Honda launches E-VO electric motorcycle exclusive to China, for now
Could this mean an electric Honda motorcycle for the Philippines in the near future?
Honda has just rolled out its newest electric motorcycle—but don’t get too excited just yet. The all-new E-VO is built by Wuyang-Honda, Honda’s joint venture in China, and for now, it’s a China-only model. Still, it’s a significant step as it marks the JV’s first full-fledged electric motorcycle and shows where the brand could be headed globally.
Two versions of the E-VO are available. The top-spec model, which uses three batteries, delivers a WMTC-tested top speed of 120km/h and a range of 170km. That one’s priced at ¥36,999, or around P296,000. The more affordable two-battery version reaches 110km/h with a 120km range, and goes for ¥29,999—or roughly P240,000.
For that price, you’re getting more than just decent urban performance. The E-VO makes 8kW (11hp) continuously, and up to 15.8kW (21hp) in short bursts—enough to handle city riding and short hops on faster roads. Charging is another highlight: the three-battery setup charges in just 90 minutes with a car-style EV charger, or 150 minutes using a regular wall socket. The smaller version charges even quicker, topping up in as little as 60 minutes.
The tech is just as impressive. A 7-inch TFT screen sits up front, offering navigation, tire pressure monitoring, battery status, music, and even DJI camera integration. It also comes with keyless ignition and front/rear DVR cameras—features we’d expect on far pricier bikes.
So, will we see the E-VO here? Probably not anytime soon. Wuyang-Honda tends to focus on domestic Chinese models, separate from Honda’s global lineup. But if the E-VO proves popular, it’s not impossible that Honda could adapt it—or develop a similar bike—for international markets.
Which brings up a bigger question: is the Philippines ready for mainstream electric motorcycles? EV cars like the BYD Dolphin and Tesla Model 3 are slowly becoming more common, but the two-wheeled space has yet to see a real breakout hit. With high fuel prices and worsening traffic, electric motorcycles could make perfect sense for Filipino riders—if brands can strike the right balance of price, performance, and charging support.
