Aside from being the best electric scooter for kids, Honda's new Motocompacto is probably the most adorable electric scooter we've seen in a while. Unveiled today (September 14), the Motocompacto is an electrified version of the Motocompo scooter, which existed briefly in the 1980s.

The Motocompacto looks like a rounded rectangle when folded, and when you ride it, you take out the wheels, handlebars, and seat and go. Here's everything you need to know about the Moto Compact.

The Moto Compact will cost $995 and will be available in November and can be ordered at motocompacto.honda.com or at Honda and Acura auto dealers.

By the looks of it, the Motocompacto will be sold only with a white body and tan leather seats and handlebars. The scooter's large white sides seem like the perfect place to put a bunch of stickers, which would otherwise detract from its neat appearance.

Don't expect motocompacts to be speed demons or long-distance transport. Compared to some of the best electric scooters, its top speed and range are closer to budget models that can be bought for around $400.

Honda's website states that the Motocompacto has a top speed of 15 mph and a range of up to 12 miles. Given that most electric scooter estimates are roughly double the range you can get in the real world, you can expect six to eight miles before you need to recharge. Fortunately, the battery can be filled in 3.6 hours.

The front-wheel drive motor has a peak output of 490W, which should be fine for gentle hills. However, most electric scooters are capable of 18-20 MPH, so the Moto Compact would be a bit slower.

When folded, the Motocompacto measures 29.2 x 21.1 x 3.7 inches. In ride mode, it is 38.1 x 35 x 17.2 inches. The scooter is on the heavier side, weighing 41 pounds, but should be easily stowed in a luggage rack or under a bus or train seat thanks to its easy-to-carry handle and slim profile.

According to Honda, the Moto Compact will also feature on-board storage, a digital speedometer, and a charging gauge. Judging from the images, it also has a headlight and taillight. There appears to be a smartphone holder in the center of the handlebar, which allows users to adjust the scooter's lighting and driving modes via a smartphone app.

The Moto Compact looks like a fun little electric scooter that pays homage to Honda's past. One of my biggest problems with electric scooters is that the handlebars tend to stick out, making them difficult to store under train seats.

If I ever get my hands on a Moto Compact, it won't be the fastest, but it will certainly be the most prominent.
