Intro

The Honda EV Fun Concept is leaving the show stand and nearing production, with a global unveil coming soon for a model ready for a 2025 commercial launch. For riders waiting on a credible electric naked that uses car charging, the Honda EV Fun Concept is the first real swing from a mainstream brand. That’s why it matters now.

What Honda is saying

Led by veteran engineer Masatsugu Tanaka, the project’s key concept is ‘Be the Wind,’ aiming to deliver a new emotional experience unique to electric motorcycles. Honda has positioned the EV Fun Concept as a mid-size electric motorcycle – with performance expected to be equivalent to a 500cc internal combustion engine (ICE) bike – that features a fixed battery and CCS2 quick charging, designed with a focus on ride feel and urban usability rather than just raw specifications.

• Fixed battery with CCS2 for public charger access.
• City range north of 100 km for weekday rides.
• Performance like a mid-displacement ICE.

Design and everyday use

Expect a clean naked-bike stance with tidy bodywork and a large rectangular TFT display, which replaces the concept’s circular screen. The production model retains the single-sided swingarm and a belt final drive to keep maintenance low and the ride smooth. Changes from the concept include a larger headlight unit with stacked LEDs, and a more conventional five-stud rear wheel setup.

• Belt drive means less mess – less maintenance, more riding.
• Big TFT means clear info and connectivity.
• Road testing suggests tuning for real world comfort, charging and control.

Charging, range and real life

The headline is CCS2 fast charging: plug into car chargers and top up on the move. That pairs with a cruising range of ‘over 100 km’ (62 miles), which Honda has stated is enough for city use. The trade off is long distance touring, but for city-first riders the convenience is hard to ignore.

• CCS2 quick charging on a fixed pack for simpler stops.
• 100+ km urban range as a daily envelope.
• Fast top-ups to offset moderate battery size.

Timeline and rollout

New imagery and development chatter points to an imminent global debut, likely with the fall show cycle. Europe looks like the first market for delivery, with broader rollouts to follow. If the pace holds, expect final specs and pricing to be announced soon after the reveal.

• Global reveal soon, commercialization 2025.
• Europe first; more to follow.
• Check power, battery, price and market list at launch.

Final thought

Honda’s first electric motorcycle is for everyday riders: car charging, city range and Honda reliability. For buyers it’s all about the details – which will be revealed soon.
