Honda is pleased to announce details of its first full-sized electric motorcycle, the original incarnation of which was shown at EICMA in 2024 as the EV FUN Concept. The mass production model will be sold under the name Honda WN7 – the ‘W’ taking its inspiration from the development concept of ‘Be the Wind’, the ‘N’ standing for ‘Naked’ and the 7 being a reference to the power class.
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 kerb weight of just 217kg and a powertrain – based around an 18kW water-cooled motor – that delivers an output level similar to that of a 600cc internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle, but with 100Nm torque** – more comparable to a 1000cc ICE. Honda is also making available an 11kW A1 licence 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 to 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 unrivalled 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 Honda WN7 are cordially invited to visit the Honda website, via which they will be introduced to their local dealer to place a pre-order. The Honda WN7 on the road price is set at: £12,999 and all customers placing a pre-order, before November 4th, will receive a complimentary seat bag.
