Often scooters are bought by people who have a small income and the main purpose of such a purchase will be ease of use. A large number of potential buyers live in rural areas, so they may need a cargo scooter for transportation.
Fortunately, scooters for transporting cargo have long been created by the Japanese company Honda. They have several features, the main ones being the presence of 3 wheels and a large cargo compartment.
pros
- simple and convenient control;
- unpretentious to repair and operation;
- high maximum speed for this type;
- excellent load capacity;
- convenient driver location.
Features of the cargo scooter
Today, the range of cargo scooters is not as wide as we would like; there are only a couple of models, and most of them are made in Japan. But if you want to buy an inexpensive scooter with heavy loads, take the Honda Gyro - it has a price that is much lower than a motorcycle with similar technical characteristics. There is also a certain classification of a cargo scooter; it can be either single or double. If you have big plans for a scooter in terms of transportation, choose the two-seater modification.
When choosing a cargo scooter, first of all, decide on your future cargo, because a scooter will not always be able to cope with its huge dimensions or weight. You can look at the photo of the Honda Gyro where you will see the small size of the cargo area. You can easily fit the bag in there and secure it with the support side handles on which you can stretch the rubber. And thanks to the presence of three wheels, the scooter can also transport cargo safely, even if the driver is an inexperienced driver.
Honda Gyro Up 50: Japanese cargo scooter (with mileage)
The three-wheeled scooter Honda Gyro Up is designed for transporting small loads at any time of the year. The Japanese single-seater scooter is equipped with a reliable two-stroke single-cylinder engine. At a speed limit of 30 km/h, fuel consumption is only 1.95 liters per 100 km, and to increase traffic safety, its maximum speed (60 km/h) is electronically limited.
On roads with various types of surfaces, the Honda Driro Up has excellent stability, which is achieved thanks to two rear wheels with high-profile tires and low-pressure tires. This is also facilitated by a durable frame, energy-intensive shock absorbers, a front suspension with a lever fork and a rear suspension equipped with a pendulum, which is combined with the power unit.
The wide rear cargo area has limit rails and securing hooks, thanks to which the transported cargo is quickly and securely secured. It is also possible to firmly attach a closed plastic case to it. In addition to the rear luggage area, the Japanese cargo tricycle is equipped with a small front luggage rack, which, if desired, can be replaced with a spacious basket.
The compact cargo scooters Honda Gyro Ap 50 were produced in Japan from 1982 to 2008, so these days you can only buy it with mileage. However, you should not be upset, since the quality of Japanese assembly, operation exclusively on the roads of the Land of the Rising Sun and our proprietary pre-sale preparation guarantee the reliability of a used scooter for years to come.
Before being sent to the buyer, each used scooter undergoes thorough diagnostics and high-quality pre-sale preparation. The amount of preparatory work for each scooter is different and depends on the year of its manufacture, operational condition and mileage. All consumable parts and materials are guaranteed to be replaced with original new ones before the tricycle is sold.
A number of parts of a scooter-truck are subject to mandatory replacement: battery, tires and tyres, brake pads, spark plug, air and fuel filters, counterweights and variator belt, clutch plate, as well as operating fluids (motor and transmission oils, brake fluid).
We offer the sale of used Japanese scooters, the price of which depends on the condition of the equipment, year of manufacture and mileage. You can buy a used cargo scooter from Japan in our online store by calling or placing an order through the store basket. Depending on your budget, our sales staff will be happy to help you determine the optimal options.
Economical and compact three-wheeled scooter-trucks Honda Gyro Up 50 are ideal for use as courier transport. Thanks to two wide low-pressure rear wheels, scooters can be used all year round, including on snow. On such a tricycle you can conveniently and quickly deliver all kinds of orders: parcels, pizza and other small-sized cargo.
Honda Gyro Scooter with Roof
Recently, a new modification of the Honda Giro scooter was released, and unlike the initial version, it received a comfortable driver’s seat, the possibility of a closed cargo compartment and a roof. Also, the new Honda Gyro comes in two versions. The first version TA-01 received a simple 2-stroke engine, and in the second version TA-03 the scooter has a 4-stroke engine with liquid cooling capability.
How much does it cost and where to buy
The Honda Giro Canopy moped ceased production in 2012, so at the moment you can only purchase a used scooter. The average price range in the city of Moscow depends on the modification of equipment and its technical condition. The average figures are settled in the range from 90 to 120 thousand rubles . Popular banks issue loans for purchases on favorable terms without any problems. Transport companies that cooperate with specialty stores can deliver your purchase to your home.
Prices for a used moped in Ukraine range from 450 to 950 dollars. The purchase can be delivered to your home or by Autolux.
Specifications of Honda Gyro Canony
Despite some differences between the scooters in engine characteristics, both received a lot of the same data, because each version is equipped with a power of 5 horsepower and 6,500 rpm, with a volume of 49.9 cm3. The dry weight of the Honda Gyro Canony scooter was as much as 120 kg, but the model is capable of achieving a maximum speed of up to 60 km per hour. But satisfied owners claim that the maximum speed is limited, so with the appropriate settings you can get increased speed.
Unlike older scooter models, the new product is more suitable for use around the city, as evidenced by its stylish appearance and versatility. Accordingly, the Honda Gyro received a stylish appearance, a universal suspension and a ground clearance of 17 cm. If you live in the city, then you have seen a similar scooter on the roads more than once. Due to its practicality and wide range of uses, the scooter is often used by online stores or other companies providing small cargo delivery.
Review
Honda Canopy has a nondescript appearance. Behind the driver's seat there is a high-capacity trunk. The trunk is equipped with a convenient locking mechanism and a moisture protection function. You can easily fit medium bags inside.
The Canopy Combo scooter consumes only 2.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. This makes it possible to use the scooter throughout the year without fear of running out of fuel or lack of other resources.
Like other scooters from the Japanese manufacturer, this model also underwent tuning and modernization. Depending on the year of manufacture, they were equipped with TA-03, TA02 engines and their modifications. This entails a difference in some technical characteristics from the basic ones.

Honda Gyro Review
Modern cargo scooters are great for the city, therefore, due to their convenience and the presence of all the necessary characteristics, the Honda Gyro is in great demand among online stores and fast delivery services.
If you've heard a lot about the quality of Japanese technology, then most likely you will be confident in the Honda Gyro Canony. Repairing a cargo scooter is quite simple; no special innovations have been noticed in terms of design. But new cargo scooters have one big disadvantage - they are overpriced. Of course, new Japanese equipment today costs a lot, but the price of the Honda Gyro today is about $9,000, which is quite a lot for small companies. But this does not greatly discourage the owners of courier services, because most companies buy a moped because of its efficiency, small dimensions and, accordingly, fast delivery of the necessary cargo.
To solve the price problem, sellers bring used tricycles from Japan, which subsequently undergo major repairs (replacement of tires, batteries, filters, etc.). In Japan, such equipment is used carefully, so other countries receive excellent specimens even 10 years old. As a result, the seller puts the price at approximately $3,000, which is much lower than a new scooter.
Conclusion
After we have examined the main advantages of a cargo scooter and its approximate cost, we can draw certain conclusions. Japanese quality and practicality are confirmed in any manufactured equipment, so the modern Honda Gyro Canony cargo scooter is an ideal option for transporting small and compact cargo. Also, if you are interested in modern technology with three wheels, check out this interesting review about the new Ural motorcycles of the 2015 model year.
Honda Gyro X: Japanese three-wheeled scooter (new)
The Japanese scooter Honda Gyro X is a fairly fast, but extremely safe tricycle that is suitable for both experienced riders and beginners. Thanks to the automatic transmission and three wheels, almost any adult and even a teenager can drive it. Japanese scooters are very reliable, therefore, with proper careful handling, they do not require special maintenance. It is enough to follow the simplest instructions, and the scooter will serve you for many years.
All Japanese scooters of the “Gyro” series, by the way, produced since 1982, have a skewing mechanism, which consists of two parts: front and rear. The scooter body (the main front part), through a movable articulated base, rests on a rear bogie, consisting of a 50 cm³ gasoline engine and two rear wheels. When maneuvering, the rear trolley does not change its position relative to the road surface, and the main part of the scooter tilts towards the turn.
The three-wheeled scooter Honda Giro X is, first of all, high Japanese quality and practicality, comfort and functionality. Cost-effectiveness, stylish exterior, comfortable driving position and ease of operation, excellent stability while driving, the presence of a small front and spacious rear trunk, as well as many other advantages, make this compact scooter an equally effective vehicle in urban environments and in rural areas.
Companies that require prompt courier delivery are often keen to buy a new Honda Gyro X scooter. These companies include small cargo delivery companies: online stores, pizzerias, restaurants, cafes, sushi bars, etc. For an ordinary citizen, the price of a three-wheeled scooter without mileage is decent, but for a commercial organization it is quite acceptable. However, private buyers should not despair, because you can always buy such a used scooter.
Our online store sells new Honda Giro X scooters on order. After making an advance payment, the buyer will need 30-40 days of waiting. This is exactly how much we will need to deliver the scooter from Japan. For those who don’t want to wait, we can offer used tricycles of this model at a lower price, with our proprietary pre-sale preparation, during which all consumable parts are replaced with original new ones, including oils and operating fluids.
The single-seater Honda Gyro X 50 scooter will not disappoint its owner. The low-pressure rear wheels allow the scooter to be used on country dirt roads, not excluding the winter period. Having a scooter on three wheels in a village, in a country house or for a resident of a small village is very convenient and practical. The speed of 60 km/h, by the way, is limited to this value to increase safety, and two trunks allow you to quickly move short distances and transport light loads.
