the Japanese introduced a small folding scooter. According to Honda, it is quite conceivable that the speeding electric suitcase will be integrated as an accessory in future Honda vehicles.
