Honda WN7: The global EV market is heating up, and Honda has officially joined the race with its first full-size electric motorcycle the Honda WN7. This bike is not just another commuter EV; it’s designed as a fun, performance-oriented electric motorcycle that blends power, modern styling, and practicality.
But the big questions for enthusiasts are: What is the Honda WN7 offering? What’s the real-world range? How much will it cost? And, most importantly, will it come to India? Let’s explore everything in detail.
What Makes the Honda WN7 Special?
The WN7 is the production version of Honda’s EV Fun Concept. Here’s the breakdown of its name:
W = Wind (symbolizing speed and freedom)
N = Naked (streetfighter styling)
7 = Output class
With this launch, Honda is signaling that its electric journey isn’t just about scooters — it’s also about motorcycles that deliver performance and thrill.
Range and Charging Options
One of the highlights of the Honda WN7 is its claimed range of around 130 km per charge. For city riders, this is more than enough for daily commutes, while occasional highway rides are also possible.
Charging flexibility is another strong point. Riders get:
Fast charging (CCS2 port) → 20% to 80% in nearly 30 minutes.
Home charging (6 kVA charger) → Full charge in under 3 hours.
This means the WN7 can be quickly topped up during the day and fully charged overnight, making it a practical EV for both urban and suburban use.
Key Features & Design
The Honda WN7 sports a naked streetfighter design with sharp lines, minimal panels, and a futuristic road presence. Some standout features include:
5-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync connectivity (maps, calls, notifications).
All-LED lighting setup for a modern and premium touch.
Permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering torque similar to large-capacity petrol bikes.
Chain drive for better performance feel.
Dual disc brakes and ABS for safety.
At 217 kg kerb weight, it is heavier than commuter EVs, but Honda positions it as a 600cc-equivalent motorcycle in terms of output, which justifies the build and performance.
Price and Global Availability
Honda has announced the WN7 for the UK market with an on-road price of £12,999. Converted to Indian currency, that’s over ₹15 lakh placing it firmly in the premium electric motorcycle segment.
Deliveries are expected to start in early 2026, with bookings already open in some European markets. Honda is also offering pre-order benefits like a rear seat bag for early adopters.
Will Honda WN7 Launch in India?
This is the biggest question for Indian enthusiasts. At present, Honda has not confirmed an India launch for the WN7. The reasons are clear:
The high price tag may make it unviable in a cost-sensitive market.
Charging infrastructure in India is still developing.
Honda may prefer to first focus on affordable commuter EVs for India.
However, with rising interest in electric superbikes and brands like Ultraviolette and Revolt already making waves, Honda could test the waters in India in the future.
If Honda decides to localize production, the WN7 could come at a lower price point potentially between ₹10–12 lakh. Until then, enthusiasts will have to wait and watch.
