I get it, but Yamaha scooters aren’t always the best alternative, some models cut corners on build quality and features...maybe consider other options?

Yep real-world range always dips, especially with weight or hills, a bit more buffer would make it way more practical.

Yeah, a 30-mile range could work for city commuting if your trips are short and you’ve got easy access to charging, just keep in mind that things like weather, hills, and battery wear can eat into that range over time.

My Rav4 gets 42 miles of range, and honestly, it’s fine, and even handles freeway speeds. A Honda scooter isn’t hitting the freeway, but 30 miles should still be plenty to get around and back to a charger. I think...

Honda has a few electric motorcycles in the works, like the EM1 e: and future models, they're quiet serious, but performance still lags behind gas bikes, and progress is so slow.

No exact dates yet

Yeah, that speed could make it tricky in traffic, especially if it's too slow for roads but too fast for bike lanes, it feels like it’s stuck between categories.

Honda’s reputation for reliability and quality could give the U-GO an edge, if the range checks out, it’s a good commuter choice.

Yeah the U-GO’s affordability and low costs are appealing, but 43 km/h might be a bit slow for urban areas with faster traffic, a bit more power would definitely help.

At that price, the U-GO could be perfect for city commuting, especially for short trips. The lower top speed might limit highway use, but it’s still promising...

I read a post on reddit where someone said, “Wow, this model will fail. It’s an e-bike dressed as a scooter.” I kinda see their point, it seems more like a low-powered e-bike than a real scooter. What do you think? Does it have a chance, or is it doomed from the start?

Honda has introduced the U-GO electric scooter, aiming to offer an affordable and practical option for urban riders. With its sleek design and budget-friendly pricing, it's positioned as a strong competitor to NIU’s electric scooters. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs in real-world...
