Honda Metropolitan Ii Top Speed

Honda Metropolitan Ii Top Speed

When it comes to agile urban mobility, the 2020 Honda Metropolitan is tough to beat. The smallest Honda scooter weighs just 179 pounds with its 1.2-gallon fuel tank topped off, and its wheelbase a short 46.5 inches. The Metropolitan's 10-inch wheels make it highly maneuverable, as does a rake just over 26 degrees.

You won't be intimidated by the power produced by the undersquare 49.4cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected four-stroke, and that's the idea. Instead, you'll need to learn to twist the throttle aggressively to keep up with traffic, even in a crowded city. Top speed is just 35 mph, and if there's a hill on the menu, maximum velocity goes even lower.

Just as the 2020 Honda Metropolitan's power won't frighten a new rider, the brakes are also gentle. Drums are used at both ends, and if you use the left-hand brake lever, you get combined front/rear braking. The right-hand lever is front-brake only, and is considerably less effective.

A defining part of the scooter experience is cargo carrying, and the Metro's underseat cavern swallows up 22 liters. Plus, there's an exterior hook for you to hang a tote bag.

The ergonomics are understandably compact, with 5' 7" probably being the sweet spot. Certainly, the 28.3-inch seat height makes the 2020 Honda Metropolitan approachable to almost anyone interested in getting around town on two wheels.
