The Suzuki Choinori was a scooter built by Suzuki from 2003 to 2007, designed to minimize the use of materials, especially plastics and threaded fasteners, in order to keep cost down. It was conceived as a short distance scooter for commuting and errands, and its name comes from the Japanese for a short ride, the opposite of tohnori, a long-distance tour. A new 49 cc pushrod OHV engine had an aluminium, linerless bore plated by a newly developed high-speed process, and the rear axle was bolted straight to the frame with no rear suspension. The basic version was advertised at a lower price than Suzuki's contemporary electric bicycle, the Choinori SS followed in 2004, and the Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan named it one of the 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.
