\n\t\"Why<\/figure>\n

Year after year, a seemingly endless raft of all-electric concept bikes wearing Honda badges have made their way across the motor show stage without ever making it onto the dealer showroom. But now, it\u2019s here: this unmissable, cafe racer-inspired electric Honda motorcycle is the company\u2019s first \u2013\u00a0and you can buy it!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We got our first look at this first-ever production electric motorcycle from Honda back in March, when leaked type-approval documents<\/a> hinted at a 75 mph 125 cc-class motorcycle with cafe racer styling and a \u201cWH8000D\u201d designation first surfaced. It was clear, then, that Honda was seriously working on a for-real electric motorcycle \u2013\u00a0what wasn\u2019t clear was when (or even if<\/em><\/a>) it would ever see productions.<\/p>\n

The wait is over<\/h2>\n\n

The new Honda E-VO is available in dual- or triple-battery versions that feature either 4.1 or 6.2 kWh of battery capacity. On the triple-pack version, riders can enjoy up to 170 km WMTC (about 105 miles) of riding. Recharging takes about 2.5 hours on a standard outlet or about 90 minutes on an L2 (like the Harley-Davidson backed Livewire<\/a> or Vespa Elettrica<\/a> electric bikes, DC fast charging is not available).<\/p>\n

Both battery configurations drive a motor with a peak power of 15.3 kW, or about 20 hp. And, like all electric motors, all the torque is available at 0 rpm, giving the Honda E-VO in-town performance similar to much higher (than 125 cc) displacement bikes.<\/p>\n

In addition to superior stop-and-go performance, the Honda E-VO offers riders a number of other innovative (for a motorcycle) features, including a 7-inch TFT instrument display paired with a second<\/em> 7-inch TFT screen for navigation, music, tire pressure, and battery SOC information. The smaller battery pack version of the E-VO includes a front dash cam, while the larger model has both a front and<\/em> rear dash cam as standard equipment.<\/p>\n

The Honda E-VO is available in the black and off-white color schemes (shown). Prices start at 29,999 yuan, or about $4500 for the 4.1 kWh version, and 36,999 yuan (about $5100) for the 6.2 kWh triple-pack version.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, this is a Chinese-market bike built by Honda\u2019s Chinese Wuyang venture<\/a>. No, we probably won\u2019t ever get something like this in the US, where a raucous, 113 hp 600 cc CBR600RR is somehow positioned as a \u201cgood starter bike\u201d by cowards with 3\u2033 wide chicken strips on their tires. That said, if the motorcycle industry as-a-whole wants to survive in North America, zippy, affordable, lightweight motorcycles are exactly what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping we get something like this stateside rather sooner than later.<\/p>\n
