Honda has stepped into the world of electric motorcycles with the launch of its first sports EV, the Honda WN7, in Europe. The bike, which is based on the earlier EV Fun Concept shown at EICMA 2024, marks a major step in the brand’s global EV expansion.
Design & Concept
The model name reflects its origins — “W” comes from the concept itself, “N” stands for naked styling, and “7” highlights its output class. With a streetfighter stance, dual-pod LED headlamp with DRL, and a single-sided swingarm, the WN7 has a futuristic design that blends function with performance.

Battery & Range
The WN7 uses a fixed lithium-ion battery pack, delivering a claimed 130km riding range on a single charge. With the CCS2 fast-charging standard, the battery can charge from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes. A full charge using a 6kVA charger takes about 3 hours, while home charging remains an option.
Performance
Honda equips the WN7 with an 18kW liquid-cooled motor, and the company claims that it matches the performance of a 600cc petrol motorcycle. Interestingly, the torque output is said to rival even larger 1000cc ICE bikes, making it one of the most exciting electric motorcycles revealed in recent times. At 217kg, the bike is on the heavier side, but the performance focus justifies the weight.
Features & Technology
The EV sports a 5-inch full-colour TFT display with Honda RoadSync integration, giving access to smartphone connectivity, navigation, calls, and SMS alerts. Full LED lighting is standard, adding to its premium appeal.
Market Launch & Price
Honda plans to first sell the WN7 in the UK for £12,999 (approx. ₹15.5 lakh), followed by other European markets. For now, an India launch seems unlikely, though enthusiasts here will be keeping a close watch on Honda’s EV strategy.
