Honda surprises the world and launches its first electric motorcycle with 100 km of autonomy. Discover how this silent motorcycle promises to revolutionize the market!
Honda has taken a significant step towards electrification, revealing its first full-size electric motorcycles at the EICMA 2024, in Milan. The EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept concept models mark the beginning of a new phase for the manufacturer, which plans to launch these sports models worldwide in 2025. Both come with cutting-edge technology, offering a range of 100 km, enough to drive in urban environments. But Brazil is still waiting for its turn to have a launch date.
Featuring innovative design, Honda’s new electric motorcycles reflect the company’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality across its entire motorcycle lineup by the 2040s. This ambitious goal includes the launch of 30 electric motorcycle models up to 2030.
During the press conference held in November 2023, Honda presented its electrification strategy as the main pillar of its environmental vision. Thus, from 2024, the company will begin its insertion in the global electric motorcycle market, betting on an expansion phase until 2026. With this, Honda positions itself to lead the electric motorcycle market.

Honda EV Fun Concept and the electric driving experience with a range of 100 km
The EV Fun Concept is Honda’s first electric sports model, bringing a unique riding experience to motorcyclists. Designed to provide a new riding sensation, the EV Fun is a mid-size naked motorcycle, equivalent to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles.
This model has a fixed battery, which contributes to a lightweight and easy-to-handle chassis. In this way, Honda promises to offer a completely new experience, without noise or vibrations, something that is only possible with electric power.
The Fun Concept EV's charging system leverages Honda's expertise in its automotive and power products, including a CCS2 fast charger, which enables efficient charging in a short amount of time.
Furthermore, the 100 km range is perfect for those who need an agile motorcycle for everyday use in the city. This model, scheduled to go on sale in 2025, represents Honda's entry into the high-performance electric motorcycle segment.
Consequently, the company hopes to expand its market share with a proposition focused on leisure and performance.
Urban mobility with the EV Urban Concept
On the other hand, the EV Urban Concept reflects Honda’s vision of urban electric mobility. Focused on functionality and sophisticated design, the model features connected technologies and an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI).
The fusion of software and hardware promises a mobility experience that resonates with urban needs. Honda aims to expand mobility freedom to a wide range of customers by exploring the possibilities offered by the Urban Concept EV.
While the EV Fun Concept prioritizes the driving experience, the EV Urban Concept offers an alternative for those seeking practicality in an urban environment.
In this way, Honda fulfills its promise to serve different types of motorcyclists, from those passionate about high-performance motorcycles to those who need a functional means of transport for their daily lives.
With the addition of these new models, Honda solidifies its commitment to innovation and the environment.
Honda's ambitious electric motorcycle plan for 2030
The announcement of the EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept models represents just the beginning of an ambitious journey for Honda. The company is committed to launching 30 electric motorcycle models by 2030, expanding its lineup to meet a wide range of market demands.
This ambitious expansion plan is part of Honda’s effort to achieve carbon neutrality across all its products and activities by 2050, with a particular focus on the electrification of its motorcycle lineup.
In addition to leading the electrification process, Honda is seeking to gain a prominent position in the global electric motorcycle market. To this end, the company intends to accelerate the development of a complete line of electric vehicles, with models aimed at both leisure and urban use.
With this move, Honda aims to increase its market share and transform the lifestyle of motorcyclists around the world.
The new era of quiet and sustainable sports bikes
The EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept symbolize Honda’s commitment to delivering an innovative riding experience without compromising on performance. The EV Fun model, for example, promises a high level of “handling, cornering and braking” that Honda has developed over the years. And with its thin and lightweight chassis, it provides a quiet and vibration-free ride, something unheard of in combustion engine motorcycles.
Through electric technology, Honda aims to transform the way people perceive and use motorcycles. The silent riding experience and focus on environmental sustainability are at the heart of this transformation. Consequently, the brand hopes to attract a new audience that values innovation and environmental responsibility, while meeting the expectations of its loyal enthusiasts.
The evolution of fast chargers and the autonomy of models
Another highlight is the compatibility of the EV Fun Concept battery with the CCS2 fast charger, a system that offers similar practicality to that of electric cars. Developed to balance performance and agility, the charging system was designed to optimize recharging time.
Thus, the EV Fun Concept offers autonomy of more than 100 km with a fast charge, making it ideal for urban use and for those who need practicality and economy.
Through this charging system, Honda hopes to simplify the user experience of electric motorcycles, making it easier to adopt these models in everyday life. With this, the brand hopes to win over a significant portion of customers who value technology and convenience, becoming a reference in electric mobility in the motorcycle sector.
Honda consolidates its position in the electric motorcycle market
With the launch of the EV Fun Concept and EV Urban Concept, Honda reaffirms its commitment to leading the transformation of the motorcycle industry. The expansion plan until 2030 and the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 are more than a differentiator: they are a promise of innovation and commitment to the future of the planet. In the meantime, consumers can expect more models, more options and, above all, more possibilities to explore electric mobility.
Honda is beginning this phase with the launch of concept models at EICMA 2024, but the future promises much more. Between 2024 and 2026, the company will take its first steps into a new era, consolidating its presence in the global electric motorcycle market and standing out as a leader in this segment.
