If you have been waiting for Honda to bring its first-ever electric motorcycle, the wait is finally over. The Japanese brand has officially unveiled the Honda WN7 in the European market. This launch marks Honda’s fresh beginning in the EV space and hints at an exciting future for electric motorcycles worldwide.
The Story Behind The Name & Concept
The Honda WN7 is actually the production-ready version of the EV Fun Concept, which was first showcased at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. The name itself has a deeper meaning – ‘W’ stands for Be The Wind (freedom like the air), ‘N’ is for the Naked motorcycle segment, and ‘7’ represents the output class of Honda’s electric bikes.
Range & Battery Tech
The Honda WN7 comes with a claimed range of around 130 km (83 miles) on a single charge. It is powered by a fixed lithium-ion battery pack. While Honda has not revealed the exact power and torque figures yet, the brand claims that its performance is equal to 600cc petrol bikes in output and 1000cc machines in torque delivery.
Charging won’t be a hassle either. Thanks to the CCS2 fast-charging standard, the WN7 can go from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes. For daily use, it is also compatible with regular home charging, which takes under 3 hours for a full charge.
Tech & Connectivity Features
On the features front, the WN7 packs a 5-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync technology. Riders get navigation support, call and SMS alerts, and smartphone connectivity – all designed to make every ride more convenient and connected.
Bold & Futuristic Design
The Honda WN7 is not just about performance – it is also a looker! It gets a muscular stance with futuristic styling. At the front, it features dual-pod LED headlamps with a horizontal DRL, giving it a premium and aggressive look. The bike is equipped with USD front forks, a rear mono-shock, and a single-sided swingarm, which enhances its sporty appeal. Safety is taken care of by a dual-disc brake setup at the front.
Honda’s Bigger Goal
The launch of the WN7 is not just about introducing another motorcycle. It aligns with Honda’s global vision of making all its two-wheelers carbon neutral by the 2040s. This electric motorcycle is a strong step towards that future.
