Honda has shown off a new electric scooter at the Tokyo Motor Show 2011, called the Motor Compo, this electric scooter can be folded down to make it more portable, and as you can see from the photos it features a unique design.
The Honda Motor Compo is just 3 feet long and 4 feet tall, and it has been designed to fit easily into Honda’s micro commuter concept vehicle, and it features a removable battery that can also be used to power electronic devices. The Micro Commuter Concept is part of Honda’s commitment to reduce its cars’ average CO2 output by 30 per cent by 2020 based on 2005 emission levels.
