Honda Motocompo
The Honda Motocompo was produced from 1981 to 1983 with a compact foldable form factor for easy storage.
The handlebars can be folded up and hidden in the top compartment while the seat recesses into the body. The footpegs also fold upward, creating a very compact package.
The Motocompo was marketed as an accessory to the Honda City car, which was designed with a storage compartment specifically designed for the foldable scooter.
The Motocompo was powered by a 49cc air-cooled two-stroke claiming 2.5 hp at 5,000 rpm and 2.7 lb-ft. at 4,500 rpm.
Where the Motocompo looks very much a product of the early '80s, the Honda Motocompacto has a modern, almost Apple-like aesthetic. Honda opted for white bodywork with minimal branding to make a the Motocompacto a blank canvas for customization.
The slot on the right side behind the footpegs houses the kickstand and a welded steel locking loop that should fit most bike locks.
In ready-to-ride mode, the Motocompacto measures 38.1 inches by 35.0 inches by 17.2 inches, with a 24.5-inch seat height.
The charger can be stored inside the Motocompacto's body. Honda says the battery can get a full charge in 3.5 hours.
A small LCD shows the speed, ride mode, battery charge, Bluetooth connectivity, headlight and lock status.
In riding configuration, there is only one visible cable for the brake lever. Everything else is hidden for a clean look.
