Latest Patent Reveals an Electric Honda Super Cub Under Development

Latest Patent Reveals an Electric Honda Super Cub Under Development

The latest patent reveals Honda is working on an electric Honda Super Cub and here is everything you need to know!

Honda has been teasing us for some time with their EV-Cub concept. First showcased in 2009 during Tokyo Motorshow, the production of the EV-Cub was initially planned for 2010. However, sadly that didn’t happen. Later in 2016, the company promised again that the EV-Cub would come to reality soon. Well,  four years later, the latest patent from Honda suggests an electric Honda Super Cub is under development. Judging from the patent, it looks like Honda is actually sticking with their promise and the company is making a progress on the design.

Patent Details


The patent was originally granted in 2018, however, it was published publicly a week ago with the title: ” Battery case structure for electric-powered vehicles and electric powered vehicle.”

The patent doesn’t specify the name of the bike; however, the bike shown in the patent looks very similar to the EV-Cub. Secondly, the patent doesn’t show a motor as this patent mainly focuses on the method for removing the battery off the bike.

As we know, most of the electric scooters and mopeds store the battery underneath the seat. However, with the patent, Honda is thinking in a different way to store the battery within the bike. Looking at the patent, the electric Super Cub uses a separate compartment on the side of the bike. Mounted between two frame members, the rider would have to simply tilt open the casing from the side to take off the battery. Does this mean the electric Cub would probably feature a removable battery that could be charged separately? Well, it looks like it!

Comparing this with the EV-Cub concept, the patented mechanism is what Honda used in the concept back then. This could mean two things: 1. Honda is planning to mass-produce something very similar to the EV-Cub soon or 2.  They are just patenting to make the mechanism exclusive for the brand.

If Honda were to roll mass-produce the electric Super Cub, we believe it would only happen in 2-3 years time. Patent leaks like this keep us in check so let’s wait for Honda to move ahead with the development and surprise us.
