Honda’s Motocompacto: A Rideable Suitcase

The Motocompacto is a modern electric version of a Honda design from the early ’80s called the Motocompo. Back then, the Motocompo was a foldable scooter, but it had a different look. It kind of resembled a handyman’s duffle bag when it was all packed up. Honda designed it so that it could fit into the cargo space of their small Honda City kei car.

The idea was to use it as a solution for the last part of a journey. People could drive their car as far as they could, and then use the Motocompo to get to their final destination in places where they couldn’t park a car easily.

The Motocompacto can do the same things as the original model, but it has some modern features to make your ride even better. According to Honda, it’s great for moving around cities & campuses. They made sure it’s comfortable & easy to use.

It has a comfy seat, secure foot pegs to keep your feet in place, a place to store your stuff, a digital speedometer to show how fast you’re going, a battery gauge to see how much charge is left, and a handy handle to carry it when you’re not riding.

What’s really cool is that you can use a smartphone app to change your personal settings, like the lights and how it rides, using Bluetooth. So, it’s like having a high-tech scooter that you can customize just the way you like it.
