Honda steps into a new chapter with its first-ever electric motorcycle, the WN7. Designed for a younger demographic and everyday use, its overall design remains a clear reflection of Honda’s conventional motorcycles.

The bodywork is clean and modern, with a narrow profile that enhances agility while maintaining a strong visual presence. It’s complemented by full LED lighting, including dual projector headlights and daytime running lights. Showa 43 mm upside-down forks and Pro-Arm rear suspension provide a composed ride, while the relatively slim form keeps the bike manageable in busy streets despite a kerb weight of 217.5 kg. Handling is supported by a suite of electronic aids, including cornering ABS, Honda Selectable Torque Control, and multiple riding and deceleration modes.

Performance figures suggest this is no lightweight entry into electrification. The WN7 delivers 50 kW of peak power and 100 Nm of torque, providing the immediate response that defines electric riding. Acceleration feels instant and smooth, while a top speed of 129 km/h is more than sufficient for real-world use. A certified range of up to 140 km makes it well-suited to urban commuting and short-distance riding.

Charging its 9.3 kWh battery pack is equally practical. Using public infrastructure, the battery can be replenished from 20 to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes, while a full charge at home takes between 2.4 and 5.5 hours, depending on the setup.

The cockpit integrates a five-inch TFT display with Honda’s RoadSync connectivity, along with Smart Key operation and practical touches such as a USB-C port. Features like Walking Speed Mode and selectable speed assistance further underline its everyday usability. Importantly, the WN7 is not just a concept, but a fully realised production machine already available for sale in the European market.
