Honda to lease their PCX e-scooter
« on: December 04, 2018, 09:04:23 PM »

Honda still is not ready to enter the consumer market with a real electric motorcycle, or even a highway capable electric scooter like the C-Evolution.  The best they seem to be willing to do is to lease a few hundred low-power, short-range, (but nice looking) electric scooters like their electric PCX as shown in this article:  https://electricmotorcycles.news/honda-to-begin-lease-sales-of-electric-scooter-pcx-electric/

How many more years (and Zero sales) will it take before one of the Japanese big four enter the electric motorcycle market?

Does the Yamaha trials bike count?

Not to me. I have yet to see a review of the bike in the U.S., nor any indication that they plan to sell it here. Plus, an electric trials bike is much easier to make than a highway-capable full-power electric motorcycle that will generate interest and sales in the general vehicle market. The trials bike market is very small here and I am not sure how large it is anywhere else, either.  ???
