The Motocompo initially arrived on the market in 1981, as a useful accessory for the Honda City hatchback.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-245229\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Motocompo does fit in an NSX.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UY_5Zp9F3y0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Motocompo does fit in an NSX.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UY_5Zp9F3y0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Its genius lay in collapsing down into an ultra compact shape that fit perfectly in the trunk, as the design included anchor points and a strap to keep it firmly in place. A small 49cc two-stroke air-cooled engine provided just enough oomph, while the dry weight was a respectable 42 kilos. The engineers had even gone above and beyond to prevent all of the usual leaks when the scooter was stood on its side.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0DHD74RHP\" data-aawp-product-id=\"235565\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Maxshot Electric Scooter 8.5  \/10  \/14  Tire 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long Range Folding Escooter for Adults and Kids with Seat Bag Dual Braking Dual Suspension App\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51I0zLvqRjL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Maxshot Electric Scooter, 8.5' \/10' \/14' Tire, 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed, 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Maxshot Electric Scooter, 8.5&#8243; \/10&#8243; \/14&#8243; Tire, 16\/19\/22 Mph Top Speed, 12\/16\/21\/27\/28\/49\/50 Miles Long&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u3010Dual Suspension and Solid Tire\u3011The 10\u201dhoneycomb tires, along with the shock absorbing system, make this electric scooter adults for a smooth&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>\u3010LED Display &amp; Smart Control &amp;Lockable\u3011You can check your speed, modes and battery level on the LED digital display. check and control the&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>\u3010Powerful Motor &amp; Long Range\u3011The electric scooter for adults with a 500W brushless hub motor allows for speed up to 22mph.

Initially, there was no relationship between the two vehicles; nevertheless, it found out that they had comparable curves. Someone eventually took the time to double-check, and voila, the shapes matched. Scott prepared thoroughly before beginning the experiment. He drained the Motocompo\u2019s fluids, folded down the handlebars and seat, and placed it flat in the trunk, wheels included. It simply slid into position, requiring no fussing or modifications to either car.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Honda Motocompo Deep Dive: Easily One Of Honda\u2019s All-Time Coolest MiniMoto Bikes\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WxIpotlXCTw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Honda Motocompo Deep Dive: Easily One Of Honda\u2019s All-Time Coolest MiniMoto Bikes\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WxIpotlXCTw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>That small preparation step is important because if the scooter leaks fluids on the carpet liner when tipped on its side, you\u2019re in for a messy surprise. Scott dodged the nightmare entirely by draining everything beforehand. Later, he came to the conclusion in a nutshell, saying that he\u2019d always wondered if the scooter would fit, and the answer was a simple yes. The scooter pretty much slipped into place like it was meant for it. The Motocompo\u2019s wheels slotted into the broad gap between the engine and the boot lining.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"$1000 Honda Suitcase - Motocompacto Review\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WQAe7EtVi-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"$1000 Honda Suitcase - Motocompacto Review\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WQAe7EtVi-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Speaking of which, Honda has subsequently developed a newer electric version of the Motocompo, the Motocompacto, which folds up even smaller, so it should fit inside later NSX vehicles with little concern about fluids. For those crazy Honda fans out there who enjoy seeing old and new concepts on their shirts, there was a big smile on their cheeks as Scott\u2019s experiment paid off in a very satisfying way. The Motocompo never needed the NSX, but as it turned out, they could certainly share space if someone had bothered to try first.<br \/><span>[Source]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
