Honda Wins Multiple Red Dot Design Awards Beyond WN7 Electric Bike
Hey riders, it’s Paige Turner from BlueMoto, and I’m pumped about this one! Honda isn’t just building bikes — they’re winning big on the design stage too.
In the 2026 Red Dot Product Design Awards, Honda scored four major wins, including the prestigious “Best of the Best” honors for not one, but two products: the brand-new WN7 electric motorcycle and the UNI-ONE seated mobility robot. The all-new Prelude hybrid sports car and the Miimo robotic mowers also picked up Red Dot Awards. That’s design excellence across motorcycles, cars, robotics, and power equipment — all under one roof!
Let’s talk about the star of the show for us moto fans: the Honda WN7. This is Honda’s first full-size electric naked bike, built under the “Be the Wind” concept. It rocks a clever frameless structure where the battery case actually forms part of the chassis, keeping it slim, lightweight, and super flexible in layout. The standout feature? That bold horizontal-bar headlight — Honda says it’s going to become the signature look for their future electric motorcycles. Clean, modern, and full of attitude.
What’s even cooler is that the same design team behind the WN7 also delivered the other winners. The Prelude brings back that pure sports-car thrill with simulated gear shifts and engine sounds through speakers, while the UNI-ONE lets riders steer just by shifting their body weight — hands-free and super intuitive. And the Miimo mowers? They use advanced Real-Time Kinematic navigation so you don’t even need boundary cables anymore.
