At the EICMA 2025 exhibition, Honda officially unveiled its first full-size electric motorcycle, the Honda WN7, marking a significant milestone in the company’s electrification journey. Previously hesitant to enter the high-powered electric two-wheeler segment, Honda has now made a decisive move. The WN7 is not a scooter or a small urban prototype—it is a full-fledged motorcycle designed for daily commuting, with performance that rivals traditional internal combustion engine bikes.
The WN7 is powered by a 50 kW (67 hp) electric motor with 100 Nm of torque, offering acceleration comparable to motorcycles in the 400–600cc class. It weighs 217 kg, similar to modern liter-class models. One of its standout technical features is the innovative frameless chassis, where the rigid aluminum battery case serves as a load-bearing component, directly attaching the steering column and rear swingarm. This design reduces weight and improves balance and handling, a solution already adopted by some high-end exotic motorcycles.
The powertrain includes a liquid-cooled electric motor with an integrated inverter and belt drive. Power is transmitted through a specially designed gearbox that combines smooth operation with strong low-speed torque.
The 9.3 kWh battery provides up to 140 km of range under the WMTC cycle. It supports CCS2 fast charging (20–80% in 30 minutes) as well as Type 2 charging. Regenerative braking with adjustable levels and a low-speed mode for easier parking are also included.
Visually, the WN7 features a horizontal LED panel at the front, which will become a signature element of Honda’s future electric motorcycle lineup. Its new color scheme—black with gold mechanical accents—emphasizes the model’s premium character.
Honda has not yet revealed the price or exact market launch date. Production will take place in Japan, with sales initially targeting regions where electric mobility is rapidly expanding.
