Honda's first electric bike E-VO launched with range is 170 km; Know the price and features

Honda has launched its maiden e-motorbike, the E-VO, in China. It has made this bike in association with its Chinese partner company, Wuyang-Honda. Its design has a retro-style cafe racer feel to it. But the motorcycle features incredible levels of modern technology and performance. The e-motorbike is the company's maiden venture in the e-bike segment. But for now, the bike is being sold only in China.

Honda E-VO has two battery options: one being a 4.1 kWh dual battery and the other being a 6.2 kWh triple battery. The range of the lower battery variant has been put at 120 km, with the car's weight being 143 kg. On the other hand, the bigger battery version has a range of 170 km and weighs a little more, 156 kg. Both versions are equipped with a 15.8kW (about 21 horsepower) electric motor, which takes the bike's top speed to 120 km per hour. The charging time of the battery is also very less. The smaller battery takes 1 to 1.5 hours to charge, and the bigger battery takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on the charger used.

Where the E-VO attracts the most attention is its advanced tech features. It is one of the world's first electric bikes to get integrated dashcams. The 4.1 kWh variant has a front dashcam, while the 6.2 kWh version also has a rear dashcam. The bike has two 7-inch TFT displays - one for the instrument cluster and the other for functions like navigation, music controls, tire pressure monitoring (TPMS), and battery status. It has three modes for riding - Eco, Normal, and Sport. That not only controls the performance of the bike, but also affects the regenerative braking.
