Global debut of Honda's first electric motorcycle is set for September 2
The automotive world is abuzz with excitement as Honda prepares to unveil its latest innovation - an electric motorcycle. Scheduled for global debut on September 2, 2025, this new bike is set to make a significant impact, particularly in Europe and other developed markets[2][3][4].
Details about the bike's design and specifications have started to emerge. It appears that the motorcycle is inspired by Honda’s EV Fun Concept, showcased at the EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan[2][4]. The bike is expected to offer performance comparable to a 500cc motorcycle, boasting around 50 bhp output and instant torque typical of electric motors[3].
The design of the new motorcycle is sleek and sporty, with a sharp LED daytime running light, LED turn indicators, a TFT dashboard, clip-on handlebars, a short, sporty tail, and bar-end mirrors[2][3]. Mechanical features include a single-sided swingarm, upside-down (USD) front forks, monoshock rear suspension, 17-inch wheels fitted with Pirelli Rosso 3 tires, and a large rear disc brake[2][3].
One of the standout features of this new electric motorcycle is its compatibility with CCS2 fast charging, making it compatible with the same fast chargers as electric cars[1]. A removable under-seat battery pack is also likely, facilitating convenient home charging and compliance with European regulations[5].
While the India launch of the Honda electric motorcycle is not expected to happen soon, Honda is focusing on electric scooters in the domestic market, having already introduced the QC1 and Activa e[3][4].
The new Honda electric motorcycle is expected to have a top speed of approximately 50-55 mph (80-90 km/h), suitable for urban and suburban riding, indicating a focus on practical everyday mobility rather than high-speed performance[5]. It will be interesting to see how this new bike competes against the made-in-India Ultraviolette F77, which is currently on sale in Europe.
In summary, this new Honda electric motorcycle aims to combine sporty design, moderate power around 50 bhp, practical urban rideability, and modern features such as a TFT display and fast charging, targeting the developed markets starting late 2025[2][3][4][5]. Stay tuned for more updates as more details about the bike's price, range, and battery swap technology become available.
Technology and sports intersect in the new Honda electric motorcycle, as it boasts a sleek, sporty design and performance comparable to a 500cc motorcycle, with around 50 bhp output and instant torque typical of electric motors. Notably, it also comes equipped with features like a TFT dashboard, fast charging compatibility, and a focus on urban and suburban riding speeds, indicating a blend of performance and practical everyday mobility.
