Let's Go For A Jaunty Ride Around A Park On A Honda Zook
Let's Go For A Jaunty Ride Around A Park On A Honda Zook-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:36

If you aren’t already following the Honda Japan on YouTube, you really ought to be, because they occasionally post some nifty little videos from the Honda Collection Hall museum. The videos often feature an obscure Honda ride—like the Zook here—that you may not have even heard of. While all of this is clearly going down in Japan, there isn’t any dialogue, so you don’t even need to know the language. Hondas speak the language of brap.

The Zook is a personal mobility device that looks like a bar stool stapled to a skate board with a 50cc two-stroke motor somehow wedged under it. Clearly a product of the ‘90s, the Zook is absolutely resplendent in the best shade of teal possible. It was only available in Japan, and was marketed toward trendy young riders for zipping around the city. More than anything, it was intended to be inexpensive, selling for the equivalent of about $650 US dollars in 1990.

With a brief walk-around, some ride-by shots, and a POV segment, the video is short and sweet, introducing you to something cool and new. I really want to import one to ride around during Radwood. Who wants to help me?

This Is The Deal With Those Little Door Keypads That Mostly Only Fords Have (UPDATE: There's A Few Others)
Since I was a kid, eagerly scrutinizing cars in parking lots, I remember noticing something that only showed up on a few brands of cars: Fords, Lincolns, and the occasional Mercury. That something was a set of five little buttons, each bearing a pair of numbers, placed near the...

BP Somehow Made A Profit In All Of This
BP Somehow Made A Profit In All Of This
With the average price of gas , I am equally surprised and dismayed that an oil giant like BP turned a profit in the third quarter. And that’s with profits down a staggering 96 percent compared to this time last year. BP is the first of the big oil...

Watching Unlisted Driving Videos From GM's Cruise Autonomous Cars Reveals Some Alarming Behavior
Watching Unlisted Driving Videos From GM's Cruise Autonomous Cars Reveals Some Alarming Behavior
Just in case anyone out there forgot, autonomous driving is hard. Incredibly hard. Getting two tons of inert wires and transistors and motors and lenses to somehow navigate a complex, real-world environment is almost comically difficult. The fact that we’re able to make machines that can do any of it...

Except it’s not. At...

Arcimoto Plans To Build 50,000 Electric Trikes Per Year And Will Deliver To Your Door In Partnership With DHL
