EMWRAPS wrapped this Honda Motocompacto, Honda's folding electric scooter, in a custom Hello Kitty and Friends design at our Seattle shop in SODO.

What does the Hello Kitty Motocompacto look like?
The Motocompacto's compact body panels make a clean canvas for Sanrio's characters. Hello Kitty, My Melody and friends spread across every surface, so the scooter is covered in character art from every side.
Can you wrap a scooter or other small vehicle?
Yes. Motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, golf carts: if it has a surface, we can wrap it, in printed art or a solid color vinyl wrap. Vehicle size doesn't limit the creativity, and whether it's a hypercar or a folding scooter, EMWRAPS brings the same design quality and installation precision to the project.
Small vehicles bring their own challenges. Panels are smaller and curves are tighter, so the artwork has to be scaled and placed for each piece, and every edge has to be trimmed and wrapped cleanly because people see a scooter up close. Characters need to sit where they stay whole instead of being cut by a seam or a fold line.
How is a character wrap like this made?
At EMWRAPS, design, print and install happen in-house, the same way we build a car itasha.
- Design. We lay the characters out on the vehicle's actual panels, choosing where each one sits and how the colors flow between pieces.
- Print. The approved design is printed in high resolution on vinyl.
- Laminate. A laminate goes over the print to protect it from UV and scratches.
- Install. Each panel is wrapped and trimmed so the art lines up and the edges stay tidy.
What does a scooter or small vehicle wrap cost?
Small vehicles are quoted per project, because the price depends on the number of panels, their shapes and the artwork. For scale, a printed vinyl itasha hood on a car runs $580–$720 at EMWRAPS, and a full car itasha runs $4,000–$8,000+. Send us photos of your scooter, bike or cart and the characters you want, and we will quote it.
How do you care for a wrapped scooter?
Wipe it down or hand wash it with a pH-neutral shampoo, and keep pressure washer nozzles away from the wrap's edges. The laminate protects the print, and the vinyl protects the factory finish underneath. Vinyl comes off without harming the factory finish when it is removed properly, so the scooter can go back to stock later.
Frequently asked questions
Can you wrap a Honda Motocompacto?
Yes. EMWRAPS wrapped this Honda Motocompacto folding electric scooter in a custom Hello Kitty and Friends design covering every body panel. The artwork was laid out for the Motocompacto's compact panels, printed, laminated and installed at our Seattle shop. We can design a Motocompacto wrap around any characters or theme you choose.
What vehicles besides cars can get a custom wrap?
EMWRAPS wraps motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and golf carts as well as cars and trucks. If a vehicle has a surface, it can usually be wrapped, whether in a solid color or in printed character art like this Hello Kitty Motocompacto. Each small vehicle wrap is designed for its own panels and quoted per project.
Does a vinyl wrap damage a scooter's finish?
A properly installed vinyl wrap does not damage a scooter's factory finish. The wrap covers and protects the surface underneath while it is on, and vinyl comes off without harming the factory finish when it is removed properly. That means a character-wrapped scooter can return to stock or switch to a new design later.
