WN7
Honda has named its first electric motorcycle the Honda WN7. Orders are open now. Deliveries start in early 2026. Production begins in late 2025. Honda is targeting mainstream appeal, not a halo toy. The UK on the road price is £12,999 (about $17,745). That signals a volume play. Honda pairs a fixed battery with CCS2 fast charging. You can top up from 20% to 80% in 30 minutes.
Key takeaways
- CCS2 rapid charging and 6kVA home charging support.
- 18kW motor, 100Nm torque, and 217kg kerb weight.
- A1 licence 11kW version will broaden access.
- More than 130km range from a fixed lithium-ion pack.
- Deliveries early 2026; preorders open now.
What you get on day one
The Honda WN7 targets practical riding, not garage art. The charging story backs that up. A CCS2 station can add useful range during a coffee stop. A 6kVA wallbox finishes 0-100% in under three hours. The battery is fixed. That choice simplifies structure and keeps the silhouette slim. The bike retains the sharp EV FUN Concept look in production trim.
Honda fits a 5-inch TFT with RoadSync and EV-specific menus. Full LED lighting completes the package.
Performance and licensing
Honda quotes an 18kW water-cooled motor. Torque lands at 100Nm. Kerb weight hits 217kg. The brand compares output to a 600cc ICE class. The torque claim lines up with a 1000cc ICE. Expect brisk city roll-on and smooth response.
An 11kW A1 version will reach newer riders. That move grows the addressable market fast.
Charging and range, explained
Range clears 130km on a charge. Honda positions the bike for daily use and short trips.
- CCS2 public rapid charging: 20-80% in 30 minutes. Good for quick top-ups.
- 6kVA home wallbox: 0-100% in under three hours. Fits overnight routines.
The combination reduces planning anxiety. You can commute, then add range during errands.
