Honda Chalet (NY50), the family motorcycle for women was released on May 18th 1978. This Honda Chalet is equipped with a powerful 2-stroke 50cc engine that is comfortable enough to climb hills and ride long distances. It was developed with particular consideration for use by women.
Honda Chalet Main Features
Adopts Honda's unique V-belt automatic mechanism ((*) Honda V-Matic). With smooth starting acceleration, you can enjoy a comfortable ride without the hassle of changing gears. In addition, combined with the powerful engine, you can drive comfortably even when starting on a slope or climbing a slope.
* The Honda V-Matic is a combination of a rubber belt with a V-shaped cross section and two pulleys whose circumference changes due to centrifugal force.
With ease of use in mind, the underbone type frame makes it easy to get on and off, the low seat height, the leg shield that protects your feet from dirt, and the cover around the engine make it a friendly design for women. In terms of safety, it is equipped with a buzzer to notify you if you forget to return the turn signals, and a brake lock lever that can also be used as a parking brake to improve safety when starting and parking.
