Honda has unveiled two electric motorcycle concept models, ‘EV Fun Concept’ and the ‘EV Urban Concept’ at EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy.
This comes on the back of a news circulating in the Indian media space about the Japanese two-wheeler major in advanced stages of launching a stylish and technologically advanced electric scooter in India by the end of this fiscal or in early 2025 calendar year.
Talking about the two electric motorcycle concepts, the ‘EV Fun Concept’ is Honda’s first electric sports model and will be commercial made available in 2025.
Developed as a next-generation electric motorcycle that offers a new sensation of quiet riding and an emotional feeling that is unique to electric motorcycles, the ‘EV Fun Concept’ leverages the Japanese automakers’ long-developed motorcycle technologies to put-together a machine that is quiet, vibration-free, slim and easy-to-manage.
The last bit could be attributed to the chassis package realised by a fixed battery. The charging system for the concept e-motorcycle was developed by applying the company’s know-how and technologies cultivated in its automobiles and power products. The battery is compatible with the CCS2 quick charger and has been developed to optimise the balance between light weight and quick charging performance. The range the motorcycle will offer will be over 100 km for a single charge.
The EV Urban Concept is an electric model that embodies Honda’s vision of urban electric mobility with its function-focused design, connected technologies and in-house developed battery pack.
The concept e-motorcycle embodies the Japanese automaker’s vision of what urban electric mobility should be like. It underscores a vision of near-future mobility that cooperates and resonates with people and society through its essential and sophisticated styling, intuitive human-machine interface (HMI), and new experiences created by the fusion of software and hardware.
Making strong progress toward its plan to introduce 30 electric models globally by 2030, Honda is accelerating its efforts to develop a full lineup of electric motorcycles to meet the diversifying needs of customers and promote the development of a wide variety of electric vehicles.
The company is expanding its global market share in the field of electric motorcycles.
