Honda is expanding its electric lineup to motorcycles with the debut of its first electric motorcycle model, which it will first sell in Europe.

The WN7 is part of the Japanese automaker’s goal of producing no net carbon dioxide pollution companywide by 2050, including a completely carbon-neutral motorcycle lineup by 2040.

“To this end, Honda is positioning motorcycle electrification as a core pillar of its future environmental strategy,” the company said in a press release announcing the WN7.

The model is a fixed-battery standard motorcycle that it puts squarely in the “fun” segment. It plans to later add commuter electric motorcycle models.

WN7 stands for, W – “Be the Wind,” N – naked, or standard, and 7 – representing the output class.

Honda said the model builds on its 75 years of motorcycle development, delivering a “quiet and smooth ride” compared to gas-powered motorcycles. It estimates its range at 83 miles per charge on a fixed lithium-ion battery.

The automaker didn’t indicate if or when it plans to expand its market for the bike beyond Europe, where motorcycles are popular urban commuter vehicles.
