Car seems a stretch, go-cart maybe?

I still like the Honda Motocompo more.

Is it impractical? Yes. Does 34 year old me want it? Also yes.

Was this the inspiration for Super Mario Kart?

Try taking it out on any public road or riding through any city on that thing! Even if you did lug it around, what about any other stuff you might have? Just carrying a two-stroke engine with fuel and oil in it would be bad enough. Just can't imagine any practical use.

Pretty sure it's on wheels when in suitcase form, so you don't have to carry it. Looks like he's pulling it

There were a lot of these, going back to the 1970s. Mike Jittlov (yes, his name sounds funny) built one and used it in his excellent movie The Wizard of Speed and Time, for instance, which came out in 1988.

Honda made a concept van that had an electric Motocompo inside the sliding doors on each side. They recharged while in the doors. Open door, slide out scooter, unfold and go.

No it was obviously iron man 2 when Tony Stark had his suit in a briefcase and he used it at an f1 racing track.

It’s as much as a car as Andrew Tate is a man.

So it is a car? Just a dumb, douche, racist, car that belongs in prison?

Agreed. Hardly a car if can’t carry more than one person.

Barely seems to be able to carry you and any additional luggage so I see almost no point

Only advantage: a guy named Mario challenges you on the spot.

If you are sitting on the engine, then it is a hazard.

But you cannot bring additional luggage on the plane anyways, as your car already takes up all your baggage allowance.

Once upon a time Mazda was fun and cool. Now they churn out soccer mom mobiles by the millions and have no soul.
