Meet the Honda Motocompacto

Do you take the bus and dread walking to and from your stop each day? Do you travel often and need an easy way to get around in new cities? Are you a college student who chronically oversleeps, missing your 8 a.m. class? The Honda Motocompacto can be a lifesaver in all these situations and more. This all-electric scooter provides an innovative solution for urban transportation, enabling you to make every mile of your trip easier and more convenient. We’ve got what you need to know about the Honda Motocompacto, now available for sale at Ike Honda in Marion, Illinois.

Design and Innovation

The all-new Honda Motocompacto features a unique design that’s as fun as it is functional. It’s a cross between an electric bike and a scooter, complete with a comfortable seat, an easy-to-use handlebar, and secure footpegs. When folded, it’s smaller than a carry-on suitcase, allowing you to store it in your trunk or take it on the bus.

Designed and engineered by Honda, the Motocompacto comes with the same high-quality, durable design you expect from the brand. It prioritizes safety and ease of use with features such as a digital speedometer, charge gauge, and comfortable carry handle. It has a kickstand you can use to secure the scooter safely when you arrive at your destination. Wherever you take the Motocompacto, you’ll turn heads with this sleek, stylish mode of transportation.

One of the best parts of the Motocompacto is its blank canvas, allowing you to customize the scooter to match your personality. Use decals, stickers, or skins to decorate the sides and show off your personal style. Do you have your own company or side hustle? You can even use the Motocompacto as a mobile billboard for your business.

Technical Specifications

While the Motocompacto probably won’t become your sole source of transportation, it’s a great way to avoid traffic gridlock, get to and from the bus stop, or zip across campus to make your next class on time. It can travel up to 15 mph and has two driving modes to ensure your personal safety in crowded settings. It’s equipped with a peppy motor that allows it to accelerate from zero to 15 mph in about 7 seconds.

The Motocompacto can travel up to 12 miles on a single charge. When the battery depletes, you can plug it into a standard 110-volt outlet to fully charge the scooter in about three and a half hours.

With a weight of about 41 pounds, the Motocompacto is easy to carry with you to work or class. It’s intended for riders 14 or older, with a maximum 265-pound weight capacity. To give you a better idea of its size, here are the other dimensions of the Motocompacto:

• Length when ready to ride: 38.1 inches.
• Length when folded: 29.2 inches.
• Height when ready to ride: 35 inches.
• Height when folded: 21.1 inches.

User Experience

The Motocompacto is designed with your safety and comfort in mind. It’s built on a high-strength, heat-treated aluminum frame with solid wheels. In the front and back, LED headlights and taillights provide clear visibility and allow others to see you coming. It also comes with a steel lock loop on the kickstand, so you can use standard bike locks to secure the scooter and prevent theft.

When you’re driving the scooter in a busy environment, such as a crowded parking lot or college campus, you can choose to use its low-speed mode, ensuring you don’t go faster than 10 mph at any time. You can easily view the speed and battery usage on the LED display. The scooter also has a tight turn radius, allowing you to navigate safely through traffic or crowds.

For added convenience, the Motocompacto can connect to an app on your smartphone. Through this app, you can view its battery charge and overall battery health, and you can use a handy trip calculator to ensure you have enough battery to make it to your destination. The app also allows you to use Bluetooth to adjust your personal settings, such as the lighting and ride modes.

Environmental Impact

In addition to being a convenient way to travel, the Motocompacto can help you significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Its zero-emissions range of up to 12 miles allows you to travel from point A to point B without producing harmful pollutants. By choosing this mode of transportation, you’re doing your part to create a cleaner, healthier environment in Southern Illinois and beyond.

Honda remains committed to its goal of carbon neutrality, and the Motocompacto is a key part of its electrification strategy. The all-new Motocompacto precedes the company’s first two all-electric SUVs, the upcoming Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX. By 2030, Honda plans to offer 30 electric vehicles globally as part of its lineup. The future is now, and the Motocompacto is leading the way as a form of sustainable urban transport.
