Honda EV Fun - electric motorbike produced in 2025

The EV Fun concept isn't a production version yet, and Honda promises it will be available in 2025. It was shown at the EICMA show in Milan, and there's not much information about its specifications yet.

Honda calls the EV Fun an “electric sports car equivalent to a mid-size internal combustion engine motorcycle.” However, the term “mid-size” is quite broad, ranging from 250cc and 30 horsepower to 750cc and 100 horsepower. The EV Fun is expected to fall somewhere in between, with the rims, tires, suspension, and brakes suggesting it’s a fairly high-performance bike.

The use of Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires in sizes 180/55-17 at the rear and 120/70-17 at the front, plus two Nissin four-piston calipers at the front, upside-down forks and a single-sided swingarm suggest a strong performance. The size of the bike is also quite large, suggesting a longer wheelbase than the CB750 Hornet.

There's no gearshift or clutch lever, and Honda keeps the conventional braking arrangement - front brake on the left handlebar, rear brake on the left pedal - rather than the scooter-style arrangement with brakes on each handlebar. The battery is large and non-removable, housed in a box-shaped unit that sits where the motor would normally be.

While Honda hasn’t revealed the car’s power output, the company has confirmed that it will use the CCS2 charging system – the most common combined charging system for electric vehicles in Europe. The system allows for both fast DC charging and slow AC charging. The presence of CCS2 means that the Honda EV Fun can be quickly recharged at public fast charging stations.

Honda claims a range of over 100km for the new electric scooter, which the company says is “good enough for city use”.

Belt drive systems are often preferred for electric motorcycles because without the sound of the engine to mask the noise, the sound from a chain drive can be quite obvious and unpleasant.

In addition to the EV Fun Concept, Honda also brought to EICMA the EV Urban Concept - a large scooter. The EV Urban shares many details with the EV Fun. The vehicle is equipped with a single-sided swingarm and belt drive, with the possibility of the EV Urban sharing the powertrain with the EV Fun. However, unlike the EV Fun Concept, Honda has not made any commitments about the EV Urban going into mass production.
