Honda has announced the formation of Fastport, a new business-to-business micromobility venture, as part of its New Business Innovation Lab. Fastport will make its debut at Eurobike 2025 in Frankfurt, Germany, where Honda will unveil the prototype of its first product, the Fastport eQuad. The vehicle is designed to address last-mile delivery needs in urban areas through a bike-lane-compatible, zero-emission electric platform.

The Fastport eQuad is powered by swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack batteries and incorporates software-defined vehicle architecture. It features a pedal-by-wire pedal-assist system, regenerative braking, and a canopy with UV coating and ceramic tinting options. A ventilation fan and full-frontal enclosure are included for rider comfort. The vehicle’s design enables it to operate on uneven surfaces, and it offers automatic parking brakes.

Two versions of the eQuad will be available. The larger model measures 144 inches in length, 84 inches in height, and 48 inches in width, with a cargo box measuring 89 inches by 60 inches by 47.9 inches and a maximum payload of 650 pounds. The smaller version measures 133.9 inches by 82.7 inches by 39.4 inches, with a cargo box of 75 inches by 57.5 inches by 38.4 inches and a maximum payload of 320 pounds. Both versions have a top speed of 12 miles per hour. The range of the large model is up to 23 miles depending on payload, while range data for the small model is still under evaluation.

Production of the Fastport eQuad is scheduled to begin in late 2025, with mass production expected in the summer of 2026. Manufacturing will take place at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio. The facility has previously handled low-volume production of the Acura NSX and other specialty vehicles.

Fastport will also provide a Fleet-as-a-Service platform, which includes swappable batteries, customizable cargo modules, service plans, and an AI-driven fleet management system. The platform will support over-the-air software updates and cloud-based services.

The Fastport team includes researchers, designers, and engineers from Honda’s U.S. operations, and has engaged with logistics companies in North America and Europe for pilot testing. Fastport’s modular vehicle design is intended to allow for customization based on delivery needs and regional requirements.

The Fastport initiative is part of Honda’s broader strategy to expand into micromobility markets in both North America and Europe. Additional details and demonstrations will be presented at Eurobike 2025, which will take place June 25–29 in Frankfurt.
