The bike also gains LED lighting, while the instrument cluster combines an analogue speedo with a modern, yet “understated”, digital display. The Super Cub is powered by a 125cc air-cooled fuel-injected single-cylinder engine, matched with a three-speed automatic gearbox.Ĭompared to the original design, the new C125 features longer travel front and rear suspension, 17-inch cast aluminium wheels and a disc brake at the front.

The 2020 Honda Super Cub is priced from $6199 plus on-road costs. Speaking of, the new Honda C125 Super Cub launched earlier this year from $6199 plus on-road costs, and is available in two colours: Pearl and Nebula Red. The new model benefits from an electric start, ABS, LED lighting and a digital display, and features an increased wheel base, seat height and upswept handlebars compared to the Super Cub upon which it’s based. The new bike is based on the brand’s Super Cub chassis, and features a 125cc single-cylinder engine matched with a four-speed semi-automatic transmission. To meet modern standards, the CT125 is ABS equipped. “While simplifying the surface of each part on the frame, we carefully took the symbolic features of the CT series, including the upswept muffler, air cleaner cover, fuel tank, large carrier and steel front fender and created a balanced new image of the tough old CT,” said Honda Australia in a press release. Honda has done well to retain the original bike’s distinctive looks. (Shame that most of them will be powered by electricity from coal-fired power stations!)Īustralia Post will also roll out an additional 4000 electric pushbikes, bringing its total to 5980 over the next three years.Despite this, the Honda CT125 will likely sell thanks to its particular nostalgic charm, but those looking for function-over-form will surely look elsewhere. “They will also help us achieve our commitment of reducing our carbon emissions by 25% by 2020.” “Our posties love the eDVs because they demonstrate our commitment to providing safer and more sustainable employment into the future, given consumers are sending fewer letters and relying more and more on their postie to deliver their parcels. We have worked closely with our posties to make improvements along the way. “We started trialling eDVs in 2017 and we’ve since deployed them in all states. They are easier to see on the road, more stable, have increased rider protection and lower on-road speeds, all of which reduce a postie’s exposure to incidents and serious accidents,” he says. “The eDVs are safer than the traditional motorcycle. “These vehicles offer additional carrying capacity, so our posties can deliver more parcels than ever before directly to the customer’s door – and can perform additional functions, such as collecting mail from street posting boxes.” ‘Safer and greener’Īlong with delivery benefits, Bob reckons the electric vehicles also have safety and environmental benefits.
“With parcel volumes growing – on average, close to 10% each year for the last three years – and letter volumes declining, we’re always looking for ways to ensure our posties continue to play an important and sustainable role in the community,” he says. Australia Post Group Chief Operating Officer Bob Black says the 1000 eDVs will become the nation’s largest electric vehicle fleet.
