Honda Wave 110i arrives
Honda’s Wave 110i is now available at UK dealers.
Marketed as a modern interpretation of the renowned Super Cub, the new scooter promises a low purchase price combined with even lower running costs.
At £1,800 on the road, the Wave 110i costs just £1 more than the Kymco City 125 and the Daelim Citi Ace 110, two of its intended large-wheel scooter rivals. That price tag is also shared with the Honda Vision 110, so there’s the potential for some intra-brand sales substitution between both models.
Power comes from a 109 cc four-stroke, air-cooled, fuel-injection engine producing 8.42 bhp (6.28 kW / 8.53 PS) and 8.65 Nm (6.37 lb/ft) of torque. Honda reckons that the Wave 110i will travel over 130 miles (210 kilometres) on a tank-full so, with a capacity of 3.7 litres, that means an average fuel economy figure of 159.7 mpg (1.8 l/100km).
It might not be as cheap as walking, but using a Wave 110i for the daily commute could well end up being less expensive than taking the bus. And, as an added benefit, there’d be no risk of having to spend the entire journey wedged up against someone with dubious personal hygiene habits.

These aren't large wheel scooters..
ReplyDeleteThey have footpegs not a footboard.
they are step through motorcycles.
The definition is also blurred by the transmission - the 110i might not have a clutch lever, but that doesn't make it a true 'twist and go' bike because gears have to be selected via a foot pedal.
DeleteNevertheless, Honda seems adamant that the 110i is part of its scooter range...
