History
Honda developed the helix by a clever use of existing components. So you took the time to complete drive unit ( 250 - cc engine and Variomatikgetriebe ) of Honda Spacy 250, built it in an extremely long frame (wheelbase 1.6 m) and provided all with a low and comfortable seat. So the first big scooter with the long-distance comfort of a touring motorcycle was born.
The first helix scooter was pearly white and presented as a team in 1985 in Japan at a trade show. Then the Helix Scooter 1986 with steel rims in red or white in Canada and Japan built. In April 1996, the Helix scooter was officially marketed by Honda Germany, namely about 15 % more expensive than the previously already been introduced by many importers free models. A bit later came Helix Roller with aluminum rims. This then had a speedometer with km / h display. The previous speedometer were fitted due to the mostly imported U.S. versions with miles - odometer.
