Those seeking affordable urban transportation in a nonintimidating, twist-and-go package should seriously consider Honda’s Metropolitan scooter. It’s lightweight, at just 179 pounds with a full tank of fuel, has an automatic transmission, electric start, and combined braking that links the front and rear brakes for effective stopping all the time.
Power comes from a 49cc four-stroke engine that utilizes Programmed Fuel Injection for efficient fuel delivery and good mileage. Convenience features include 22 liters of underseat storage, a hook in front of the rider’s legs to hang a tote bag or groceries, while an accessory rack can be added to the rear for additional storage.
The 2025 Honda Metropolitan is available in either red or Denim Blue Metallic for $2,649.
