Honda has hinted at all-electric motorcycle concepts in the past, but it has rarely gone all-in for two-wheeled electrification with a production version. That seems to have changed with the Wuyang-Honda WH8000D bike developed in collaboration with a Chinese joint venture, Guangzhou Motorcycle Group.<\/p>\n

Before the E\u2011VO, Honda\u2019s focus was on practical scooters and underbone motorcycles that had limited appeal. Their new electric caf\u00e9 racer marks a radical shift from their usual offerings. Launched at Beijing\u2019s Shougang Park in late May 2025, this full-size electric motorcycle is the first of its kind from the Honda\u2013Guangzhou partnership, although they have created vehicles in the past.<\/p>\n

At first glance, the E\u2011VO impresses with its neo-retro flair. A sculpted half-fairing and round LED headlight evoke the style of vintage caf\u00e9 racers, while bar-end mirrors, inverted front forks, dual discs with ABS, and adjustable levers reflect its modern, sporty intent. It\u2019s offered in two refined schemes: black with red trim or off\u2011white with orange accents and a tan saddle. Power comes from an 8\u202fkW (11\u202fhp) hub motor, peaking at around 15\u201315.8\u202fkW (20\u201321.5\u202fhp), having acceleration and top speed comparable to 150\u2013250\u202fcc petrol bikes, the EV delivers 0 to 50\u202fkm\/h in about 2.8 seconds and a top speed touching 120\u202fkm\/h.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Battery options include a dual 4.1\u202fkWh pack with a range of approximately\u202f120\u202fkm, or a tri 6.2\u202fkWh pack having a range of\u202faround 170\u202fkm. Domestic charging from a standard socket takes 90 minutes for the smaller pack and about 150 minutes for the larger pack. That said, the lack of DC fast charging draws criticism, as do the modest ranges and mid-tier charging speeds compared to some competitors. Weighing approximately 315\u202flb for the small battery and 344\u202flb for the larger, the bike rides on 16\u2011inch front and 14\u2011inch rear wheels with inverted forks and a rear monoshock.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Modern features include a 7\u2011inch TFT screen that displays speed, battery level, tire pressure, navigation, music controls, and other vital HUD elements. It supports smartphone and DJI camera connections. The standard model includes a front-facing dash cam. The higher trims offer additional rear and foot-mounted cameras. Safety and convenience are boosted by cruise control, traction control, hill-start assist, three ride modes (Eco, Normal, Sport), a boost button for extra torque, and keyless ignition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Priced aggressively at around US$4,500 for the 4.1\u202fkWh version and US$5,100 for the 6.2\u202fkWh version, the E\u2011VO offers strong value in its home market. Still, skeptics argue that ICE bikes at similar prices may prove more practical for many, while higher-end electric models deliver better range and performance. Although it carries Honda branding, the E\u2011VO is a regional model tailored specifically for China and does not appear on Honda\u2019s global electric roadmap, at least not yet. Yet, given Honda\u2019s declared global goal of 10 electric motorcycle models by 2025 and 15\u202fpercent of bike sales electric by 2030, the E\u2011VO represents a strategic testbed alongside broader expansion plans.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
