TREE NEWS update: Sundiro Honda unveiled LINKA MOTOR, its new electric two-wheeler subsidiary, at the company’s 25th-anniversary brand launch event on October 23, 2026. The new brand, which debuted alongside its first model, the CE6, draws on the parent company’s two-wheeler engineering experience and targets the upgrade market for riders seeking better ride quality and daily efficiency.
Honda’s Sundiro JV unveils new electric two-wheeler unit LINKA MOTOR
The launch signals that Honda's Chinese joint-venture structure is being used to spin up a dedicated EV two-wheeler brand rather than extending the existing Sundiro Honda line, a notable organisational choice for a legacy manufacturer entering a segment crowded with domestic startups. Positioning around ride quality and daily efficiency, rather than headline specs, suggests a premium-upgrade pitch aimed at existing riders rather than first-time buyers. Whether LINKA can leverage Honda's engineering reputation into pricing power against local incumbents, and how the CE6 is received, are the open questions worth tracking.
