> [@lofarkas](#): > > That looks way more practical than the new electric suitcase. more practical to ride, less practical to lug around folded. the old gas-engine one weighed 99lbs with a full tank and was 46.7" long x 21.3" tall x 9.4" wide when folded up the new electric one weighs 45lbs and is 29.2" long x 21.1" tall x 3.7" wide when folded. I could get the electric one onto a bus or train without issue, the gas one would be a stretch. ---

Honda’s designers usually know what’s up. It’s probably designed to get onto Japanese trains without breaking the rules. You can take a bike on a train, but it has to fit in a bag. ---

> [@adem](#): > > more practical to ride, less practical to lug around folded. Yeah the new one is way more portable but I think they went too far with the shopping cart wheels. This is just a lime scooter with a seat… in fact it looks worse than a lime scooter. Look at the amount of travel the front suspension has: 1 inch, or possibly none. And are those wheels solid? They look like they might be. Imagine hitting a pothole. At that point you might be better off with one of these: ![image](https://cdn.tarck.cc/original/3X/0/d/0d8305648d75442c66164d1eea1640281918d15d.jpeg) ---

Yeah the Honda has better vibes than an ali express scooter but I’m not sure the functionality is much better ---

I’m bashing it because I think it’s a missed oppurtunity. They could have made a practical and fashionable pocket electrobike, but they went full designer nerdgasm with the suitcase shape and forgot all about practicality. I’m willing to bet a month’s wages there’s a huge amount of empty space near the seatpost, which is just super silly. ---

I suppose the silver lining is that the stealthy e-bikes aren’t likely to have a lot of range or oomph ---
