http://www.gizmag.com Honda has released images of several new eco-friendly two-wheelers it will present at the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, including the EV-Cub electric motorcycle, the EVE-neo electric scooter and its previously-announced PCX global scooter, the first two-wheeler to employ an 'idling stop system'. The most interesting of the new eco-bikes is without doubt the EV-Cub, which employs what appears to be car2car and car2driver communications dubbed HELLO! (Honda ELectric mobility LOop) and a LOOP portable communication tool that fits in the palm of one’s hand and “allows people and mobility devices to communicate with each other.” The EV-Cub also appears to have electric motors in both front and rear wheels, indicating that it is almost certainly a two-wheel-drive (2WD) motorcycle. 2WD motorcycles are expected to become commonplace in the future as, like their 4WD automotive cousins, they offer traction advantages on loose surfaces and wet roads and improve rider safety, especially for learners.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-107665 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-107665 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:33:26 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-16114 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-16114 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:31:57 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-9100 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-9100 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:28:39 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-9076 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-9076 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:36:19 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8992 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8992 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:22:52 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8983 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8983 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:57:47 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8971 http://www.gizmag.com/honda-2wd-electric-motorcycle-tokyo-motor-show/12991/#comment-8971 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:06:50 -0500
