Honda launched the Fastport eQuad, jumping into the growing microcargo vehicle scene. These small, four-wheeled, battery-assisted carriers zip around bike lanes, built to haul loads bigger than cargo e-bikes but stay compact enough to dodge traffic snarls.

The Fastport eQuad comes in two sizes, both smaller than a Mini Cooper but can carry from 320 to 650 pounds. Speed tops out at 12 mph to stay bike-lane legal. Pedals come standard, blending bike and electric vehicle features.

Power comes from Honda’s Mobile Power Pack batteries — 22 pounds each and swappable like Gogoro’s. Drivers grab the built-in handle and slide the battery into a caddy behind the cockpit.

Inside, the cockpit offers a bike seat, pedals, and a windscreen. A display guides routes. Honda pitches the eQuad as a software-defined vehicle promising “continuous value and improvements” over time, but didn’t detail those upgrades.

U.S. production shifts to Honda’s Ohio Performance Manufacturing Center, where they once hand-assembled Acura NSXs—500+ horsepower supercars hitting 191 mph. Now, these craftspeople will build eQuads for city logistics.

Fastport eQuad targets delivery firms keen to beat congestion with a nimble alternative.
