Honda WN7 Electric Motorcycle and UNI-ONE Mobility Robot Win “Red Dot: Best of the Best” Awards in Red Dot Award 2026: Product Design

Honda today announced that the Honda WN7 electric motorcycle and UNI-ONE mobility robot have been awarded the “Red Dot: Best of the Best” award, the highest distinction in the Red Dot Award*1 2026: Product Design. Moreover, the all-new Prelude specialty hybrid sports model and Miimo 150i/2200i robotic lawnmower models were each named a Red Dot winner in the same competition.

Honda WN7

The Honda WN7 is the first Honda full-size electric naked model developed with the concept of “Be the Wind.” This model adopts a structure in which the battery case, positioned at the center of the body, forms part of the frame. Adoption of this frameless structure resulted in a lightweight body with great layout flexibility, which significantly contributed to the realization of a slim and compact body.

UNI-ONE

By leveraging technologies amassed through its research on robotics, including ASIMO, the humanoid robot, Honda created the UNI-ONE as a seated mobility robot that the user can steer simply by shifting body weight while seated and keeping both hands free to move naturally in all directions as if they were walking. The UNI-ONE was designed for ease of use for people of all ages, from young children to the elderly, without requiring complex operation.

Prelude

The all-new Prelude is a specialty hybrid sports model that embodies the “joy of driving” in the electrified era. Based on the original Honda two-motor hybrid system, the Honda S+ Shift control technology is adopted to realize direct drive response and sharp gear shifting feel as if the vehicle features a stepped transmission system. Moreover, with unique technologies to reproduce a powerful engine sound in sync with the engine RPM through the speaker system and a highly responsive meter display system that operates in coordination with engine sound, the Honda S+ Shift technology stimulates all of the driver’s senses and provides an exhilarating driving experience at the will of the driver, further “synchronizing” the driver and the vehicle.

Miimo 1500i/2200i

The Miimo 1500i/2200i are Honda robotic lawnmower models developed with the concept of the “Smart Lawn Meister.” These models became the first among all Honda robotic lawnmowers to be equipped with a wireless navigation function that utilizes the RTK (Real-Time Kinematic)*2 system and enables automated mowing, eliminating the need to install physical perimeter cables. The Miimo 2200i is the first model equipped with ultrasonic sensors, offering two selectable obstacle-avoidance patterns for enhanced safety and operational efficiency.
