As electric mobility steadily gains traction in the Philippines, major manufacturers are moving beyond small-displacement commuter scooters. The 2026 Makina Moto Expo provided a definitive look at the future of urban riding with the preview of the Honda WN7—the brand’s first full-sized electric motorcycle designed specifically for the local market.
Electric Powertrain and Output
The WN7 is built to deliver immediate, uncompromising power tailored for city overtaking and fast-paced urban transit.
-
The Battery: Power is drawn from a high-capacity 9.3-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.
-
Performance Metrics: The electric motor generates an impressive 67 horsepower and a massive 100 Nm of torque. Because it is a fully electric drivetrain, that torque is available the exact millisecond the throttle is twisted, providing acceleration that easily rivals traditional middleweight combustion engines.
Design Architecture
Visually, the WN7 abandons the utilitarian look of early EVs for a sharp, aggressive streetfighter stance.
-
Lighting and Visibility: The front fascia is defined by compact twin projector LED headlights integrated with angular daytime running lights (DRLs), giving the bike a distinctive signature in rearview mirrors.
-
Instrumentation: Telemetry is managed through a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, providing precise readouts on battery state-of-charge, range estimation, and motor output.
With an official showroom release slated for June 2026, the Honda WN7 represents a serious shift in the Philippine market, offering a high-performance, sustainable alternative for the daily rider.
