Super Cub debuted in 1958 with the slogan “You meet the nicest people on a Honda.” The 50cc kick start scooter has always been known for simple design and buzzing motor noise. With a top speed of 50 mph & 4-horse power, more than 60 million Cubs have been sold. At the Tokyo Motor Show an all-electric Super Cub concept, the Honda EV Cub, was unveiled.

Honda did not provide many details, but said the concept is designed “to be just as functional and convenient as its world famous predecessor.” They also claim a 282 miles per gallon per battery charge. We’d like to pro-order one!

The Super Cub was first introduced in 1958 and quickly became the most driven single-person mode of transit in Asia. During the early 1980′s Super Cub also became known as Passpot, Honda C100 & Honda 50, was so popular models from that generation are worth thousands of dollars even today. Maybe Honda should skip making robots and just stick to scooters.

The Symba brings back most much of that retro late 50′s early 60′s style of scooter-ing. With an auto-shifting gear, plastic molding and tiny engine, it’s a breeze to operate. And don’t forget a tag of $2,598 – almost anyone could use this little ride to get from Trader Joes to their West Philadelphia apartment.
