Honda’s presence in the electric two-wheeler space has long been limited to one-off scooters and bikes. But all that is set to change with the Japanese maker unveiling a performance electric motorcycle called the EV Fun Concept at this year’s EICMA motorcycle trade show.
Acceleration of a 650. Range of 62mi.

Oh and it will likely look nothing like the concept, as always. The rider triangle is much too sporty to be “for the masses” and it has no turn signals and useless fenders.
IMO, electric motorbikes don’t make any sense - they’re not for cities, and they’re not for road-tripping because their range stinks. They’re an insistence on round-peg in a square hole; they’re a mechanical horse.
What we need is tiny one-person electric cars - the limit on range at highway speeds is aerodynamics, and motorbikes just aren’t as aerodynamic as putting the human inside a shell.
In what way are they not for cities? I think that’s what they’re best at.
