The plain Jane Honda Innova gets 100 mpg and tops out at 55 mph, which puts it somewhere between a honda metropolitan and a kawasaki in terms of badassness. However, longtime recumbent bicyclist, scooter aficionado, and Dutchman (of course) Allert Jacobs took a look at his little Honda scooter and decided to ratchet up the badassness factor by improving the scooters design with an aerodynamic carbon body.

A stock Innova weighs in at 231lbs and features a fuel injected, four stroke 125cc engine that gets 114mpg. Allert decided to start his modifications by increasing the aerodynamics of the Honda scooter. The first thing he did was drop the riding level by installing a recumbent bike seat. Then he created an aerodynamic body casing. These minor improvements upped Allert’s scooter from 55mph to 71mph, allowing the rider to comfortably ride on the highway.

Next, he turned to the engines mechanics. He optimized the gearbox and reduced the engine speed earning him a huge bump in fuel efficiency from 100mpg to 214mpg.  Together these mods have turned this stock Innova scooter into an eco powerhouse, capable of making any econaught green with envy.
