Honda has unveiled its first electric motorcycle for European market. Named the Honda WN7, it will go on sale in November with a starting price of £12,999 in the UK.
Honda aims to achieve carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050, with the goal of making all motorcycle products carbon-neutral by the 2040s. To this end, Honda is positioning motorcycle electrification as a core pillar of its future environmental strategy.
Positioning 2024 as the first year of global expansion for its electric motorcycles, Honda is accelerating its entry into the electric motorcycle market and expanding its global electric lineup. The newly announced WN7 is Honda’s first fixed-battery electric naked model designed for the Fun segment.
Honda will continue to respond to the diverse needs of customers by advancing efforts to create a full lineup of electric motorcycles, from commuters to Fun models, and by offering a wide variety of electric motorcycle options.
The WN7 is the production model of the “EV Fun Concept” exhibited at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy.
The model name WN7 is derived from “W” for the development concept “Be the Wind,” “N” for “Naked,” and 7 indicating the output class.
The WN7 is an electric motorcycle that embodies over 75 years of Honda’s motorcycle development experience and expertise. It delivers a quiet and smooth ride distinct from ICE (internal combustion engine) models, while achieving a high level of riding enjoyment and the thrill of the open road
