2024 Honda Metropolitan: TAKE THE METRO.
Introducing the 2024 Honda Metropolitan…
Here’s a little secret everyone in Europe learned a long time ago: A scooter makes life about a thousand times easier, especially in the city. And here’s the second part of the secret: A scooter makes life a lot more fun too. Especially if you’re talking about one of the best scooters on the planet—the 2024 Honda Metropolitan. Features like its step-through design, no-shift automatic transmission and electric starter make it easy to operate. Lockable under-seat storage puts a big check in the practicality box. Classic scooter styling, epic fuel efficiency and world-famous Honda engineering make the Metropolitan the smartest choice you’ll make this year.
Purchase considerations for around-town transportation don’t get much more practical than affordability and reliability—both of which Honda’s Metropolitan offers in spades. Still, that doesn’t mean style can’t be a factor, as evidenced by this scooter’s European-inspired sleek, rounded bodywork. It also boasts utility-focused features including in-dash storage and a large under-seat storage compartment, as well as a convenient hook for securing a bag. From daily commuting to enjoying a Sunday coffee-shop outing, the Metropolitan makes getting around a lot more fun.
