Overview
The 2026 Honda Ape is a minibike with a 99 cm³, air-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine producing 7 hp (5 kW). It weighs 82 kg.
Its 714 mm seat height makes it easier to get a foot down at stops, while the 82 kg weight helps when maneuvering at low speed. Ground clearance is 160 mm. A five-speed gearbox gives a range of ratios to work with, and the 5.7 L tank sets the amount of fuel carried between stops; the front and rear brakes are mechanical drum types.
