2021 Honda Genio Standard Engine Specs

Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) just posted a teaser on its Facebook page, which offers a glimpse of the rear wheel of the model that is to be launched on September 23 at the upcoming Honda Moto Fair to be held at Market! Market! In Taguig City. Based on that and on the caption, “Get ready for a new look,” we could probably say with a fair amount of certainty that there will be no Vision or Lead that is going to be unveiled on that day. What we’ll likely have is version 3 of the popular BeAT scoote

Vintage Rider Manila (VRM) is widely known as a classic motorcycle helmet brand. Well, VRM has just expanded its product line with VRUM Helmets, which is a line of modern helmets from a Filipino brand. The company said its offerings take into account the country's climate, along with the fit, weight and utility sought by Filipino riders. VRUM was created to provide the everyday rider with a "safe, stylish, comfortable and affordable helmet." It features an impact-resistant ABS shell, a shock-abs

Our colleagues from Autofun Indonesia have been closely monitoring a very hot topic about the Enhanced Smart Architecture Frames (eSAF) used on popular Honda scooter models in their market. A number of Indonesian owners of Honda models complain about pre-mature rusting and alleged material quality issues of the eSAF frames on their scooters. What a relief! It has already become viral, and sales of some Honda models in Indonesia, the Honda BeAT Fi, in particular, have already plummeted. The Honda

Why summertime is called “riding season” is beyond me. Personally, I think the best time to ride is between September and February when we have milder and cooler weather. While motorcycle riding for some is a matter of choice, it is a matter of necessity for others. So if you have to ride under the sun, remember to keep hydrated to avoid health concerns. We highly recommend to always bring one of those thermal steel water bottles that are all the rage these days. Just say no to single-use plasti

The KYMCO DT X360 adventure scooter series finally gets a bigger, tollway-legal sibling as KYMCO unveils the CV-L6 at EICMA 2023. KYMCO announces that it will be available in the global market by 2024, and we are quite excited to see it plying Philippine roads…or trails. The KYMCO CV-L6 shares the platform of the widely popular AK 550, making it a potential big hit in the local market. The CV-L6 is powered by a 550.4cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin 8V engine, which produces 39.5 kW and 55 Nm. Wi

Just recently, Honda presented its SC e: electric scooter concept at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. It now makes its European debut at Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA) happening in Milan, Italy. This time, Honda announces that the SC e: is heading for production and will be commercially available in two years’ time. It will be one of the electric motorcycle models that Honda plans to launch by 2025. This is in line with Honda’s commitment to achieve carbon neutra

In a display of solidarity, 2,000 rider-partners from app-based moto taxi service provider MOVE IT gathered at the Liwasang Bonifacio in Manila, with leaders stepping forward to voice their collective concerns regarding the call to halt the operations of MOVE IT. This is after the House Committee on Metro Manila Development recently proposed the exclusion of MOVE IT from the pilot study on MC taxi services, citing concerns regarding its connections with Grab Philippines. Grab is a leading Transp

Among Honda’s exhibits at the recently held Japan Mobility Show (JMS) 2023 in Tokyo was the Honda SC e: electric scooter concept. Like the EM1 e:, which is currently available in European markets, the SC e: features removable/swappable battery packs to power its electric motor. The SC e:, however, can accommodate two batteries, which could extend its range up to 100 kilometers per full charge. Honda might still make some changes to other functions of the SC e: since it is still in its concept st

After its initial introduction on September 2023, the Honda Motocompacto finally made its debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo. Undeniably, it is the electric-powered reincarnation of Honda’s 50cc, two-stroke foldable mini scooter, the Motocompo. This was sold as an accessory option for Honda automobiles (City and Today) back in the early '80s. While both were designed to fit in most trunk spaces, the Motocompo was marketed as a spare vehicle, while the Motocompacto is presented as a m

Among those on display are some familiar-looking concepts and test models that can be expected to be introduced in the global market in the coming years. These two-wheelers are also base models for research in developing future Suzuki motorcycle techn

We Filipinos, at least based on my observation, don’t like to walk. Hence, the propagation of those ubiquitous tricycles that ferry passengers on their last mile (or first mile) journey. Whether you are going to the bus stop or just on your way to the neighborhood market, the so-called King of TODA (Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association) will literally pick you up from your doorstep so you can travel the short distance with relative ease. However, there is another three-wheeler in the trans
