Honda WN7 unveiled as brand’s first full-size electric bike

After showcasing the Fun concept at EICMA 2024 and then subsequently teasing and testing it in Europe earlier this month, Honda has now taken the wraps off its first full-size electric motorcycle, the WN7. For the moment, it is being introduced only in European markets. This EV will get its full public showcase with complete specifications at EICMA 2025.

1. Honda WN7 has a claimed 130km range and CCS2 fast charging
2. It has an 18kW motor with 100Nm torque
3. EICMA debut in November 2025

Honda WN7: the brand’s first full-size electric motorcycle

20-80 percent charge in 30 minutes with a CCS2 charger.

Honda says the WN7 name comes from three elements – ‘W’ is derived from its development theme of Wind, ‘N’ denotes its naked motorcycle design, and ‘7’ refers to the power class it belongs to. The Honda WN7 carries forward the slim, minimalist design seen on the 2024 concept at EICMA and uses a fixed lithium-ion battery with a claimed range of 130km. Charging options include CCS2 rapid charging, which takes the battery from 20-80 percent in just 30 minutes, while a 6kVA home wall-box charger enables a full 0-100 percent charge in under three hours.

Weighing 217kg, the WN7 is powered by an 18kW (24.5hp) water-cooled motor that Honda says “delivers an output level similar to that of a 600cc ICE motorcycle” although we’re not sure how the company has made that association given that 18kW translates to 24.5 hp. That being said, it has a torque output of 100Nm which should result in strong acceleration. Honda will also sell a 11kW (15hp) variant aimed at A1 licence holders in Europe.

On the equipment front, the electric naked gets a 5-inch TFT display with RoadSync smartphone pairing and EV-specific menus, along with all-LED lighting. It also continues to feature the single-sided swingarm that the concept showcased. It is available in three colours – gloss black with copper accents, matte black and grey.

Honda has priced the WN7 at GBP 12,999 (approx Rs 15.56 lakh), with deliveries scheduled to begin after its formal debut and specification reveal at EICMA 2025.
