Forget the WN7 | Honda’s Hidden Electric Army Is Coming
Honda didn’t just build one electric bike. They’ve quietly built an entire electric lineup. The WN7 might look like the big headliner Eggma 2025, but underneath the spotlight, Honda’s been setting the stage for something much bigger, a full electric ecosystem. I’m Safi Sprocket, and today we’re breaking down Honda’s secret electric plant. how the world’s biggest bike brands plans to go carbon neutral and what that really means for riders like us. Now, if you’ve seen my previous WN7 video, you’ll know that Honda’s first electric naked has finally arrived. 600cc equivalent performance, over 130 km of range, and fast charging in half an hour. But that bike isn’t a one-off experiment. It’s a fun piece of a much larger puzzle. Honda’s been working on electric mobility for years. They’ve played a long game now. Whilst other brands wanted flashy and rushed out smaller EVs, Honda focused on the groundwork, charging standards, battery partnerships, and platform design. So, what is the plan? Well, by 2040, Honda aims to make its entire motorcycle lineup carbon neutral. And they’re taking a multi-layered approach to get there. The strategy starts with swappable battery scooters for easy city commuting. It moves up to fixed battery mid-range bikes like the WN7 and will eventually expand into high performance electric models later in the decade. But Honda isn’t just building electric bikes. They’re building the ecosystem to support them. And that’s why they’ve helped establish the Swappable Battery Consortium, an alliance pushing for standardization battery formats across Japan and Europe to make charging and compatibility easier for everyone. Honda’s already been testing the waters quietly. You might have seen the EM1E, a small scooter with a removable battery. Then came the Benley E, used for postal services and deliveries. both use Honda’s mobile power pack, the same battery system shared with Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawazaki through that consortium. Those scooters weren’t meant to break sales records. They were meant to gather data, range patterns, cycle charges, durability, all feeding into the new design of bigger EVs. And that brings us right back to the WN7, the first bike where Honda says, “This is real. This is the start.” Now, Honda has hinted that the WN7 won’t be alone for much longer. Their EV road map shows at least four more electric motorcycles coming before 2030, ranging from small commuters to sport and adventure models. So, we can expect names like the WN5 or the WS7 with W being for be the wind, N for naked, and S for sport. It’s a whole new naming structure built for an electric era. And if you read between the lines, Honda’s planning modular platforms, different bike sharing motors, battery systems, and frames just to keep costs down, just like they did with the CV range. But Honda’s plan doesn’t stop at motorcycles. They’re linking this tech across cars, power products, and even robotics. The same charging and software platforms will talk to each other from your home charger for your bike to your EV car. Imagine a world where your Honda bike car and even your lawn mower all share the same energy ecosystem. It sounds wild, but that’s where they’re heading. Honda is playing the long game. They’re not chasing hype. They’re building trust. Instead of flashy prototypes, they’re focusing on reliability, safety, and a rider familiarity. The WN7 isn’t a tech demo. It is a signal. And the smartest part, they’re doing it the Honda way. evolving quietly and then dominating the industry once the timing is right. So whilst everyone is talking about the WN7, Honda is already laying down the next decade of electric motorcycles, a lineup that could completely change how we ride and what we ride. So what do you guys think? Will Honda’s slow and steady approach win the EV race? Or will the early players keep their lead? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.

My name is Safy Sprocket, signing off. This one was completely my fault.
Honda didn’t just drop the WN7; they’ve been quietly building an entire electric motorcycle ecosystem. In this video, I break down Honda’s hidden EV strategy, how they plan to go carbon-neutral, and what their long game really means for riders. From swappable-battery scooters to mid-range electrics and future high-performance models, Honda is building a full-electric lineup that could reshape motorcycling for the next decade.
