In the midst of a decline in global sales of electric motorcycles, particularly in the UK where larger electric motorcycles saw a significant drop in purchases, Honda stands out for its commitment to advancing electric technology in the motorcycle industry. While other leading manufacturers like Triumph have shelved their electric projects and the market for full-sized EVs is mainly dominated by specialist players like Zero and Harley-Davidson, Honda continues to push forward. The company has already introduced the EM1-e electric 50cc equivalent scooter and is set to release the CUVe commercial version, along with a full-size 47bhp+ electric 'leisure' bike later this year. Honda's ambition is evident in their plan to launch 30 new EV models globally by 2030, with the recent unveiling of two electric concepts including an 'EV FUN Concept' set for commercialization in 2025. Additionally, Honda's introduction of a high-efficiency internal combustion engine concept, the 'V3 internal combustion engine concept', offers a greener alternative for motorcycling. With Honda leading the way in electric innovation and sustainable technology, the future of electric motorcycles looks promising.
