Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2017 Honda Tact, a charming and practical scooter that perfectly embodies Honda's commitment to reliability and efficiency. This compact two-wheeler is designed with urban commuting in mind, making it an ideal choice for riders in bustling cities. With its sleek underbone frame and a seat height of just 705 mm, the Tact presents a low center of gravity that not only enhances stability but also ensures that riders of all sizes can easily maneuver through traffic. Available in a delightful palette of colors ranging from vibrant yellows to subtle browns, the Tact stands out as a stylish mode of transportation that reflects both personality and practicality. At the heart of the Tact is a responsive 49cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that strikes a fantastic balance between power and fuel efficiency. The air-cooled engine, equipped with a carburetor, delivers a smooth ride while boasting an impressive fuel consumption rate of just 1.25 liters per 100 km—translating to an astonishing 188.18 mpg. This makes the Tact not only economical but also a stress-free option for those who dread frequent trips to the gas station. The automatic gearbox and belt final drive ensure a seamless riding experience, allowing riders to focus on enjoying the journey rather than worrying about shifting gears. The 2017 Honda Tact is packed with features that elevate its usability and comfort. Its spring-loaded hydraulic suspension, both front and rear, absorbs bumps and imperfections in the road, providing a smooth ride over varied terrains. The expanding drum brakes, while traditional, offer reliable stopping power, with both front and rear diameters measuring 130 mm. For added convenience, the scooter comes equipped with both electric and kick start options, allowing for quick startups whether you're in a rush or enjoying a leisurely ride. These thoughtful technologies make the Tact not just a means of transport, but a companion for daily adventures. **
