Three wheels and a roof: Honda's new electric scooter in the news

Announced last winter, the Gyro Canopy: e takes the base of the three-wheeled electric scooter Gyro: e with the addition of a roof.

The new Honda Gyro Canopy: e is designed to be delivered with a roof and windshield designed to protect the driver from rain, as well as a cargo box.

Powered by a 3,2 kW electric motor, this three-wheeled cargo ship will be able to travel up to 77 kilometers at a speed of 30 km / h, which is quite feasible in large cities. First of all, the two 2,6 kWh batteries are interchangeable and removable. This way, if stored under the seat, they can be replaced in seconds. Enough to optimize usage and limit charging-related standby times.

High starting price for the Japanese market

Generally, Honda prefers the Japanese market to launch its new electric scooter.

Honda Gyro Canopy: ey is announced at an impressive price of 715 yen or 000 euros. It is much more expensive than other models of the brand, such as the small U-GO electric scooter (5 €). But the Canopy: e promises a lot more power and comfort. Available in white and red, it is not yet known if it will ever hit the European market and when.
