Its smooth and quiet performance with on-demand acceleration aims to redefine expectations associated with electric motorcycles. The WN7’s design, with its body creases and overall look, distinguishes it from other models in Honda’s existing ICE lineup. A 5-inch TFT screen in the dashboard’s center incorporates smartphone integration via Honda RoadSync, providing navigation, music, and call notifications. The WN7 represents more than just a model release. Honda has pledged to make all its motorbikes carbon-neutral by 2040 and aims for full carbon neutrality by 2050.
