BUCK CITY BIKER

When it comes to electric motorcycles, a lot of big brands chase futuristic styling and pack in enough tech to make your brain hurt. Black Tea Motorcycles, a small Munich-born outfit founded in 2020, is playing a different game: smart, user-friendly machines designed for real riders. Their line-up focuses on bikes that are easy to live with, easy to repair or modify, and fundamentally practical for everyday use.

If you like your e-motos hand-built, dripping with vintage charm, and unapologetically boutique, Swedish manufacturer RGNT has been flying that flag since the first batch of No.1 bikes rolled out in 2020. Now they’re levelling up with their latest model — the Street Classic.

The real question is whether the LS1 brings anything new to a crowded starting block. On paper, it sits among a sea of practical, city-ready electrics. But once you dig under the surface, it turns out the LS1 has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that make it more than just another plug-in grocery-getter.

The 2026 Peugeot 103 Electric keeps the spirit of the original — lightweight, simple, affordable, and unmistakably practical — but rebuilds it around modern expectations of daily riding.

Fast charging is the question that pops up in every e-moto conversation — right after “what’s the range?” and “how fast can it go?” Riders see EV cars slurping electrons at 150 kW, then glance back at their bike politely sipping 3–6 kW and wonder: what gives?   Yadea Kemper Fast Charging We’ve got some good options already — the Yadea Kemper offering eyebrow-raising times with 0–80% in ten minutes, the elusive Lightning Motorcycles insisting they’ve cracked the code, LiveWi

Recently, we've seen a surge in questions about “solar-powered motorcycles,” thanks in part to the debut of MASK Architects’ SOLARIS concept — an e-moto with expanding solar arrays designed to charge itself while parked. So we figured it’s time to dig in.

If you’ve seen a square-jawed, “what on earth is that?” electric motorcycle popping up on your \ feed lately, chances are it was The Blacksheep One. And honestly, the reaction checks out — it’s weird, it’s bold, and it refuses to blend in. Even better, it’s real, it’s genuinely innovative, and it’s being built in very limited numbers.

Damon Motorcycles has been the subject of plenty of talk — excitement, controversy, and a long list of questions that once felt too big to answer. The company burst onto the scene in 2018 with the HyperSport, a halo product that drew serious investment and thousands of depositors eager to see Damon’s vision roll into their garages. We sat down with Dom Kwong to get straight answers to the questions everyone’s been asking. But first, a little background on Damon’s new leader.

Lambretta. Just saying the name brings to mind winding Italian streets, vintage chrome, and the sound of scooters buzzing through piazzas. It’s a brand with real pedigree — and now, it’s making its mark in the electric era. The Elettra S represents Lambretta’s bold step into modern urban mobility while keeping that timeless Italian soul.

This year’s Motorcycle Live at the Birmingham NEC felt bigger, louder, and far more dialled-in than previous rounds. As usual, the halls were packed with full line-ups, prototype teasers, and “coming soon” promises from the big-name manufacturers — but 2025’s show had a sharper edge.

For a while, the “Flying Flea” name has floated around as a single upcoming electric motorcycle, a modern nod to the tiny WWII-era classic. But that’s not the play anymore. Royal Enfield has quietly turned Flying Flea into its own EV platform — the foundation for a family of electric machines. And now we know what’s coming first.

NIU isn’t just playing in the city-scooter sandbox anymore. At EICMA 2025, they rolled out the Concept 06 — not just another commuter, but a forward-looking concept that shows exactly where they think urban mobility is headed.
