When it comes to mini-bikes, Honda sure has you covered. With a whole fleet of mini-bikes in its roster over the years, Big Red sure knows how to put big things in small packages. Bikes like the Honda Grom and Monkey continue to be massively popular even to this day. With cult followings across multiple countries, these bikes are loved for their rowdy nature and easy customization. 

But what if the Grom and Monkey are just too big for you? Well, way back in 1981, Honda released what many would consider today as an urban mobility solution. Granted of course, at the time the notion of urban mobility was not as big a concern as it is today. Nonetheless, Honda got their thinking caps on, and released the , a foldable little scooter that was could perfectly fit into the back of equally quirky cars like the Honda Today and City Turbo II. Powered by a nifty little 49cc two-stroke, single-cylinder engine, it was surprisingly peppy and offered an impressive 140 kilometer fuel range thanks to its 2.2 liter fuel tank.
