Honda E-VO breaks cover as the brand’s first-ever electric motorcycle
The Honda E-VO is a cafe racer-styled maiden electric motorcycle specifically for China, but looks promising.
Check Offers Honda has taken the wraps off its first-ever electric motorcycle. The new Honda E-VO remains specific to China at the moment, and is being built in collaboration with the brand’s local partner, Guangzhou. Honda’s maiden e-motorcycle is a café racer-styled offering bringing a retro touch to the otherwise modern package. The new Honda E-VO will be sold under the Wuyang-Honda brand in China for now.
The new Honda E-VO brings a nice take on e-motorcycles with its inspired design. The model features a round headlamp with a bubble-type fairing that blends into the rest of the panels. The sides are covered giving the bike a full-faired styling, albeit has a boxy appearance. The E-VO also uses a single-piece seat, while hardware like the clip-on handlebars and bar-end mirrors complete the look. The e-bike rides on 16-inch front and 14-inch rear alloy wheels, which is a rather unique setup.

The 6.2 kWh variant will get a triple-battery setup and weighs a heavier 156 kg. It also takes longer to charge at two hours and 30 minutes.

The company recently ventured in the electric mobility space with the QC1 and Activa e and that appears to be the brand’s focus in the near-term.
