Teasers and Speculation: What’s Coming?
On September 2, Honda will unveil its latest electrifying creation, and the motorcycle community is buzzing with excitement. The brand has been slowly teasing this electric motorcycle with camouflaged images on social media, leaving us all wondering: what’s underneath that disguise?
From Scooters to Sportbikes: An Honest-to-Goodness Motorcycle?
Unlike its cheeky little e-scooter siblings, this new electric model seems to be a full-fledged motorcycle aimed at the average rider. With conventional proportions, a two-up seat, and a sleek design reminiscent of the EV fun concept from last year’s Milan motorcycle show, it’s clear Honda is embracing the electrification of powered two-wheelers in earnest.
What Does This Mean for Riders?
As Honda’s strategy unfolds, it aligns with a broader trend where electric motorcycle makers focus on urban-friendly, street commuter bikes. These bikes expertly leverage the strengths of electric drivetrains, making them perfect for city dwellers. Remember, Honda promised at least 10 electric motorcycle models by 2025, and the excitement is building to see if this model fulfills that promise.
While we await the big reveal, it’s intriguing to think about whether Honda will incorporate swappable batteries into this model, like the EM1 e:. Whatever the specifications, one thing’s for sure: the landscape of electric motorcycles is about to get a whole lot more exciting, and Honda is ready to ride into the future!
