Honda announces the launch of its first full-sized electric motorcycle, the Honda WN7. Originally revealed as the EV FUN Concept at EICMA 2024, the production model embodies the spirit of ‘Be the Wind’ with its sleek ‘Naked’ design and a power class represented by the number 7. Stay tuned for more details on this groundbreaking addition to Honda’s electric vehicle lineup.
The Honda WN7 retains the slim, futuristic design of the EV FUN Concept and will offer more than 130km of range from its fixed lithium-ion battery and flexible options to take the stress out of charging. The Honda WN7 is compatible with automotive-grade CCS2 compatible rapid charging, meaning a 20-80% ‘top up’ charge is possible in just 30 minutes, with a 6kVA ‘wall box’ home charger completing a full 0-100% charge in under 3 hours.
The Honda WN7 is set to offer highly engaging performance, thanks to a svelte curb weight of just 217kg and a powertrain—based around an 18kW water-cooled motor—that delivers an output level similar to that of a 600 cc internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle but with 100 Nm torque—more comparable to a 1000cc ICE. Honda is also making available an 11 kW A1 license version, broadening access to battery-powered motorcycling.
The Honda WN7 has been developed to offer the new sensations of quiet, smooth, vibration- and emission-free riding—giving riders an emotional experience very different from ICE motorcycles. At the same time, Honda’s 75-plus-year history of motorcycle development, which saw it reach the milestone of 500 million units in May this year, means that unrivaled levels of experience and expertise have been poured into the Honda WN7 to ensure that the classic Honda qualities of balance, stability and sheer enjoyment are fully in evidence.
Full technical and specification details of the Honda WN7 will be made available at EICMA 2025, but highlights include a five-inch TFT screen with RoadSync connectivity and exclusive EV menus, plus LED lighting front and rear.
Customers interested in the WN7 are cordially invited to visit the Honda website, via which they will be introduced to their local dealer to place a pre-order. All customers placing a pre-order before November 4th will receive a complimentary seat bag.
