Honda has made a significant impact in the EV two-wheeler segment by launching its first full-size electric motorcycle in Europe! If you’re looking for the ride of the future—an electric bike with powerful performance and cutting-edge technology—then Honda’s WN7 motorcycle could be a game-changer. Equipped with a 9.3kWh battery pack and two powerful motor options (11kW and 18kW), this motorcycle not only delivers impressive torque but also rivals traditional motorcycles with its advanced chassis and attractive design.
Honda WN7 Electric Motorcycle
Honda has unveiled the impressive specifications of its first full-size electric motorcycle, the Honda WN7. It was recently unveiled at EICMA 2025 alongside other motorcycles like the CB1000GT and V3R. After showcasing the “Fun Concept” at EICMA last year and testing in Europe earlier this year, Honda has launched this model exclusively for Europe. The Honda WN7 is the company’s first and powerful entry into the full-size EV motorcycle segment. At the same launch, Honda also unveiled five motorcycles featuring its E-Clutch technology and the V3R prototype.
Power and Performance
The Honda WN7 is available in two motor options (11kW and 18kW) with a 9.3kWh battery pack size. This powerful combination ensures it can meet a variety of rider needs. The 11kW model generates 11.2kW of power, while the more powerful 18kW version produces a whopping 50kW. Furthermore, both models deliver a robust torque of 100Nm.
The claimed range of the slower model is slightly higher at 153 km, while the faster model offers a range of 140 km. The 18kW model has a top speed of 129 km/h. This power output makes it eligible for A1 and A2 licenses in Europe.
Charging and Driving Modes
Charging is made extremely easy in the Honda WN7. The battery can be charged using a standard Type 2 charger or the faster CCS2 charger, which is also used in most cars. The rider has four default riding modes to choose from (Standard, Sport, Rain, Econ). Each mode optimizes traction control level, deceleration power, or regenerative braking. The braking level can be adjusted from 0 to level 3 (maximum) via a finger/thumb paddle on the left handlebar.
Advanced Chassis and Braking
Honda has used a hollow aluminium monocoque chassis in the WN7, with the battery pack used as a stressed member. This state-of-the-art frame is suspended by 43mm Showa USD forks and a monoshock, ensuring excellent road grip and a comfortable ride.
Braking is handled by Nissin dual-piston callipers with a 296mm disc at the front and a mono-piston rear calliper with a 256mm disc at the rear. Cornering ABS control is provided via an IMU-linked system, which can be adjusted from the 5-inch TFT dash. Honda says this motorcycle is targeted at young people who want to upgrade from a smaller ICE motorcycle and also experience the thrill of electric riding.
