First unveiled at Eicma in November 2024 as a static concept, Honda Ev Fun — the brand’s first electric motorcycle — has recently returned in the form of a dynamic prototype, confirming Honda’s intention to bring it to market during the coming year
A year ago nothing was known, and today only a little more has been revealed. The “EV Fun” concept, introduced at EICMA 2024 as Honda’s first electric two-wheeler project, remains shrouded in mystery when it comes to technical specifications and performance. No details have been released about the powertrain, none about the battery pack — a fixed unit with CCS2 fast-charging capability, the same standard used in cars — and nothing about weight or performance figures.
Honda has only reiterated that the real-world range will be around 100 kilometers, that the bike will deliver performance comparable to its current mid-displacement models, and that it will open the door to a product line aimed at achieving the company’s carbon-neutrality goals: across all motorcycle products by 2040 and all corporate activities by 2050.
In essence, “EV Fun” was — and still is — presented as a technological exercise, but with a key difference between the 2024 concept and the latest version. The first was static, whereas the one unveiled in early September is dynamic: in camouflaged form, it has already begun road testing to assess real-world functionality.
It’s easy to imagine that in about a month, at Eicma 2025, Honda will showcase a semi-final version of the motorcycle. In terms of design, it is unlikely to differ much from last year’s concept, which was far too refined to be considered anything less than a pre-production prototype.
