Why the world still needs the simple pleasures of the Honda Super Cub
Hyper-reliable and capable of 188mpg, it’s no wonder the world’s most popular powered wheeled vehicle has put a smile on so many faces

While the ebullient social media and PR world gets ever-more fixated with electric cars, the simple art of saving hydrocarbon fuel seems to have fallen out of favour. What about old technology; small engines, light weight? And even two wheels? Could these be interim solutions before battery-electric actually posits a sustainable and affordable single-vehicle ownership future for the majority?
Episode 5, “Reiko s Summer”, delivers what a lot of viewers probably wanted last time: a peek into Reiko s summer vacation. It also drops viewers directly into her perspective, offering a refreshing, Reiko-centric episode that, as the kids say, positively slaps.
We start from the end of episode 4 when Koguma bikes over to Reiko s during summer vacation. So far, it s been clear that Reiko feels hemmed in by the social expectations that come with being the daughter of a politician. That s partially why she loves her bikes so much: they allow her to escape those boundaries and do as she wants in the world.
Makeover for Stapleford’s Piper Super Cub
6th April 2021 11:57 Europe/London
Some good has come out of the Covid lockdowns and restrictions – a stunning green and white Piper Super Cub based at Stapleford Flight Centre has had a year-long makeover and is now back at the Essex airfield and available for private pilots.
PA18-150 Super Cub G-BIJB will be available for pilots and students wanting to extend their flying experience with a tailwheel conversion once it has been run in and when restrictions allow.
The Super Cub belongs to Stapleford Flight Centre Instructor, Maurice James, who has taught there for almost 20 years. The aeroplane has been on a one-year refurbishment programme at Vintage Fabrics in Audley End, which specialises in rebuilding historic aircraft, and the engine was re-built by Norvic Aero Engines of St Neots.
