The Honda E-VO is the brand’s first electric bike, made in collaboration with its Chinese partner– Wuyang. The E-VO is a cafe racer-looking thing that is available in two variants– 4.1kWh and 6.2kWh

This model weighs in at 156kg and can also be charged via a home charger in 2hour 30mins or a traditional car-charger in 1hour 30mins. Both the battery packs power the motor that produces a peak power of 15.3kW.
The E-VO runs on an unconventional 16/14-inch (F/R) wheel setup shod in semi-slick tyres and also gets dual-channel ABS. The chassis features a forged all-aluminium build.
Wuyang Honda E VO features
The E-VO’s feature list is also generous with some innovative firsts. It gets three riding modes (Eco /Normal/ Sport), 7-inch TFT dash with a secondary TFT of the same size that communicates navigation, music, tire pressure and battery SOC information among others. The smaller battery pack gets a front-dash cam whereas the larger battery model adds a rear-dash cam to the package. It is available in two colours– black and white.
Priced at CNY 30,000 (Rs 3.56 lakh approx) for the 4.1kWh battery variant and CNY 37,000 (Rs 4.39 lakh approx) for the 6.2kWh variant. This electric bike is made specially for the Chinese market with their regional partner Wuyang and it is unlikely that Honda launches the E-VO in India.
