According to Department of Energy (DOE) Director Patrick Aquino, out of the 9,666 registered electric vehicles in the country, 8100, or 84%, are e-scooters, e-bikes, and e-trikes. This doesn’t even include those EVs that fall under the L1a, L1b, and L2a classifications because these are not required to be registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO). Naturally, these types of EVs will be the forerunners in the shift to electric mobility simply because they are more accessible to a more s

Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) has been dominating the local scooter scene in recent years, and it seems Honda is bent on keeping it that way for the years to come. Honda has been covering all bases with a presence in all market segments. It even has four models just in the 160cc scooter segment. For the adventurous rider, they have the ADV160; for the executive on the go, there’s the PCX160; and the Click160 is for those who would like to have some oomph in their commuting.

Less than a month ago, we received confirmation that Mitsukoshi Motor, the official distributor of SYM in the Philippines, will be bringing in the SYM - GPX Drone 150 soon. To the delight of many scooter fans, it came sooner than expected. Kudos to Mitsukoshi for making it available just in time for riding season and for going with the model name Jet X150 to ride on the popularity of the SYM Jet scooter series. The SYM Jet X150 features a 150cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve, single-cylinder engine that

Long have motorcycle riders over-poeticized the joy of riding motorcycles. Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), however, takes it to another level by giving science-based facts on the health benefits of riding motorcycles. Honda cites findings in studies made by the Mayo Clinic and UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior on the effects of motorcycling on a person’s brain activity and hormone levels. While the studies made no distinction on the type of motorcycles used, Honda claims t

The Taiwanese brand SYM’s current popularity in the local market is but a pale shadow of the prestige it enjoyed about a decade ago. While its distributor, Mitsukoshi Motors, ranked 6th place in 2022 in terms of market share, this could be credited to the success of the other brands in its repertoire such as Keeway and Euro Motor. Yet, we received confirmation that SYM will finally be launching the GPX Drone 150 anytime soon, our best guess is in March, and it would seem this will be a comeback

In recent months, Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) has been quite busy beefing up its product line-up to cater to the growing scooter market. In fact, they just did consecutive launches of four 160cc scooters this year. Two of which are the PCX160 and the ADV160. Probably the yin and yang in the scooter category, the PCX160 and the ADV160 are polar opposites while being essentially the same. They share a common platform, after all. Both run on a 157cc, 4-Valve, liquid-cooled engine that produces 11.

Ang pinaka-primary function ng mga scooters natin sa ating garahe ay "pang-serbis" o pang personal na commute. Hassle-free nga kasi ang mga ito gamitin at madali ka makakarating from point A to point B. Pero noong dumating ang time para kay Dexter Requilman, isang video editor at vlogger, na mag-upgrade ng ride niya, iisa lang ang naisip niyang bilhin. "Coming from a lower-cc engine scooter, I desired more power for my daily needs" (Galing ako mas lower displacement na scooter, at dumating yung
