On May 12, 2023, Honda Motor Europe officially introduced the 2023 Honda EM1 e:, its first electric two-wheeler for the European market. The letters EM stand for Electric Moped, because that’s effectively what it is. It’s also the first Honda two-wheeler to make use of the new, swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack e: system (HMPP) for the European market.
If you think back to EICMA 2022, you may recall that’s when Honda first took the wraps off the EM1 e: for a global audience. At the time, full specifications weren’t available for the first electric two-wheeler that Honda planned to launch in Europe. However, if you’ve been following Honda’s electric two- and three-wheeler developments in Japan, you’ll already be familiar with the Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, as well as the Benly e:, Gyro e:, and Gyro Canopy e: that already make use of the HMPP for commercial applications in that market.
