Honda unveils all-electric WN7 naked bike at 2025 EICMA

MANILA: Honda has unveiled the all-new WN7 electric motorcycle at the recently concluded 2025 International Cycle and Motorcycle Exhibition (EICMA). 

Per the Japanese marque, the WN7 is its first-ever naked sport bike produced and developed under its electric two-wheeler brand direction. It follows the EM1 e: and CUV e: electric-powered scooters, which are both now sold in the Philippine market. 

Powertrain

As shared by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, the WN7 uses a motor-inverter unit that can produce up to 67 horsepower and 100 Newton-meters of torque. Power, on the other hand, is sent to the two-wheeler’s rear wheels via a belt-drive system. 

Per Honda, the aforementioned is somewhat equivalent to a 600-cubic-centimeter internal combustion model. 

For charging, the WN7 uses a Type 2 port with a fast charging feature that is able to increase its state-of-charge from 20-80 percent in just 30 minutes. Concerning range, its 9.3-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery provides 140 kilometers on a full charge, according to the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC). 

Like most electric vehicles (EV), the Honda WN7 comes with a regenerative braking system with adjustable deceleration, and a “walking speed mode” with a reverse function. The aforementioned is touted by the brand as a useful tool when navigating heavily populated paths or tight parking spots.

Frameless design

Unlike most motorcycle modes that use a frame, the Honda WN7 depends on its centrally positioned aluminum battery case as its main structural component. The aforementioned, Honda says, eliminates the need for a frame, thus resulting in a sleeker design that is touted to be lighter and more flexible. 

Additionally, the heavy battery pack was positioned by Honda low on the body of the bike. This results in a low center of mass, which is touted to help in improving agility and handling. 

In addition, the Honda WN7 comes with a horizontal LED light bar, a two-tone color scheme with black accents, dual front and single disc brakes, a 43-millimeter (mm) inverted front fork suspension, and an aluminum cantilever Pro-Arm rear swingarm suspension. 

The model’s lineup of convenience, safety, and comfort amenities includes, but is not limited to, the following: 

• Five-inch TFT display
• Type C USB
• Honda RoadSync
• Drive mode selector
• Selectable speed limit assist
• Engine immobilizer

Availability

As Honda shared, the WN7 will be produced at its Kumamoto Factory in Japan. The model will be released in a “sequential” manner in markets where the “electrification shift is advancing.”

The brand didn’t specify any markets, but Honda’s websites for the United Kingdom and several European territories have already added the new all-electric bike to their lineups. 

As mentioned above, the EM1 e: and CUV e: are already offered by Honda Philippines Incorporated locally, so we’re hoping that the WN7 will also follow suit.
