Global unveiling of Honda's first electric motorcycle scheduled for September 2nd
The Japanese automaker Honda is set to enter the electric motorcycle market with a new model, scheduled for a global unveiling on September 2, 2025. The upcoming electric bike is expected to deliver performance comparable to a 500cc bike, featuring a large TFT display, wide daytime running lights (DRL), bar-end mirrors on clip-on handlebars, and fast charging via CCS2 standard.
According to the teasers and concepts, the electric motorcycle is set to offer a high-performance electric motor outputting power similar to a mid-sized 500cc engine (approx. 50 bhp). The bike will also boast a stylish large TFT screen dashboard for instrumentation and wide DRL lighting.
The upcoming Honda electric motorcycle is expected to launch first in Europe and other developed markets, with the India launch not imminent. This decision is due to market considerations for large electric motorcycles in India, where affordable and smaller electric scooters dominate.
In India, Honda is already introducing electric two-wheelers, with the QC1 and Activa e electric scooters set to hit the market. The large electric bike is connected to Honda’s EV Fun concept showcased previously.
The upcoming Honda electric motorcycle will be competing in a market where the Ultraviolette F77, a made-in-India electric motorcycle, is already available. Currently, the Ultraviolette F77 is on sale in Europe as well. However, the exact launch date for the Honda electric motorcycle in India is yet to be announced.
No specific details about the speed or price of the upcoming Honda electric bike were provided in the article. It is worth noting that Honda may introduce the electric motorcycle at a later stage when the market is more mature for such a product.
Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming Honda electric motorcycle and its potential impact on the global electric two-wheeler market.
