" The Honda Z100 was a prototype Honda Motor Company minibike which was introduced at the Tama Tech amusement Park in Tokyo, Japan in 1961. The Z100 minibike was never meant to be produced and sold to consumers. The success of the Z100 prototype convinced Honda to produce and sell the minibike to consumers.

The minibike was not a production motorcycle, so the engine in the Z100 was repurposed from the Honda Super Cub. The 1961 Super Cub engine which was used in the Z100, was a 49 cc. The Z100 had small wheels and the minibike had a white fuel tank and a bright red frame.

The bike was intentionally built small to accommodate children, but it also appealed to adults who rode them around the circuit. The bike soon came to be known as a monkey bike because most adult people, looked large in relation to the very small motorcycle. Onlookers described riders as looking like a Monkey on the bike.

Honda recognized the popularity of the minibike and they decided to manufacture a street-legal version of the bike. In 1963 they released the bike in the Japanese market and called it the CZ100. The Z100 proved to be so popular that it was introduced to the European market as the CZ100 in 1964.
