Here is what Honda is up to in the EV business:

It looks like they have a way to go before they will start to compete with Brammo.

yeah, the neo is boring...it will sell OK in Japan though.

The Super Cub EV is hella sexy though, for a scooter....but Honda will likely never make it...sadly...

Of course Honda could just take the 350 CB and fill it up with EV goodness and the purist in me would be quite happy.

I think the NEO looks a lot nicer than the cub. Undoubtedly they will do very well in Japan but to compete in the Western market their products will have to compete aesthetically with Brammo.

Ah, Gavin... I had a 1973 Honda CB550. Just saw an identical one to mine at the motorcycle show I went to two weeks ago -- it won best of show (or something). Pristine condition and orange metal flake, the same color as mine.
