New generation Honda Cub with EV and 2WD!

What some cult bike enthusiasts have called the worlds best motorcycle will be remade by Honda this time with a 2WD electric drive.

The iconic Honda Cub 50 4 stroke was probably the worlds most economical production bike.

Neat! I could live without the fancy electronic driver distractions though.

Engine cut-off... hmmm... I think I want to be in charge of that. Maybe not.

Immediately that didnt appeal either, okay with prius and insight cause a starter motor wont wear out. 50km/l for a 125 is okay but no world beater. My FX125 did 50km/l

The EV Cub looks cute as a button. Like Mini and Fiat 500, an iconic classic, remade today. The new Fiat 500 was a hit in Europe. If the New Cub goes as well as it looks, could be a goodie.

That thing is so retro-sexy... I'd love to have one. It's just not fiscally do-able, though.

Nah, you don't. Honda says so. They know what they're talking about, too.
