Honda Gyro: the electric future on three wheels

The new three-wheeled electric scooter from the Japanese brand is expected to use new standardized batteries next spring.

Still stubbornly absent from the electric segment in Europe, Honda continues to expand its lineup in Japan, targeting professionals first. Following the launch of Benly: e last April, the Japanese manufacturer is finalizing its offering by announcing the launch of two new three-wheeled models.

Unveiled at the end of 2019 at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show, the Honda Gyro e: was specially designed for vehicles. Equipped with a platform for convenient placement of the transport box, it is complemented by the Gyro Canopy, a version developed on the same basis and equipped with a roof designed to protect the driver.

Removable and standardized batteries

If he does not provide technical information about two models, the manufacturer indicates that they are equipped with their new removable battery device. The standardized system, called the "Honda Mobile Power Pack", was developed in collaboration with other manufacturers. This standardized system not only makes it easy to change the battery from one model to another, but also offers advantages in terms of battery replacement stations, which can thus be used by multiple brands.

In Japan, two versions of the Gyro will go on sale next spring.
