Honda has 100 million reasons to electrify the Super Cub – Here’s why it hasn’t
For years now, riders have been asking the same question: When is Honda finally going to give us a true-to-form electric Super Cub?
The gasoline-powered Honda Super Cub isn’t simply another small bike in the long history of mopeds and light motorcycles. It’s the best-selling motor vehicle in history, with more than 100 million units produced since its 1958 debut. The Cub helped motorize post-war Japan, democratized two-wheeled transport across Southeast Asia, and even carved out a cult following in the US with its step-through frame and famously approachable design. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the Super Cub is one of the most important vehicles ever built.
