Honda has entered the electric motorcycle market with the WN7, now arriving in European dealerships with a starting price of €14,780 ($16,879).
That figure undercuts Harley-Davidson's spinoff LiveWire One by exactly €10 ($11).
Retro Design with Modern Touches
The WN7 draws inspiration from the EV Fun concept shown in 2024. Its retro styling includes stacked square headlights and a naked bike profile without a wind deflector.
A standout feature is the single-sided rear swingarm, reminiscent of Ducati designs. The large 9.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack is visibly integrated into the frame.
Performance and Weight
Power comes from a single electric motor producing 67 hp and 74 lb-ft (100 Nm) of torque.
However, the bike weighs 478 lbs (217 kg), which is heavy for its class.
Honda notes the WN7 is not intended to replace any of its petrol-powered models. The electric motor's immediate torque should make it enjoyable to ride despite the weight.
Regenerative Braking and Low-Speed Mode
The WN7 features configurable regenerative braking to improve efficiency and reduce wear on mechanical brakes. A walking speed mode prevents accidental throttle inputs during parking.
Pricing and Availability
In the UK, the WN7 costs £12,999 ($17,300).
In mainland Europe, it starts at €14,780, just €10 less than the updated LiveWire One, which has dropped from over €30,000 to €14,790.
The WN7 joins Honda's electric lineup alongside the EM1 e: and CUV e: scooters, covering different segments of the market.
