When Honda first showed off the EV Fun Concept at EICMA last year, it looked like a cool experiment. You know, something that hinted at what electric Hondas might be like in the near future. A few months later, however, we started seeing more details surface, and now it’s finally here in full production form as the Honda WN7.
It’s exciting to see how far it’s come, especially since this isn’t just another commuter-style EV. This one’s meant to be fun. And while no electric bike can truly replace the sound or feel of a gas engine, it’s great to see a brand like Honda doing its best to keep that spirit alive.
The WN7 fits right into the naked bike segment, which has always been about keeping things simple and focused on riding. These bikes are easy to live with, sporty enough to enjoy on twisty roads, and don’t take themselves too seriously. Honda clearly wanted the WN7 to carry the energy of the CB750 Hornet or CB650R into the electric era. And quite honestly, I think they nailed it.
