Honda revealed its very first electrical motorbike, the Honda WN7 to the general public for the very first time., at EICMA 2025 (the Milan Motorcycle Shows; Press days: November 4-5, Public days: November 6-9) in Milan, Italy.
Honda WN7
Secret functions of Honda WN7
Advancement principle
The Honda WN7 is the very first electrical naked design in the FUN classification established under Honda’s brand-new electrical bike brand name instructions. Its advancement idea,” Be the Wind,” reveals the pleasure of easily sliding through the air with tranquility special to an electrical car. Riders can straight notice the noises and environment of their environments– the discussions and laughter of individuals on the street, the rustling of leaves– experiences not possible with ICE (internal combustion engine) designs. Showing its designers’ enthusiasm, the WN7’s smooth yet strong torque velocity and nimble handling enables riders to delight in the liberating sensation of riding like the wind.
Style
Intending to improve performance and reveal essence, the style includes a smooth, smooth surface area on the locations the rider touches, while integrating an unique and effective shape. Its signature horizontal light bar will act as a typical style identity for Honda’s future electrical bikes.
The WN7 likewise debuts a devoted color style for Honda’s electrical motorbikes, including a black-based body accentuated with gold part. Like the signature lighting, this color style will be embraced throughout upcoming worldwide electrical designs.
Frameless chassis
Unlike standard bikes that utilize a frame linking the front and back of the body, the WN7 embraces a frameless structure in which the centrally located aluminum battery case forms part of the primary frame. The head pipeline supporting the steering and the pivot bracket supporting the back are both straight linked to the centrally situated power system. By getting rid of the standard frame, the WN7 attains not just weight decrease however likewise higher design versatility, contributing substantially to its slim and compact percentages.
In addition, placing the heavy battery pack at the center of the chassis likewise improves mass centralization and nimble handling.
Integrated motor-inverter system
A recently established, compact and light-weight water-cooled motor with an incorporated inverter powers the WN7. It provides an optimal output of 50 kW, comparable to a 600 cc ICE bike, and optimum torque of 100 Nm, similar to a 1000 cc class ICE motorbike. This makes sure effective yet made up efficiency both in city riding and on open roadways.
Power from the motor is sent through a recently developed transmission to a belt-drive system, which drives the rear wheel while adding to peaceful operation.
Drive battery and charging requirements
The WN7 is geared up with a recently established 9.3 kWh repaired lithium-ion battery. It supports both CCS2 quickly charging * 1 and Type 2 regular charging * 2, suitable with basic family outlets in numerous areas. With a quick battery charger, the battery can be charged from 20% to 80% in around 30 minutes, enabling fast charging on the go and decreasing the tension of waiting time.
In addition, regular charging completely charges the battery from 0% to 100% in under 2.4 hours * 3, offering a travelling variety of 140 km (WMTC mode) on a complete charge.
Regenerative braking, Deceleration Selector, and Walking Speed Mode
Throughout deceleration with the throttle off, the WN7’s motor carries out energy regrowth while supplying regenerative braking * 4. Riders can change the level of deceleration utilizing the Deceleration Selector on the left handlebar switch, allowing smooth low-speed control with very little brake operation or a sliding experience with decreased deceleration– providing a brand-new riding feel unique from ICE motorbikes.
The WN7 is likewise geared up with a Walking Speed Mode, enabling the rider to move the bike forward or backwards gradually utilizing the left-hand switch and throttle– helpful for parking or maneuvering in tight city areas.
The Honda WN7 will be produced at Honda’s Kumamoto Factory – the business’s international center for motorbike production. Honda will present the design sequentially to international markets where electrification shift is advancing, as the business speeds up electrification of bikes on a worldwide scale.
* 1 CCS2: Combined Charging System Type 2, an adapter requirement utilized for electrical lorry quick battery chargers.
* 2 When utilizing a 200V power supply and charging weapon.
* 3 Charging time might differ depending upon the charging environment (such as temperature level). Charging time based upon Honda measurements.
* 4 Regenerative braking might not be triggered depending upon the staying battery capability.
