Honda's Motocompo min motorcycle 50cc engine, 2 stroke - carry it like a briefcase

The Motocompo is a mini motorcycle or you could say scooter designed to fit inside a Honda compact car in the early 80's. According to Wikipedia http://esr.cc/vOs0Bu, the Honda City's trunk was designed around the scooter. I love it!

You can pick it up and carry it like a briefcase. The handlebars fold up and lock in place, pedals come out and you're off for a ride. My only fear would be cornering on this thing. Check out the video and you'll see what I mean.

The Motocompo mini motorcycle has a feul gage, signal lights, speed gage with a top speed of 30 KM per hour but surely the 50cc engine can take if faster with some tweaks.

Imagine you're stuck in traffic. Bumper to bumper. No, don't go crazy and do something that you'll regret. Simply park your four-wheel Honda, pull your Motocompo out of the trunk and say fuck it to traffic. Well until you're mistaken for a circus freak and marched back to your tent by small children. (No I don't know what that means exactly, but it was fun to write.)
