Honda's electric two-wheeler EV Outlier Concept has won a Red Dot Award in the design concept category. It uses in-wheel motors front and rear for an extremely low riding position and wears a smoke-clear body. Honda's brand movie 'What Is a Motorcycle?' also took an award in a separate category. The concept first appeared at the Japan Mobility Show 2025.

Technically, in-wheel motors front and rear tuck drive into the hubs and free up the frame. Look at the data and that's exactly what makes the extreme low seating position work. In structural, not emotional, terms this reopens the question of what a motorcycle is. Production limits remain, but as a direction I rate this concept.

That super-low seat looks a pain to get on and off, but the picture is stunning.

The smoke-clear body is way too cool. I want to see the real thing.

'What Is a Motorcycle?' as a title really hits.

Winning an award for a concept means nothing unless it reaches production, no?

Honestly, even if something like this hit the market it'd be pricey.

In-wheel motors front and rear — that idea is straight-up future stuff.

Tucking drive into the hubs makes sense on efficiency grounds too.
