Engine feel: 109cc air-cooled single-cylinder

The Navi uses a 109cc air-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine designed for easy, approachable power delivery. In real riding, that translates to smooth low-speed response for neighborhood streets, campus cruising, and short commutes around San Diego.

Because it’s lightweight (listed at 234 lb curb weight), the Navi feels lively when you roll on the throttle from a stop. It’s also a great platform for riders who want a simple, low-stress machine that’s easy to manage in traffic and parking lots.

Performance tip
For the best response, keep tire pressures set correctly and avoid carrying unnecessary cargo—small changes can noticeably affect acceleration on a mini-moto.

Transmission & acceleration: Automatic V-Matic belt drive

What it means on the road
The Automatic V-Matic belt drive removes shifting from the equation. Twist the throttle and go—ideal for new riders, stop-and-go city riding, and anyone who wants scooter-like simplicity with mini-moto style.
Riding confidence
With no clutch work, you can focus on smooth throttle control, scanning traffic, and braking technique. It’s a friendly setup for building skills before moving to a manual-transmission motorcycle.

Braking & control: Combined Braking System (CBS)

The Navi is equipped with 130mm drum brakes front and rear and Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS). CBS is designed to help balance braking forces for more stable stops—especially helpful for newer riders learning smooth, consistent braking.

Everyday stopping feel
Expect predictable braking for city speeds. Practice progressive lever pressure in a safe area to get a feel for how the bike settles under braking.

Efficiency & range: built for frequent rides

Honda lists over 70 MPG* (estimate; your actual mileage will vary). Pair that with a 0.9-gallon fuel tank (including reserve), and the Navi is set up for quick errands and regular around-town use.

If your riding includes hills, heavier loads, or lots of wide-open throttle, plan for reduced mileage. Keeping up with routine maintenance and correct tire pressure helps the Navi stay consistent.

*Fuel economy note
Fuel economy estimates are based on EPA test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes. Real-world results vary with riding style, maintenance, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, accessories, cargo, and rider/passenger weight.
