But Honda has come back into the e-bike market with the M-8 which if you look closely, or check the spec's has crack arms and otherwise seems, to my understanding of the Class 2 E-Bike standards.
And that's my point, it's a shocker, at least to me than Honda will be making e-bikes. As noted Honda is big in scooters, the worlds biggest. So their presence in the e-bike space with a very "Honda" like entrant will have an impact if they are sold in the lower 48.
