After its initial introduction on September 2023, the Honda Motocompacto finally made its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Undeniably, it is the electric-powered reincarnation of Honda’s 50cc, two-stroke foldable mini scooter, the Motocompo. This was sold as an accessory option for Honda automobiles (City and Today) back in the early '80s. While both were designed to fit in most trunk spaces, the Motocompo was marketed as a spare vehicle, while the Motocompacto is presented as a m

More often than not, there’s fatality when a truck gets involved in a road crash. Trucks are more prone to getting involved in mishaps because other motorists are not familiar with how big vehicles use the road. Moreover, there are a lot of blind spots around a truck, which render its driver oblivious to smaller vehicles within a close proximity. In this regard, motorcyclists are the most vulnerable and it is up to us riders to exert efforts to avoid becoming "human shawarma" by religiously obse

There’s nothing more exhilarating to a rider than the experience of buying and riding home a brand-new motorcycle. But wait, are we allowed to ride home on a newly purchased, unregistered motorcycle? Nope, but most buyers do so anyway. Grab a seat; this is going to get messy. You see, driving any motor vehicle not registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) is a major offense. It has a penalty of ₱ 10,000, and the vehicle will be impounded. After you’ve secured the registration and paid

Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) just posted a teaser on its Facebook page, which offers a glimpse of the rear wheel of the model that is to be launched on September 23 at the upcoming Honda Moto Fair to be held at Market! Market! In Taguig City. Based on that and on the caption, “Get ready for a new look,” we could probably say with a fair amount of certainty that there will be no Vision or Lead that is going to be unveiled on that day. What we’ll likely have is version 3 of the popular BeAT scoote

We received confirmation from Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) that there will be a new product launching at the Honda Moto Fair on Sept. 23, 2023 at Market! Market! in Taguig City. As expected, Honda was still tight-lipped as to what model it would be. Our initial guess had been the Giorno+, which was recently launched in Thailand. The Giorno+ is a retro-styled scooter fitted with a 125cc eSP+ engine, meaning it has four valves to give better performance. The Giorno+ could be Honda’s answer to the
