The Honda EZ90 is a motorcycle produced by Honda from 1991 to 1995.

Intro[edit | edit source]

The Honda EZ90 was called the Cub and was sold from 1990 to 1996. It had a "futuristic" look with the swing arm acting as the rear shock.

The design studios of all the major motorcycle manufacturers are trying to attract the youth market and create new bikes with a less antisocial image, oriented towards leisure activities rather than performance. Honda has been right out in front on this trend, both with its scooters and with its small motorcycles.

Elegant and Lively[edit | edit source]

One of Honda's answers to this difficult challenge was the "Cub," launched in 1990. Elegant and lively, the Cub completely hides its mechanism under its plastic outer casing. It falls under the heading of "family bikes," lightweight machines exclusively intended for leisure pursuits, easy to ride, with automatic transmissions and with no age limit other than the size of the rider.

Amazing Off-Road Performance[edit | edit source]

Not street legal in some countries, the Cub is nonetheless capable of amazing off-road performances. Excellent as a vacation mount, the Cub was principally intended for the American market, to be sold as an indispensable tender to large motor homes. Tongue firmly in cheek, Honda unveiled a snow-bike version of the Cub, the "Ez-snow" (say "E-Z-Snow"), at the Tokyo Salon at the end of 1991. They replaced the front wheel with a steerable ski and fitted a rubber caterpillar track at the rear. It looked the part and it promised to be fun!
