This is a perfect segment to be overtaken by electric. Electric bikes can do what minibikes and pit bikes can do easily, and with no tailpipe emissions.

If Honda was an American based company, they'd have to follow our EPA emissions rules. Which would basically mean they'd double the size of the motorcycle and make you climb on it with a ladder 😂

A electric version of the cub would do wonders I presume!

Zero emissions needs to be the future, but getting more people out of cars and onto bikes is a good step. Moving thousands of pounds of metal for the sake of a couple hundred-pound meat sacks is just illogical.
