Modular Design Meets Swappable Power
The eQuad is powered by Honda’s Mobile Power Pack (MPP)—a swappable battery system that enables seamless power replacement in under 30 seconds. This system not only cuts downtime but also enhances operational efficiency for delivery services.
Available in two size variants, the eQuad features a modular chassis adaptable to diverse business needs. Payload capacity ranges from 320 lbs in the compact variant to 650 lbs in the larger version, with customizable cargo boxes to match delivery requirements.

With a narrow body designed to fit bike lanes (subject to local regulations), the eQuad aims to ease urban congestion. It travels up to 12 mph and offers a range of approximately 23 miles, ideal for short-distance commercial routes. Notable rider-focused features include a UV-coated canopy, ceramic tint options, and a ventilation fan for comfort in warmer climates.

Tech-Powered Logistics with Fleet-as-a-Service
Fastport’s launch goes beyond vehicle manufacturing. The eQuad comes integrated with a Fleet-as-a-Service (FaaS) model, offering swappable batteries, cargo modules, real-time fleet data, and predictive maintenance — essentially streamlining logistics through digital innovation. Over-the-air software updates and a camera-based rearview mirror further elevate the eQuad’s tech profile.
