HONDA Phils. Inc. (HPI) recently released the new Honda Scoopy scooter, which the company said should cater to “an increasingly diverse” motorcycle market. The new model is powered by an air-cooled, four-stroke 110cc engine that HPI said is fuel efficient and quiet, and is mated to Honda’s V-belt drivetrain, which should ensure smooth operation. The bike has a lightweight aluminum chassis.

Other significant mechanical pieces include bright headlights and taillamps, a brake lock that makes mounting the bike stand easy and safe, a switch on the side stand that automatically stops the engine, and an electric starter.

Tipping the scales at only 91 kilograms, the Scoopy offers spacious legroom and is fitted with pillion pegs and an underseat storage. It comes in a range of trendy colors that include pearl metalloid white, pearl angel yellow, cheerful pink metallic, candy rose red and asteroid black metallic. The Scoopy sells for P68,900.
