What's stylish and easy to operate, yet economical to own? Honda's Scoopy - now available in two exciting colour schemes.

Unique features

  • Efficient four-stroke engine consumes substantially less fuel and produces significantly lower exhaust emissions than a comparable two-stroke engine.
  • Automatic Honda V-Matic(tm) transmission.
  • Combined Brake System(tm) (CBS(tm)) provides excellent stopping power.
  • Lightweight, sturdy aluminium chassis is recyclable and contributes to the Scoopy's manoeuvrability and excellent fuel economy.
  • Lockable underseat compartment offers nearly 22 litres of storage capacity.
  • Lockable centre-stand deters unauthorised use.

Engine/Drivetrain

  • Lightweight 49cc four-stroke OHC liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine provides ample power for in-town riding.
  • Fuel-sipping constant-velocity (CV) carburettor with automatic choke.
  • Maintenance-free solid-state ignition system.
  • Simple push-button electric starter.
  • Starter system utilises the engine's brushless alternator (ACG) for starting, eliminating the need for a separate starter motor. This simple design requires no maintenance and lowers overall weight for even better fuel economy.
  • Solid-state electronic control unit (ECU) provides control for ignition timing, alternator regulator, ACG/starter, electric fuel pump and automatic choke.
  • Lightweight, maintenance-free, magnetically driven water pump eliminates the need for mechanical seals.
  • Compact engine-mounted radiator has aluminium fins for optimal cooling in all riding conditions.
  • Electromagnetic fuel pump is located in the fuel tank under the Metropolitan's floor and contributes to the excellent storage space under the seat.
  • Automatic cam-chain tensioner requires virtually no maintenance.
  • Ultra-quiet exhaust system.
  • Automatic Honda V-Matic belt-drive transmission provides spirited acceleration and requires virtually no maintenance.

Chassis/Suspension

  • Two-piece die cast aluminium chassis provides an optimum balance of light weight and rigidity for excellent handling.
  • Twin-downtube fork front provides 48mm of plush travel for a well-controlled ride.
  • Single-side aluminium swingarm with single-shock rear suspension has 66mm of travel for a compliant, comfortable ride.
  • Front and rear drum brakes offer predictable, powerful stopping power.
  • The Scoopy CBS brakes provide added control when slowing or stopping. Rider application of the front brake lever activates the front brake in conventional fashion. Application of the rear brake lever, mounted on the left handlebar, activates the rear brake and the front brake together; when only the rear brake lever is used, a proportioning mechanism gradually applies the front brake.
  • High-grip, high-kilometre tyres.
