-
Honda just had a press conference where they talked about how they will be selling 100% electric vehicles by 2040. Honestly, I didn’t walk away very happy after hearing that news as I’m a massive Honda automobile fan too. I’ve owned countless models and my favorite, hands down – the Honda S2000. The experience you get while rowing through the gears and hearing that 9,000 rpm redline as the engine screams like it’s sitting in your lap. The days of Honda building new cars where the engine is a masterpiece, something that you would prefer to listen to over the radio. Those days are gone when electric cars take over. No more being able to hop in your new car and do this just because you love the way the engine sounds:To get more news about emobility, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

Let’s talk about why you clicked on this page and that has to do with new electric motorcycles and scooters from Honda that WILL be coming by 2024 and we’ll see more in the 2022 – 2023 model year and of course we’ll also see some new released shortly as well to wet your whistle in the meantime.

Honda will strive to lead the motorcycle industry at the forefront of its environmental initiatives with an approach which will include not only electrification but also the improvement of the fuel efficiency of gasoline engines, utilization of biofuels and other strategies.
For personal-use customers, we must not only enhance our product lineup but also make a large number of battery-swapping stations available and ensure convenience to users by making them compatible with EVs of other makers. To this end, Honda has established a consortium with other motorcycle OEMs in Japan and Europe, respectively, to develop technology standards for swappable batteries. You can learn more about the partnership with . Honda has a vision to expand applications beyond motorcycles to power products and micro-mobility products. With this vision, we have begun demonstration testing in India using “rickshaw” type tricycle taxis.
Honda plans to announce (3) new electric motorcycle models by 2024 that are for personal use and not business use like some of their other product lines. These won’t be full-size electric motorcycles, Honda is aiming for something smaller with these new electric models fitting into categories where you would normally see a 49 cc scooter like the Metropolitan and Ruckus scooters. They are also going to be doing a slightly larger electric bike too, something that would fit into the below 125 cc category similar to the Grom 125 and Monkey motorcycles. Check out the most recent for the future that Honda is working on by . When will the first electric Honda motorcycles and scooters start to release in the USA though? That’s the million dollar question that we’re still a little ways out from being able to answer with any certainty.
Add that in with all of the electric motorcycle patents that Honda has been filing and Honda is definitely hard at work to bring electrification into the powersports world. How all of this is going to pan out with electric ATVs, electric UTV / SxS / Side by Side models and electric motorcycles etc is definitely going to be interesting. Am I looking forward to it though? From the fact that I’m super curious on how all of this goes down, yeah I’m looking forward to it.
