The wait is over! Honda WN7 Globally Debuted at the prestigious EICMA 2025 in Milan, setting a new benchmark for electric motorcycles. With its frameless design, bold LED signature, and a 140 km range, this futuristic machine blends innovation and performance like never before. As Honda’s first full-size electric bike, the WN7 sparks curiosity — is this the dawn of a new era in motorcycling? Let’s explore the revolution Honda just unleashed.
Honda’s First Electric Motorcycle
As the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, Honda has officially entered the electric motorcycle space with the WN7, which stands for “Wind Naked 7.” The name reflects the bike’s design and philosophy — “Wind” for the silent, effortless motion; “Naked” for its aggressive streetfighter stance; and “7” representing its performance class.
Built upon the EV Fun Concept showcased in the previous edition of EICMA, the WN7 marks the debut of Honda’s new ‘Fun’ category, designed to deliver the thrill of quiet, dynamic riding.
Design: Futuristic and Frameless
The Honda WN7 features a futuristic, frameless design that instantly sets it apart. Its 9.3 kWh aluminum battery case doubles as the main structural element of the chassis, replacing the need for a traditional frame. This innovative approach reduces weight, improves agility, and enhances mass centralization — leading to superior handling and control.
Visually, the WN7 carries a minimalist streetfighter look with smooth surfaces and black-and-gold detailing. Its signature horizontal LED light bar not only defines its modern aesthetic but will also act as a design identifier for future Honda electric bikes.
Power and Performance: Electrified Thrills
Under the sleek exterior lies a water-cooled electric motor with an integrated inverter, producing an impressive 50 kW (67 bhp) of peak power and 100 Nm of torque — performance on par with a 600cc petrol-powered motorcycle. Power is delivered smoothly to the rear wheel via a belt-drive system, ensuring a silent yet thrilling ride.
A lower-power 11 kW variant will also be offered to cater to riders with A1 licenses.
The WN7’s 9.3 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a range of up to 140 km (WMTC mode) on a single charge. It supports CCS2 fast charging, which can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes, making it practical for urban as well as highway use.
Technology and Features
Honda has equipped the WN7 with a suite of smart technologies, including a 5-inch TFT display integrated with Honda RoadSync for smartphone connectivity, navigation, and media access. Riders can choose between four riding modes — Standard, Sport, Rain, and Econ — to tailor performance to different conditions.
