Overview
The WN7 represents Honda’s first fixed-battery electric platform aimed at the European market. Honda describes the design as a “naked streetfighter” style machine that combines everyday practicality with the performance of a mid-capacity internal-combustion motorcycle. The model name stands for *Be the Wind (Naked)* with “7” denoting its performance class.[7]
Design and features
The WN7 uses a slim, compact frame with a fixed lithium-ion battery pack integrated into the chassis. Honda cites a capacity of around 15.5 kWh, giving an estimated range of more than 130 km (≈ 80 mi). DC fast charging via the CCS2 standard allows charging from 20% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes, while AC home charging can deliver a full charge in about three hours.[8][3]
The motorcycle features a 5-inch colour TFT display with Honda RoadSync connectivity, allowing navigation, music, and call integration. Three riding modes: Eco, Standard, and Sport. In addition, there is regenerative braking that simulates engine braking on deceleration.[9]
Performance
Honda claims peak output equivalent to a 600 cc petrol motorcycle, with maximum torque of 100 N·m and strong mid-range acceleration. An 11 kW variant is expected for riders with the European A1 licence. Kerb weight is listed at 217 kg. Honda reports that the chassis was tuned for urban agility as well as stability on winding roads.[4]
