Despite the pandemic, there’s no denying that traffic jams have returned. Clear roads, one of the woefully few good things we had during this crisis, have become clogged once more, and as we did before all of this went down, we’re looking to leave our cars at home and take alternative modes of transportation.
Honda has once again come to my rescue, sending over a bike to test while we come to grips with hassles of going out. The new Click 150 offers some impressive tech, and promises to be a great city bike without compromising things such as power. It’s not the first Click 150 I’ve tried, and the last one left a scooter-shaped hole in my heart when they took it back. Will this new version make me feel the same pain? Let’s find out.
DESIGN
Think “commuter.” Now spice that up a bit with some sharp angles and straight lines. Now, take that, and give it a downward-pointing face that might not look out of place on a big bike. You now have in your head, the Click 150i. It’s aggressively styled (incidentally what I liked about the previous model), but not gimmicky. There are some very sporty lines in there, giving what would otherwise be a large-looking scooter a much sportier vibe. Our test unit, which came in a very fetching stealth black, looked surprisingly imposing, and didn’t feel out of place among the other large-displacement bikes we have at home.
A downward-pointing, angular face, upswept exhaust, and very tasteful accents give it the air of a larger bike than it actually is, while retaining that light, nimble performance one expects from a city scoot.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
