And arguably there’s fun to boot. . .

The 2025 Grom is part of the miniMOTO model lineup that American Honda has on offer.

The “mini” is absolutely spot-on.

The bike has a 47.2-inch wheelbase and a seat height of 30 inches. It weighs just 224 pounds.

The Grom has a 124-cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. (It meets current EPA and even CARB standards.) It has a five-speed transmission. Hydraulic disc brakes.

There is a 1.6-gallon fuel tank.

If you go to Home Depot for a gas-powered push mower, odds are the engine is going to be bigger than the one on the Grom (though the fuel tank will be smaller).

But here’s something very cool about the Grom:

Its fuel economy is an estimated 166.5 miles per gallon.

Consider: If the average American’s commute is a total 40 miles, then the Grom, with a single tank of gas, would allow five days of commuting and still leave gas in the tank for weekend errands.

And when you go to the gas station to fill the Grom, the price will be so low you’ll have plenty of money left for snacks.

(And speaking of spending, the starting MSRP for the ’25 Grom is $3,599.)
