Honda has launched the WN7 Electric Bike 2025, marking its first full-size electric motorcycle aimed at urban commuters and young riders looking for a blend of style, performance, and eco-friendly fun. Unveiled as the production version of the EV Fun Concept shown at EICMA 2024, the WN7 is designed for silent yet powerful city riding. Production starts in late 2025, with dealer deliveries expected in early 2026. Priced at £12,999 in the UK, roughly Rs. 14.5 lakh in India, it offers a competitive mid-range EV option against bikes like the Zero SR/F and Energica Ego.
Retro-Modern and Nimble Design
The WN7 Electric Bike features a sleek, naked streetfighter design with dimensions around 2,000 mm in length, 750 mm in width, and 1,100 mm in height, paired with a 1,400 mm wheelbase. Its 217 kg kerb weight and 150 mm ground clearance make it agile for city streets while stable on smooth tarmac. The bike carries a retro-modern aesthetic with a slim tank, round LED headlamp, chopped rear fender, and a low-slung seat. Available in bold black or metallic finishes, it rides on 17-inch alloy wheels with wide tires and a single-sided swingarm, giving it a clean and sporty EV look.
Rider-Focused Cockpit
The WN7 is built for comfort and usability. The solo seat with upright handlebars and mid-mounted pegs offers a relaxed riding position suitable for long city rides. The 5-inch TFT dashboard displays speed, battery status, range, and riding modes, and it can connect via Bluetooth to navigation, calls, and music. The bike has a USB-C charging port for devices, a reverse gear for easy parking, and selectable Eco, Sport, and Regen modes. Its low noise, vibration, and harshness levels create a focused riding experience without the distractions of a conventional engine.
Punchy Electric Performance
Powering the WN7 is an 18 kW peak, 11 kW continuous permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 100 Nm of torque. The single-speed drivetrain provides instant acceleration, achieving 0-100 kmph in around 5-6 seconds and a top speed of 130 kmph. The fixed 11 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a claimed range of 130 km, with real-world figures closer to 100-120 km.
CCS2 fast charging replenishes 20-80 percent in 30 minutes, while home Level 2 charging takes under three hours. Showa suspension with 120 mm front travel and 90 mm rear travel handles urban bumps effectively, and regenerative braking adds extra efficiency.
Safety and Handling
Safety is reinforced with dual-channel ABS, 310 mm front and 240 mm rear discs, traction control, and LED lights with DRLs for visibility. The side-stand cut-off and wide tires enhance rider confidence. While it lacks advanced electronics like a full IMU, the steel trellis frame and nimble handling make the WN7 reliable for urban commuting.
Pricing and Availability
The Honda WN7 is priced at £12,999 in the UK, approximately Rs. 14.5 lakh ex-showroom in India. On-road prices are expected to range between Rs. 16-17 lakh. Pre-orders open at Honda dealers and online platforms, with promotional offers such as cashback, no-cost EMI, and free gear. The bike comes with a three-year unlimited kilometer warranty and annual servicing costs of around Rs. 3,000-4,000.
Rider Feedback and Observations
Early impressions praise the WN7 for its instant torque, quiet operation, and urban-friendly design. Riders enjoy its clean styling and nimble handling, making it ideal for city commuting. Some concerns include the fixed battery limiting long-distance rides and a relatively firm seat for extended trips. Compared to competitors like the Zero SR/F or Energica Ego, the WN7 balances affordability, style, and practicality.
Final Verdict
The Honda WN7 Electric Bike 2025 is a stylish, rider-focused urban EV that combines retro-modern aesthetics with practical performance. With its instant torque, digital features, and comfortable ergonomics, it is perfect for city riders seeking an eco-friendly alternative without sacrificing fun. The WN7 establishes Honda as a serious player in the electric motorcycle segment, offering a compelling mix of design, technology, and range for modern commuters.
