Brian Kou关于Scooters · Asian Motorcycle Markets的点评

This is big news to me. In Vietnam, scooters are life itself. And now Honda's producing electric ones locally there. So — what about under-seat storage? What about range and charging? The questions never stop. There's a certain sadness in electrification, but honestly, I'd love to see what it looks like when electric scooters blend into that city.

Being late might be exactly why they're going all-in on local production to catch up fast.

Didn't know Vietnam was that big a motorcycle nation, and it makes sense paired with the air quality story.

Local production should help keep prices down, question is how far they can push it with the battery included.

Yamaha's also brought out the Gear 125 hybrid, so the fight for dominance in Vietnam is heating up.

What's Vietnam's actual motorcycle penetration rate — no doubt it's world-class though.

That 'as early as September' phrasing feels a bit non-committal, seems like it could slip.

Motorcycle exhaust has a huge impact on Vietnam's air quality problem, so Honda going electric there really matters.
