This is a big deal. Honda sells more step through scooters than anyone else. Particularly in SE Asia. Also it has pedals which technically makes it a moped/electric bicycle.
That said, it's a Honda. You can trace the current 50cc and 125cc step through scooters all the way back to the 1960s particularly the engine-frame bolt pattern. This makes interchangeable parts safe to design and manufacture as there's an enormous market for them. You could call them the Chevy small block 350 V8 of motorcycles.
Honda finally releasing a 50cc equivalent electric moped will instantly create an entire sub market of compatible parts and, unlike every other ebike manufacturer out there, Honda will still be there in 20 years, and you'll be able to buy parts for this off the shelf in 120+ counties worldwide.
