The EM1 e: is Honda’s first electric two-wheeler for customers in Europe, following the announcement in September 2022 of the company’s plans to introduce 10 or more electric two-wheelers worldwide by 2025. It is also a notable first step towards meeting Honda’s stated goal of carbon neutrality for all its motorcycle lines during the 2040s.
The acronym “EM” stands for Electric Moped and the model is aimed squarely at a young audience looking for easy, fun and emission-free urban transportation. It’s compact, flat-floored, with a smooth style that marks its difference and unique identity within the Honda range.
Perfect for short journeys around town and for making trips to work or college efficiently, quietly and without emissions, the EM1 e: is perfectly in tune with modern expectations of urban mobility.
And, as increasing local parking legislation in European cities restricts the use of traditional internal combustion engines (ICEs), it’s only natural that the market for electric vehicles is growing. Honda is now entering this space with a new high-quality option for both young drivers and short-distance users.
For a typical student, who can make a total “lap” of 30 km around the city during a normal day, the EM1 e: is an attractive proposition: simple to drive and handle, quiet and environmentally friendly.
