The base price is about half what the company gets for its bigger 300cc Forza scooter, and just $400 more than the cost of the company’s stripped-down 50cc Ruckus. The Grom is easy to ride, easy to park and, at a projected 100 miles per gallon, cheap to operate. For a street-legal machine, it’s a spare nubbin of a thing that, fully fueled, weighs only 225 pounds.Īt that weight, there’s enough power to zip through city traffic but not enough to keep up with “big” motorcycles, like the ones the Beach Boys were singing about in “Little Honda.” But it has the look of a shrunken street bike and comes equipped with disc brakes and a four-speed manual transmission.
