As electric motorcycles gain more and more traction the world is beginning to take notice, with Honda finally revealing its new EV-neo electric scooter prototype. Honda plans to start leasing the EV-neo in Japan in December of this year, although still no word on when it’ll hit US markets. The EV-neo electric-scooter is equipped with Toshiba lithium-ion batteries and a brushless motor which will accommodate over 18 miles of range on a single charge (a standard 100V power source will take about 4 hours to fully charge). No specifics were given on performance, but Honda stated that the “EV-neo provides performance equivalent to that of mass-market under-50cc gasoline engine motorcycles.”
