The UC3 is the first electric two-wheeled personal commuter to embody Honda’s new global brand promise for its electric motorcycle business, “Expected life. Unexpected discoveries.”
Developed under the concept of “Intelligent Urban Life Partner,” the UC3 delivers new value unique to electric vehicles while maintaining the high levels of quality and safety cultivated through Honda’s long history of the development of the internal-combustion engine models.
For its power source, the UC3 adopts Honda’s first fixed-type lithium ion phosphate (LFP) battery. The motor is a wheel-side motor developed and manufactured in-house by Honda, producing a maximum output of 6.0 kW. By optimizing regenerative control and magnetic circuit design to improve efficiency, the UC3 achieves a cruising range of 122 km per charge (WMTC Mode 1, Thailand certified value.)
The UC3 offers three selectable riding modes—STANDARD, SPORT, and ECON—to suit different riding conditions and rider preferences. A reverse mode is also provided to assist easier handling during parking and reversing maneuvers.
The design incorporates flowing curves from front to rear, with a distinctive arched form around the tail section. The UC3 features a horizontal signature light, first adopted on Honda’s initial electric motorcycle, the Honda WN7. Its dedicated EV color scheme combines a predominantly black body with gold-accented components, and the product mark uses a newly developed font ‘Honda,’ exclusive for electric motorcycles.
The UC3 employs “CHAdeMO for two-wheelers,” a charging standard based on the international specification recommended by the CHAdeMO Association. Two chargers—1200W and 450W—are available to accommodate different charging environments.
