Honda Is Coming For Harley-Davidson With Its New Electric Performance Motorcycle

Honda’s new electric performance motorcycle, the WN7, is set to challenge Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire dominance in the segment. The article says Honda has officially entered the category with its first full-size electric motorcycle, positioning it for riders seeking performance and everyday usability. Power comes from a 9.3-kWh lithium-ion battery driving a single electric motor rated at 67 horsepower and 74 lb-ft of torque. Honda claims more than 87 miles of combined city and highway range, and highlights faster charging via the CCS2 car-charging network, allowing a 20 to 80 percent charge in about 30 minutes. In Europe, the WN7 is described as undercutting the LiveWire One on price. Design details include a “frameless chassis” concept, distinctive LED lighting, and an exposed new Honda logo, signaling its electric push.
