A first for Wuyang Honda is the E-VO electric motorcycle (e-bike), unveiled in Beijing, China. Intended only for the China e-bike market, the E-VO is styled like a cafe racer and is intended for urban riding.
There are two battery options offered – 4.1 kWh and 6.2 kWh – contained in a dual battery setup. The 4.1 kWh battery pack has a claimed World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WTMC) range of 120 km, with charging time taking 90 minutes with domestic current or 60 minutes using a car charger.
Using the 6.3 kWh battery with its three batteries increases range to 170 km with charging time claimed to be 150 minutes with domestic current and 90 minutes on a car charger. Both versions of the E-VO carry the same electric motor, a 15.53 kW unit producing the equivalent of 21.5 peak horsepower and 11 continuous hp.
With a governed maximum speed of 120 km/h, the E-VO weighs in at 156 kg for the 6.3 kWh three battery variant and 143 kg for the two battery version. Seat height is set at 765 mm and suspension uses a telescopic fork in front holding a 16-inch wheel and monoshock at the back with a 14-inch wheel.
Inside the cockpit, a 7-inch TFT-LCD screen displays all the necessary information including navigation, music, tire pressure monitoring, and battery status, and DJI camera connectivity. Riding conveniences include keyless unlocking and DVR cameras, the 6.3 kWh E-VO coming with foot and rear cameras and the 4.1 kWh fitted with a front camera.
Looks like modern-retro Showa-era Kamen Rider bikes…
