Honda has finally pulled the wraps off its first proper electric motorcycle, the WN7, and it looks like the brand is dead serious about making EVs fun, not just practical. Revealed in Europe, this futuristic naked bike promises the thrill of a petrol-powered machine—minus the noise and fumes.
Specs
At first glance, the WN7 looks like a sporty streetfighter with sharp lines and a slim silhouette, but the magic is under the skin. Honda says the WN7 has the punch of a 600cc petrol bike, with torque figures closer to a liter-class monster. That means instant pull when you twist the throttle—something only EVs can deliver. With a range of around 130 km per charge, it should easily cover your weekday commutes and weekend rides around town. And thanks to fast-charging (20%–80% in 30 minutes), grabbing a quick top-up during a coffee break is no hassle.
The bike runs on a fixed lithium-ion battery, a departure from Honda’s swappable-battery commuter scooters, making this model feel more like a dedicated performance machine. A 5-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync brings smartphone-style connectivity to the cockpit, giving navigation and calls right at your fingertips.
What about the UAE?
If Honda brings the WN7 here, it will be stepping into a niche but growing space. Riders in Dubai and Abu Dhabi love their streetfighters—think Yamaha MT-07 or Kawasaki Z650. If Honda prices it smartly, it could attract younger riders who want performance with a clean conscience. Plus, with the UAE’s push for green mobility and charging infrastructure expanding fast, timing couldn’t be better.
If this is Honda’s idea of an electric “Fun” bike, the future of motorcycling might actually be exciting—and eerily quiet.
