@gigadgetsofficial: The Honda Motocompo (1981–1983) is a tiny foldable 49 cc two-stroke scooter designed exclusively for the first-generation Honda City. When folded, it turns into a neat rectangular box that slots perfectly into the City’s trunk — the original “last-mile” solution decades before folding e-scooters became common. Unfold the handlebars, seat and footpegs in seconds and you have a cheeky little runabout with a top speed of ~ 18.6 mph (30 km/h). Launched at the start of Japan’s bubble-economy era in bold yellow, red or white, it instantly became a pop-culture icon of 1980s optimism and playful design. Only ~53,000 were made, and today pristine examples are highly sought-after by collectors, regularly selling for US$5,000–$10,000+. Honda paid homage in 2023 with the all-electric Motocompacto, proving the Motocompo was decades ahead of its time.
