Shanghai Customs modified the retro 1970's Honda Cub into a sleek electric scooter that's ready for the modern age.
Electric bikes are the perfect hybrid of speed, agility and elegance, making the stylish 'Cub' an ideal candidate for an upgrade. With its all-black facade, this vehicle aimed to challenge traditional notions of electric bikes, which typically lack style in a tech-dominated scene. The minimalist scooter can help commuters buzz around the city in style, as the updated piece of equipment is equal parts stylish and speedy.
Described as a daily commuter vehicle, the 'eCub' serves as an example of the accessorizing environmentally friendliness to make it more appealing in major cities with higher carbon emissions. The modified Honda Cub is one of Shanghai Customs' numerous environmental initiatives.
