Honda Unveils WN7 Electric Motorcycle – Performance Meets Sustainability

Honda has taken a bold step into the electric motorcycle space with the global debut of the Honda WN7, its first fixed-battery electric naked bike. The WN7 represents Honda’s commitment to delivering performance-oriented machines while moving towards its larger goal of carbon neutrality across all products by the 2040s.

A New Era for Honda Motorcycles

Derived from the EV Fun Concept first revealed at EICMA 2024, the Honda WN7 has now arrived in production-ready form. It’s designed not only as a clean mobility solution but also as a performance motorcycle that can excite riders who crave speed, acceleration, and thrill.

Key Highlights

• Range: Offers more than 130 km on a single charge, making it ideal for daily use and short weekend rides.
• Charging: Supports CCS2 rapid charging, achieving 20% to 80% charge in just 30 minutes. Standard charging at home takes less than 3 hours for a full battery.
• Performance: Honda claims the bike’s power is equivalent to a 600cc ICE motorcycle, with torque levels that rival a 1000cc machine. This ensures strong acceleration and a sporty ride feel.
• Technology: Equipped with a 5-inch TFT display featuring Honda RoadSync connectivity for navigation, calls, and notifications.
• Design: A slim, futuristic naked styling with aggressive lines, showcasing the distinct EV identity.

Philosophy Behind WN7

The name WN7 reflects Honda’s development vision:

• W: “Be the Wind,” symbolizing freedom and innovation.
• N: Stands for Naked, highlighting the styling.
• 7: Indicates its output class, balancing mid-capacity power with high-performance torque.

Why It Matters

1. Accelerating Honda’s EV Transition
   The WN7 shows Honda’s readiness to expand from commuter scooters into serious electric motorcycles for enthusiasts.
2. Proving Fun and Green Can Coexist
   With instant torque and spirited performance, the WN7 is proof that electric motorcycles can deliver excitement while being eco-friendly.
3. Positioning in the Market
   Its combination of range, rapid charging, and ICE-rivaling performance puts it directly against global EV bike brands like Zero and Energica, while also tempting traditional 600cc ICE bike riders.
4. Challenges to Overcome
   Pricing, charging infrastructure, and real-world range under spirited riding will be key factors in its adoption.

The Road Ahead

The Honda WN7 will first be introduced in European markets, with global expansion to follow. It is part of a larger lineup of upcoming Honda EVs, which will eventually include commuters, scooters, and even larger performance motorcycles. With its backing of service and reliability, Honda aims to set a new standard in the electric two-wheeler market.

Conclusion

The Honda WN7 is more than just a motorcycle—it’s a statement. With a range of over 130 km, fast charging support, and performance comparable to 600cc motorcycles with 1000cc-level torque, it redefines what electric motorcycling can be. Combining futuristic styling, advanced technology, and Honda’s trusted engineering, the WN7 could be the model that finally bridges the gap between traditional biking passion and the electric future.
