HONDA MOTOCOMPACTO FIRST RIDE EXPERIENCE - JORDAN'S REVIEW

EV Channels Review

Jordan provides an insightful first ride experience of the electric Honda Motocompacto, a micro-mobility scooter. While Honda's US EV presence is minimal, this "personal passion project" revives a concept from the 1980s. The Motocompacto is presented as a first/last mile solution, potentially complementing existing EVs or introducing electrification to new users. Jordan highlights its "Honda engineering and build quality" as a key differentiator from cheaper alternatives, despite not boasting class-leading specs. The scooter's top speed is 15 mph with a 12-mile range, charging in 3.5 hours. A significant critique is the lack of seamless integration with Honda's upcoming Prologue EV, particularly the absence of dedicated storage. Priced at $995, it's seen as a fun, albeit not highly utilitarian, toy that offers a unique way to engage with e-mobility.
