In the next three years, Honda will launch more than 10 100% electric motorcyclesthat will appear progressively until 2025. The new battery-powered two-wheelers include models such as scooters, motorcycles with Look retro and naked bikes.
the brand that controls 7% of the world motorcycle market – which is equivalent to about 50 million vehicles a year, most of which are low-power models sold in China – is committed to anticipating the needs of the market. It is also expected that it will soon and increasingly reveal a clear preference for battery-powered electric motorcycles.
The electric motorcycle program is intended to supply markets such as Europe, China and Japan. And to make the models more desirable, Honda believes some, or all, will need to be equipped with easily interchangeable batteries at interchange stations, where the cyclist arrives with a discharged battery and, in a matter of minutes, leaves with a recharged battery. All for a price slightly higher than a simple charge.
Five of the new electric vehicles are intended for those who regularly commute from the outskirts to the center of large cities. Affordable in terms of price, they will hit the market between the end of this year and 2025. There will also be two more powerful and fun-to-ride bikes, which are planned for 2024 and 2025. And the last three models should appear. Closer to 2025, Honda probably hopes to have access to better batteries, with higher energy density, which would allow smaller and lighter batteries to be mounted, while increasing range.
