Honda is recruiting 500 testers in Tokyo, Japan, to try out their new electric scooter, the “EM1 e:,” for free over a 60-day period.

Participants will receive the scooter, a charger, and a top case, and will only need to worry about securely storing the scooter and covering the costs of electricity and any potential damages.
While electric vehicles are ideal for short trips in urban areas, the lack of proper infrastructure can be a barrier. Additionally, range and cost issues are still relevant for electric motorcycles, which may deter widespread adoption.
Interested individuals must agree to certain rules, such as responsibilities in case of accidents and returning the scooter at the end of the test period. However, there is an option to purchase the scooter at the end of the loan period for those who fall in love with the “EM1 e:.”
Honda encourages participants to share their experiences on social media during the test.
