The Honda WN7 Electric Motorcycle 2025 is Honda’s first full-size electric naked bike, a commuter-friendly EV that’s blending fun, efficiency, and Honda’s renowned reliability for urban riders ready to go green. Priced at £12,999 (around Rs. 13.75 lakh ex-showroom in India equivalent), it’s aimed at younger riders in Europe (and potentially India) who want a quiet, torque-rich ride with 600cc-like performance without the emissions. It evolves from the EV Fun Concept shown at EICMA 2024, competing with the Super Soco CP Hunter, Energica Ego+, and Zero SR/F, offering a fixed lithium-ion battery, CCS2 fast charging, and RoadSync app connectivity. Production starts late 2025, with sales early 2026. This review details its price, specs, features, and performance.
Sleek and Sturdy Design
The WN7 2025 rocks a slim, naked bike profile with LED lighting front and rear, a minimalist frame, and a single-sided swingarm for agile urban handling. It’s lightweight at 217 kg, measuring about 2100 mm long, 780 mm wide, and 1090 mm high, with a steel trellis frame for durability. With 17-inch wheels and tubeless tires, it offers responsive road feel without excess weight. Available in colors like Matte Black or Electric Blue, with a solo seat at 785 mm height—under-seat storage fits a helmet, and the fixed battery keeps it simple for daily dashes.
Clear Display
The 5-inch color TFT display is crisp, showing speed, battery level, range, and exclusive EV menus for quick glances. Honda RoadSync app connectivity enables smartphone pairing for navigation, calls, and ride data—handlebar switches are intuitive for lights and modes, with a USB port for charging. It’s rider-focused without clutter, perfect for city zips, though no full touchscreen keeps it straightforward.
Efficient Performance
Powered by an 18 kW water-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor (100 Nm torque), it delivers 600cc-like acceleration with 0-100 km/h in under 4 seconds and a top speed of 130 km/h. The fixed lithium-ion battery offers a claimed 130 km range—real-world 100-110 km in urban mixes. Charging via CCS2 fast charger hits 20-80% in 30 minutes, or full AC charge in 3 hours. The suspension (telescopic front, monoshock rear) keeps it stable on bumps—feels nimble and quiet, ideal for commuters without ICE vibes.
Advanced Safety System
Safety includes ABS on dual disc brakes (310 mm front, 240 mm rear) for confident stops—no traction control in base, but LED lighting and a sound-emitting system alert pedestrians. The trellis frame adds rigidity, handling wet roads or swerves well—great for urban confidence, with IP67 battery protection for light rain.
Long-Lasting Fuel System
The lithium-ion battery stretches 100-110 km real-world, enough for 1-2 days of city riding without daily charges. Fast charging’s 30 minutes for 60% range, full AC in 3 hours, and running costs? A tiny Rs. 0.5-1/km—silent operation lets you cruise without noise, perfect for quiet neighborhoods or errands.
Connectivity and Features
LED headlamp and taillight light the way, with RoadSync Bluetooth for nav, music, and alerts—higher trims add a USB charger and reverse mode. The digital lock and adjustable seat boost comfort—no full audio, but it pairs with earbuds for tunes. Extras like alloy wheels keep it practical, loaded just enough for commuter life.
Pricing and Availability
Priced at £12,999 (Rs. 13.75 lakh ex-showroom equivalent), on-road in India could hit Rs. 15-16 lakh with taxes and insurance if launched. Production late 2025, sales early 2026 in Europe; India launch TBD with subsidies. Maintenance Rs. 2,000-4,000/year, 3-year/unlimited km warranty. Wait: 1-2 months post-launch at Honda dealers.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Early reactions praise the commuter-friendly design, 130 km range, and quiet torque—the TFT screen and fast charging shine for daily use. But the fixed battery limits swaps, top speed caps at 130 km/h for highways, and basic features irk—plus, high price for modest power.
Comparison with Competitors
In the Rs. 13-15 lakh EV motorcycle bracket, the WN7 edges the Super Soco on Honda build but trails the Zero SR/F in range. It matches the Ego+’s style, with Honda’s network giving it an edge for reliability seekers.
Speculative Notes
Launched September 2025 for Europe, Rs. 13.75 lakh equivalent, 18 kW motor, 130 km range. India launch TBD; confirm with dealers.
Final Thoughts
The Honda WN7 Electric Motorcycle 2025, with its slim frame, torque-rich 18 kW motor, and commuter soul at Rs. 13.75 lakh, is Honda’s EV entry for urban riders. Not a speed demon or feature beast, but that range, quiet ride, and Honda trust make it a winner. With growing EV support, it’s ready to roll clean.
