If it helps you picture what GN2 is saying:

An electric motor is more or less a generator (alternator) backwards, a neat trick with a change in circuitry
Electric in=motion out
Or do it backwards and
Motion in=electric out

That part is very old and proven going back to early machinery and is often used where light weight is a priority (aircraft)

I'm sure I've seen petrol engined golf buggies with that system. Just put your foot on the accelerator of a buggie with stopped engine and .....vrooom, off you go!
Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

I was just having a looksee on Honda Uk at the Forza 125 and thinking that it might be a nice little commuter upgrade from my Vision 110.

But not at that price. No way.

I haven't seen the price gn2. But if it is replacing the S-wing then it may have a similarly high price tag.

This is speculation on my part.

Price should be simlar to the Xmax I reckon.
Which is a shitload of cash for a 125.

The bike is on the honda website but no price info.
I like the looks and the features. Especially the larger underseat area. I'm interested in the fast road capability that Honda are pushing for this scoot -but it is still a small 125.

Fast my arse.
Its got no more than 15 horses.
70 mph maybe on the flat but not uphill or into a headwind.

I enquired about the arrival date for the Forza 125 and was told that it will be in the UK, in the Summer!

The summer is a long way away and goes on for several months. So we shall have to content ourselves with mulling over the new H2 and H2R.
