Concept models

EV FUN Concept

The EV FUN Concept is Honda’s first electric sports model. It offers performance equivalent to a midsized internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle and is scheduled for commercialisation in 2025. In addition to the top level of handling cultivated by Honda over decades, the EV FUN Concept brings the quiet, vibrationfree ride that is only possible with electric power in an easytomanage naked motorcycle package with a sleek, futuristic design language.

Developed by applying knowhow and technologies cultivated in Honda’s automobiles and power products, the EV FUN Concept’s battery is compatible with the CCS2 quick charger (the same standard as automobiles) and has been developed to find the optimal balance between light weight and quick charging performance. It will provide a cruising range of over 100km.

EV Urban Concept

The EV Urban Concept is an electric model that embodies Honda’s vision of urban electric mobility with its function focused design, connected technologies and in house developed battery pack. It embodies a vision of near future mobility that cooperates and resonates with people and society through its essential and sophisticated styling and intuitive human machine interface (HMI), while promising new experiences created by the fusion of software and hardware. Honda’s goal is to open up the freedom of mobility to as many customers as possible, and to expand the possibilities of mobility for each and every customer.

V3 internal combustion engine concept

Also on display at EICMA 2024 is a new high efficiency, high performance Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) concept which is being newly developed for larger displacement motorcycles. Designed to be extremely slim and compact, the watercooled 75° V3 engine features the world’s first electrical compressor for motorcycles, which is able to control compression of the intake air irrespective of engine rpm, meaning that high response torque can be delivered across the full rpm range. In addition, the electrical compressor allows a high degree of freedom of layout of all components in the limited space available on a motorcycle, and an efficient centralisation of mass.

25YM lineup

CUV e
