With a length of just 2,5 meters and a width of 1,25 meters, the new Japanese model is powered by an electric motor and a 15kW lithium-ion battery.

The new Honda Micro Commuter has enough space for a driver and two kids in the back. Marketed as a short distance electric vehicle, the model is certainly designed for Japan as this is the trend that the big metropolis is going to be following.
