Honda has officially stepped into the big-league electric motorcycle market with the launch of its first full-size EV, the WN7, in Europe. This launch is more than just a new product—it’s a key step in Honda’s broader plan to make all its motorcycles carbon-neutral by the 2040s.
From Concept to Reality
The WN7 is the production version of Honda’s EV Fun Concept, which was first revealed at the 2024 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. A year later, the concept has taken shape as a sleek, road-ready electric naked bike. The naming has its own meaning: W for “Be the Wind,” N for Naked styling, and 7 for its output class.
Price and Market Position
Honda has priced the WN7 at £12,999—roughly Rs. 4.9 million in Pakistani currency. That positions it in the premium bracket, competing with the growing wave of performance-focused electric motorcycles already making their way into Europe and beyond.
Key Features and Specifications
Honda has equipped the WN7 with specs that put it toe-to-toe with petrol-powered sport bikes:
Range: Over 130 kilometers on a single charge
Battery: Fixed lithium-ion pack with CCS2 fast charging (20% to 80% in ~30 minutes)
Home Charging: Full charge in under three hours
Performance: Comparable to 600cc internal combustion bikes in power, while delivering torque levels on par with 1000cc models
Design: Slim, EV-specific styling tailored for a futuristic yet practical look
Technology: 5-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity for navigation, calls, and media on the go
Why This Matters
Until now, Honda’s electric push has largely centered around scooters and commuter bikes, especially in Asian markets. The WN7 changes that narrative, signaling Honda’s readiness to compete in the larger and more performance-driven motorcycle segment. With rivals like Zero Motorcycles, Energica, and Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire already on the scene, Honda’s entry adds serious weight to the global EV motorcycle race.
The Bigger Picture
Honda has made it clear that electrification is central to its long-term strategy. By bringing the WN7 to market, the company is showing that it’s not just experimenting with EVs—it’s investing in them for the future. For riders, the WN7 promises an electric motorcycle that doesn’t compromise on power, speed, or style.
The WN7 will begin deliveries in Europe soon, with potential rollout to other markets depending on demand and regulatory approvals.
