Honda has unveiled the WN7, its first electric motorcycle with a range of 130 km, signaling a significant entry into the global market of EV two-wheelers.
With the new WN7, Honda has launched its first electric motorcycle set to grab a fresh pocket in the market. The WN7 stands for “Be the Wind” (W) and “Naked” streetfighter styling (N); the “7” stands for output class. This new model follows the EV Fun Concept that the brand exhibited at EICMA 2024, putting some aggressive and futuristic styling into the electric motorcycle arena.
Performance and Range
The WN7 carries on with an unusual lithium-ion slab battery that guarantees an extraordinary range of over 130 km on a single charge. It targets performance levels that bring strangers to compare it against any other internal combustion engine, IN10 (a.k.a. Internal combustion engine 1000cc) with about 600cc torque, so that one could boastfully say, with its levels of power and said range, it offers a thrill-ride but a somewhat practical experience, also, the usual daily commute and city rides.

Charging Capabilities
Indeed, WN7 boasts swift charging capabilities. Electric motorcycles have fast-charging standard CCS2-compatible units, charging from 20% to 80% within half an hour. Full charge takes less than three hours at home, and charging time is very important when it comes to so-called range anxiety, somewhat allowing a WN7 to be considered suitable for all riders.
Advanced Technology and Design
The WN7 carries the vogue of minimalism and futurism, with highly ornate and angulated lines. The dashboard has a 5-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync, a brand-developed system for smartphone integration. The system uplifts riders’ experience, permitting them to use the navigation, music, and call notifications from the dashboard screen in a safe and distraction-free manner.
In conclusion, the launch of the Honda WN7 clearly and strategically confers an expedited opening into the global e-motorcycle market. By combining decades of motorcycle engineering expertise with modern-day electric technology, Honda has conceived a model that seriously challenges the stereotypical notion of what an electric bicycle can be.
With the WN7, given its splashy range, quick charge, and CPU speed metrics, it is not just a nice-to-have option but a viable contender poised to go head-to-head with conventional two-wheeler mobility and set new standards for sustainable two-wheeler mobility.
