Equipped with an Integrated Central Motor and Belt Transmission, Honda’s New Electric Motorcycle Reaches Peaks of 70 Hp and Delivers the Power of a 750cc
The electric motorcycle market is about to be shaken by a heavyweight launch. Honda, the global leader in motorcycle sales, has confirmed that on September 2, 2025, it will officially present its first large electric model. Inspired by the EV Fun concept showcased at EICMA 2024, the new motorcycle ushers in a new era for the Japanese manufacturer, which is now fully entering the competition for fossil fuel-free mobility.
The announcement has generated great anticipation, not only because of the heavyweight name involved but also because this time it is not just a simple urban scooter or a lightweight solution for daily use. We are talking about an electric motorcycle with size and performance equivalent to a 750cc combustion engine — something that could change the balance of power in a segment still undergoing transformation.
An Architecture Designed to Compete with the Big Players
Although Honda still keeps many of the final specifications under wraps, the first data released and the teaser from July already allow for a profile of the model to be drawn. The motorcycle will feature a central motor integrated with a fixed battery, belt transmission, and a sophisticated mono-arm swingarm. The estimated continuous power is around 48 hp, with peaks that can reach 70 hp.

The proposal goes beyond aesthetics: the coaxial transmission system between the motor and the rear suspension has been designed to ensure a smoother, quieter ride with minimal vibrations, as well as virtually eliminating the need for maintenance. Even so, the adoption of a traditional two-sided swingarm in the final version is not ruled out as a way to cut costs.
Sharp Design and Naked Spirit: The Concept Remains
Although the final visual is still partially camouflaged, the key features remain true to the original concept. The motorcycle presents an aggressive front design, with striking lines, a raised tank, and a silhouette inspired by modern nakeds. Many have already compared its style to the LiveWire S2 line, but with that refined touch that only Honda can deliver.
The most important thing: this will not be a low-cost adaptation for local markets, nor an evolution of the Wuyang E-VO sold exclusively in China. Honda has made it clear that this will be its flagship electric model, designed to operate in the global market and to establish a presence in a niche that still offers significant room for growth.
No Price Announced, But with a Clear Mission
So far, the Japanese manufacturer has not revealed data such as range — estimated to be around 100 km per charge — nor weight or price range. However, the communication strategy indicates that the priority is to showcase technological robustness before entering the sales competition. For Honda, this motorcycle is not just another model: it is the beginning of a high-performance electric line that is expected to evolve rapidly in the coming years.
The official presentation scheduled for September will be decisive for understanding how much of the original prototype has been retained in the production version. But one thing is already certain: Honda does not intend to fall behind in the electric race. And with this launch, it may not only enter the game — but take the lead in the match.
