    15 mph?! It seems useless. I better run or have a cheap bike.

    Honda Jazz is different from Honda City

    how does this make sense in 2023? any electric scooter has a much longer range and weighs less than 40lbs . cities are full of them

    It need to be 500 or 600 dollars. EV types should be half what combustion engines should cost. From Cars to trucks to Buses. That’s the whole point of going EV in the first place is half the cost. Now a faster longer distance of about three miles maybe five would be nice around 1000 dollars. But this model should be around five or six hundred dollars. Would be a hit for the kids and down town residents. Everyone would get one ASAP at that price point.

    12 miles? Well that’s not far at all

    can it start on an uphill slope?….. Or, more to the point: On how steep a slope can it start moving when there is a 200lb driver sitting on it? (most EV scooters can NOT start moving from a standstill if they are on an uphill slope.)

    15 miles an hour is a 4 minute mile pace, on two feet that is flying. ~14 USD @ 72 months depending on financing, not bad for a first vehicle! Thank you Honda for lowering the cost of entry on an EV!

    this is very japanese design that we would definitely see more in Tokyo.

    Looks like a glorified folding table on wheels with a seat , motor and wheels ???????????? . Still it’s fun to ride

      Not to mention the steering . Jesus Christ that autocorrect always tries to correct me and messes me up on the comments ????????????????????????????

    I don’t see the point of this when you get escooters for half the price and are compact when you fold then down

    I ordered mine then they canceled my order and made me order it again because apparently you can’t have it delivered. You have to pick it up at a dealership even though they give you the option to ship it when you’re ordering it.

    how do we purchase this ? because all of our dealerships here are donkey heads and have no idea what their talking about.

How to Invite Creativity into Your Life | Rose B. Simpson, Debbie Millman | TED

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars. (If that sounds like a contradiction, that’s kind of the point.) In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening. (Recorded at TEDNext 2025 on November 10, 2025)
