We are striving to promote the electrification of commuter models, and we are planning to introduce some new models including an electric scooter in 2018.

We are currently working on the research and development of a highly-convenient system for electric commuters, which feature a detachable mobile battery that is easy to replace and/or recharge. We are considering to conduct demonstration testing of this mobile battery in collaboration with the Japan Post Co., Ltd. in Japan.

Seems like Honda are of the opinion that ELECTRIC power is in fact a necessity for the future, whether we agree with it or not.

The Mugen collaboration with Honda in this field could very well benefit those bikes at the TT.
