The Honda Motocompo is a unique and iconic small folding scooter that was produced by Honda Motor Company in the early 1980s. It was specifically designed to complement the Honda City, a popular subcompact car that was also manufactured during the same period.
The Motocompo was first introduced to the market in 1981 and was intended to serve as a compact, portable transportation option for urban dwellers. It’s compact size and foldable design made it an ideal choice for people who needed a convenient mode of transport for short distances or for those who wanted to combine it with their existing means of transportation, such as a car or train.
The scooter featured a distinctive, boxy design, with a seat that could be folded down, handlebars that could be retracted, and the whole unit could be conveniently stored in the trunk of a car or carried on public transportation. When folded, it transformed into a compact suitcase-like shape, making it easy to transport and store in tight spaces.
Despite its small size, the Motocompo was equipped with a 50cc two-stroke engine, providing decent power for city commuting. It had a top speed of around 30 mph (48 km/h), which made it suitable for short urban journeys. The scooter also boasted a fuel-efficient engine, allowing for a range of approximately 100 miles (160 km) on a full tank.
The Motocompo gained significant popularity in Japan due to its practicality and quirky design. It became a symbol of the innovative and creative spirit of Honda during that era. The scooter was also featured in various media, including television shows and movies, further enhancing its cult status.
Today, the Honda Motocompo holds a special place in motorcycle history as a unique and beloved example of compact urban transportation. While it was only produced for a few years, its distinct design and practicality have made it a sought-after collector’s item among enthusiasts around the world.
