Honda has officially unveiled its first electric motorcycle, called the Honda E-VO electric bike. The bike was recently launched in China and was developed in partnership between Honda and Guangzhou.
The Honda E-VO will be sold under the Wuyang-Honda brand for the Chinese market only. The launch marks the start of a new chapter in Honda’s EV portfolio-and its design, features, and performance specs look quite promising.

Honda E-VO electric bike Design: Quirky Cafe Racer Styling with Modern Feel.
The Honda E-VO is designed in a cafe-racer style that looks quite different and attractive. It gets round headlamps that fit inside a bubble-type fairing, giving the overall styling a retro-modern fusion look.
The bike’s boxy mid-section smartly conceals the battery pack, which makes the overall profile look clean and balanced. From the front to the back, there is a flow in the design. Stepped single-piece seat, clip-on handlebars, and bar-end mirrors complete the cafe-racer theme.
Battery Variants And Range: Claimed Mileage Upto 170km.
The Honda E-VO electric bike has been launched in two different battery configurations:
- 4.1 kWh variant – It offers a dual battery setup. It has a claimed WMTC range of 120km.
- 6.3 kWh variant – It comes with a triple battery setup with a claimed WMTC range of 170km.
Power comes from the same motor in both variants – a 15.3kW electric motor that is designed to deliver efficient and powerful performance.
Charging Time And Weight: Efficient Charging Setup
- The 4.1 kWh variant weighs 143kg and takes up to 1.5 hours to fully charge.
- The 6.3 kWh trim is a bit heavy, 156kg, and it takes up to 2.5 hours to charge.
This means that both variants are ideal for city use and short touring, especially considering fast charging capability.
Chassis, Wheels And Brakes: Balanced And Stylish Setup
The entire setup of the Honda E-VO electric bike is based on a forged aluminium chassis, which is light yet strong. The size of the wheels has also been made unique – a combo of 16-inch at the front and 14-inch at the back has been given.
The braking setup also gets single-disc brakes at both ends, which are quite practical and efficient for urban and spirited riding.
Honda E-VO electric bike Features: From TFT Screens to Dash Cam.
Both variants of Honda E-VO have quite impressive features available, but the higher variant has some extras:
Both variants have:
- Two 7-inch TFT screens
- 3 riding modes
- Navigation and music control
- Tyre pressure monitoring system
- Low variant has front dash cam
- High-end 6.3kWh trim has rear dash cam as well
All these features make this electric bike a premium tech-oriented product that offers both daily usability and safety.
E-VO electric bike Price: Launch in China, no plans for India yet
The maximum price of the Honda E-VO electric bike in China goes up to CNY 37,000, which is approximately ₹4.39 lakh (converted) in Indian currency.
Its launch in India is unlikely as of now, but Honda already offers two electric scooters in the Indian market:
- Activa e – ₹1.05 lakh (ex-showroom)
- Honda QC1 – ₹1.17 lakh (ex-showroom)
Conclusion: Final Opinion.
Honda E-VO clearly shows that the brand is now serious about making its presence in the EV motorcycle segment. In all aspects, from design, range, and tech features, this bike gives a premium urban electric cafe-racer feel.
Until it comes to India, we can only hope that Honda will launch such bikes in the Indian market in the future.
