Honda teases its first full-size e-motorcycle with fast charging
Honda is set to unveil its first electric motorcycle featuring fast charging capabilities. A teaser video released on Instagram showcases the new e-motorcycle undergoing tests on European roads. The video hints at an official announcement scheduled for September 16. This release aligns with Honda's broader strategy to introduce at least ten electric motorcycles by 2025. The camouflaged bike in the video bears a strong resemblance to Honda's "EV Fun Concept" shown at EICMA 2024. This concept was designed to offer performance comparable to a mid-sized internal combustion engine motorcycle. It was also designed to be compatible with CCS2 quick chargers, a European fast-charging standard. The concept boasted a cruising range exceeding 100 kilometers. Fast charging is a crucial feature to mitigate range limitations inherent in electric motorcycles due to smaller battery space. Specific details about the motorcycle's specifications will be revealed on September 16. Based on its promotion on Honda's UK Instagram and testing in Europe, the motorcycle is expected to be available primarily in Europe and the United Kingdom.
