On September 14, 2023, Honda officially announced the imminent arrival of its new Motocompacto. If you’re familiar with the brand’s Motocompo folding gas-powered scooter from the early 1980s, the name of the new version seems like a logical extension.
It’s clearly been in the works for some time, and we know this because Honda filed a trademark application for the name Motocompacto back in 2020. It’s a massive, worldwide company that’s always working on multiple things at once, so it’s probably not much of a surprise that things were pretty quiet for some time after that. By November 2022, though, we also got a glimpse at a Honda Motocompacto logo design trademark.
