Priced at 59,800 yen at its launch, the vehicle was targeted at elderly riders and women who were not comfortable riding traditional, heavier mopeds and scooters. Following the massive success of the female-focused 1976 Honda Road Pal moped, the People was designed to look and feel almost identical to a conventional step-through lady's bicycle (popularly known in Japan as a \"mama-chari\") to maximize daily utility and approachability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eTechnical Specifications and Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe foundation of the Honda People was a lightweight steel pipe bicycle frame. It featured 24-inch spoked wheels, small drum brakes on both wheels, and weighed a remarkably light 24 kg dry. Underneath the pedal crank bracket sat a highly compact, air-cooled, 2-stroke, single-cylinder piston reed-valve engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWith a tiny displacement of just 24 cc, this remains the smallest displacement motorized transport Honda has ever manufactured. The engine produced a modest 0.7 ps (horsepower) at 4,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 0.14 kg-m at 3,000 rpm. To maintain its slim bicycle profile, it used a divided, dual-sided frame tank where 2\/3rds of the tank on the right side held gasoline, and the remaining 1\/3rd on the left side held 2-stroke oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eDrivetrain and Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThe Honda People was designed as a \"pedal and pop\" machine that relied on a friction-drive roller to propel the rear wheel. Its control setup featured a double-lever trigger mechanism on the right handlebar:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Red Lever:\u003c\/b\u003e This spring-loaded lever controlled the engine's physical position. Pulling it pushed the entire engine assembly upward, pressing its friction drive roller onto the rear tire to engage the drivetrain and automatically connect the ignition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Yellow Lever:\u003c\/b\u003e Located below the red trigger, this was the thumb-operated throttle lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eTo operate, riders would pedal the machine like a normal bicycle and then press the red lever to let the engine kick in and start running. Pulling the red lever back off its latch automatically cut the ignition and lifted the roller, allowing the rider to easily cruise under human pedal power alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eQuirks and Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDespite its tiny stature, the People boasted surprisingly comprehensive factory equipment. It was fitted with front and rear utility racks, a front cargo basket, a key-operated anti-theft wheel lock, and a complete 6V electrical system. This electrical setup powered exceptionally bright headlights and taillights, an electric horn, and flashing turn indicators that chirped with a soft electronic \"bird-tweeting\" sound when blinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003ePerformance and Collector Legacy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eOn the road, the People's performance was incredibly gentle, with a standard factory top speed of only about 18 km\/h. Because the engine was so small, riding up anything steeper than a minor incline required the rider to actively pedal to assist the motor. On flat ground, the engine ran so quietly and smoothly that it produced almost no noticeable exhaust smoke or engine noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eIts extreme rarity and unique design have made it a highly sought-after, nostalgic curiosity among vintage moped and Japanese motorcycle collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do offer a doorstep delivery service, we will need your postcode to quote you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Questions feel free to call Matt on 07501084121 or Henry on 07590964198 at a reasonable time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motorcycles For Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53475020046676,"sku":"AB17-1105688","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4892\/0148\/files\/Honda-people-autocycle-at-Moto-Classic-ukAppImage2026-05-29at10.31.20.jpg?v=1780060616"},{"product_id":"honda-people-autocycle-now-in-stock-awaiting-inspection","title":"Honda People Autocycle, Now in stock awaiting inspection","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonda People Autocycle, Now in stock awaiting inspection\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motorcycles For Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53809527488852,"sku":"AB17-1100840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/4892\/0148\/files\/011620240621_l__20597.jpg?v=1773082143"}],"url":"https:\/\/moto-classic.com\/collections\/classic-autocycles.oembed","provider":"Moto-Classic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
