Honda WN7, Its First Full-Size Electric Motorcycle, Debuts in Europe

Honda positions the model as a step toward motorcycle carbon neutrality with CCS2 rapid charging.

Overview

  • The fixed‑battery bike carries a claimed range of over 130 km, with CCS2 fast charging from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes and a full home charge in under three hours.
  • Honda cites output comparable to 600cc ICE motorcycles and torque on par with 1000cc machines, with published figures from media listing an 18 kW motor, 100 Nm and 217 kg.
  • European pricing is set at £12,999, prompting questions in coverage about competitiveness against rival commuter‑focused electric motorcycles.
  • Europe‑first availability is planned, with production reported to begin later this year at Honda’s Atessa, Italy plant and eligibility for EV subsidies in some markets.
  • Equipment includes a 5‑inch TFT with Honda RoadSync, 20‑litre underseat storage and a single‑sided swingarm, with an 11 kW A1‑licence variant also planned and a fuller spec reveal expected at EICMA 2025.
