After taking some time to get its bearings, Honda's been chugging along nonstop in its quest to pursue its carbon neutrality goals, across the company. While we've so far seen more EV automobiles from Honda than we have two-wheeled vehicles, Honda has still offered little bits of information here and there about its progress in the two-wheeled realm.
Understandably, electrification of its workhorse and fleet two-wheelers has been a bit quicker to materialize than for more recreationally-minded motorbikes. That's why the Benly e:, Gyro e:, and Gyro Canopy e: all swiftly made appearances, first in Japan and then in other Asian markets where their combustion precursors already enjoyed strong popularity.
But at last, the first-ever EV motorcycle in Honda's EV Fun lineup is here, and they're calling it...the WN7, for some reason. I joke, because it's a somewhat opaque name. But true to form, Honda does present some reasoning for this choice, and it's that W is short for "Be the Wind" while N is short for "naked," since it's a naked bike.
