Honda electric racer goes retro

Honda has unashamedly turned to the hallowed halls of its past for inspiration when creating the cracking RC-E electric radce concept.

Taking after the models of the 1960's, but with a modern twist, the RC-E is the company’s new battery-electric motorcycle concept built with a 250cc chassis.

Sporting the colours of Honda’s famous 1960's RC series racing motorcycles, the RC-E is powered by batteries carried where you’d normally find the fueJ tank

'JOY OF RIDING'

According to Honda, the RC-E was "designed to pursue the joy of riding” and adds: "The powerful and smooth ride unique to an EV model is achieved with the 250cc-class compact body."
