Honda is launching the WN7 this year. It seems like a typical Honda motorcycle: not for those obsessed with specs, but definitely a solid and well-designed bike. If I were currently looking for a mid-sized electric motorcycle, this would be my top choice for the same reasons people choose Honda for gasoline-powered motorcycles.

It's $15,000 about 15x the price of a standard gas powered Honda motorcycle. Also completely impractical for daily life in Asia.

No wonder I've not seen one yet

Yes, you’re absolutely right. The WN7 is intended more for the European market. For the Global South, something like the Zeno Emara is more suitable. Although I’d buy one right away if it were available here in Germany at a similarly affordable price. Since the beginning of the year, my perspective on e-motorcycles has shifted a bit. I ride an e-scooter to the office and have really gotten into it. Ride, charge, ride, charge, ride, charge, ride, and practically no maintenance: I find that very appealing! That’s why I took notice of the WN7.
