Gas prices have been the talk of the town for the past year. After all, we locally hit record highs almost reaching the three-digit mark, and adjustments are made almost every week courtesy of international supply issues. For those who’re more environmentally conscious or just want to save on expenses, going electric might be a viable option. If a scooter doesn’t look so appealing to you, then you may consider the attractive MUJI x Honda MS01 E-bike.
Yes, that MUJI. The brand famous for its iconic minimalistic Japanese-style design. They’ve dipped their toes in just about all types of products by now: furniture, stationery sets, bags, appliances, and so much more. It’s become clear: MUJI isn’t just another brand, it’s a way of living.
For this rather daring project, they’ve collaborated with none other than Honda to bring their vision of hassle-free transport to reality. The MUJI Honda MS01 has a distinct look that would fit into any cinematic setting with its sleek lines and clean aesthetic. Of course, it comes in white because any gaudy color would just not be symbolic. It also has large 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless unlocking, an LCD instrument panel, aluminum alloy handlebars, and LED front/tail lights.
There is no doubt that a factor when buying any electric vehicle is its range on a single charge. The MUJI Honda MS01 and its 400W motor will carefully sip its 48V lithium battery for a cruising range of 65km. That’s more than enough for a daily commute unless you live exceptionally far. The company claims you’ll only need to charge it around twice a week at most. Top speed is rated at around 25 km/h which definitely isn’t bad for a vehicle of this type. Especially considering how compact it is.
With all things considered, it’s still a limited release of 5,000 units for about $744 USD (PHP 41K). Would you get it if it was locally available on our shores with a warranty and parts availability?
