Breaking News: Honda’s First Electric Motorcycle WN7 Officially Launched

Honda has finally made history with the launch of its first electric motorcycle WN7, a bike that has already caught global attention. This is not just another electric scooter – the Honda WN7 is a full-size motorcycle with performance close to a 600cc petrol bike and torque that can rival a 1000cc superbike. With this launch, Honda has entered the big electric bike market, showing its commitment to making all motorcycles carbon-neutral by the 2040s.

The WN7 is the production version of the EV Fun Concept, which Honda earlier showcased at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan 2024. Now, it has officially turned into reality. Interestingly, the name also carries meaning: “W” stands for Be the Wind, “N” means Naked, and “7” highlights the output class of the bike.

Honda WN7 Battery and Range Details

The Honda WN7 is powered by a fixed lithium-ion battery. Unlike smaller scooters, its battery is not removable, but it supports CCS2 fast charging, which can charge 20% to 80% in just around 30 minutes. For home charging, a full recharge takes less than three hours. The bike’s official range is over 130 km per charge, making it suitable for city rides and even short tours.

For Pakistan, where charging infrastructure is still developing, this kind of fast charging could be a game-changer if Honda decides to bring the WN7 here.

Honda WN7 Performance and Technology

Honda has built the WN7 to directly compete with mid-range petrol bikes. The performance is equivalent to a 600cc petrol engine, but its torque matches 1000cc superbikes, meaning riders get instant acceleration and smooth power.

Design-wise, the WN7 has a slim and aggressive naked-bike style that gives it a fresh EV identity. The bike also comes with a 5-inch TFT display and Honda RoadSync connectivity, allowing riders to connect their smartphones for calls, music, and navigation.

Final Thoughts

For Pakistan, the launch of the Honda WN7 shows what the future of motorcycles could look like. Right now, our roads are dominated by 70cc to 150cc petrol bikes, and electric scooters are just beginning to appear. But if Honda brings the WN7 or a cheaper version to the local market, it could inspire other brands to step into the EV motorcycle segment.

The WN7 is not just a motorcycle; it is a signal of a new era. With power, speed, and sustainability combined, Honda has shown that the future belongs to electric bikes. Pakistan may take some time to adapt, but once charging stations expand and costs go down, bikes like the WN7 could become a common sight on our roads.
