Honda Launches First Electric Motorcycle WN7 in Europe

Tokyo, Japan- Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has unveiled its first electric motorcycle for the European market, the Honda WN7. This launch marks an important milestone in Honda’s long-term strategy, with the company aiming for carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050, and targeting a fully carbon-neutral motorcycle lineup by the 2040s. Positioned as a core element of this vision, the WN7 represents a major step in advancing Honda’s motorcycle electrification efforts.

Positioned in the Fun segment, the WN7 is Honda’s first fixed-battery electric naked model and the production version of the EV Fun Concept first showcased at EICMA 2024 in Milan. Its name derives from “W” (development concept “Be the Wind”), “N” (Naked), and “7” (output class).

Building on over 75 years of motorcycle engineering expertise, the WN7 offers a smooth, quiet riding experience unique to EVs while delivering performance that rivals 600cc ICE models in output and 1000cc ICE models in torque. It combines cutting-edge design with the thrill of the open road, staying true to Honda’s legacy of riding enjoyment.

The Honda WN7 comes with an estimated range of over 130 km (83 miles) and is powered by a fixed lithium-ion battery. It supports the CCS2 fast-charging standard, enabling charging from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes, while a full charge can be completed at home in under 3 hours. Designed with a slim, futuristic EV aesthetic, the WN7 also features a 5-inch TFT screen integrated with Honda RoadSync connectivity, enhancing both functionality and the riding experience.

Honda views 2024 as the first year of global expansion for its electric motorcycles and will continue to broaden its lineup—from daily commuter models to performance-oriented Fun motorcycles like the WN7—offering riders a wide array of electric mobility choices.
