In an exclusive interview with Buck City Biker, Godby pulled back the curtain on how the deal came together and what it could mean for the future of DUST Moto.

Radian might have just solved the biggest weakness in Stark’s dirt bike empire. The Dutch start-up has entered the electric enduro fight with the EXR, built around swappable batteries, aimed squarely at the one issue some brands still haven’t solved: downtime on the trail.

Built around a compact chassis and swappable high-discharge battery platform, the Hightail combines motocross-inspired geometry with a clutchless electric drivetrain. Dust Moto’s focus here is all about low weight, low maintenance, and delivering a mid powered, flickable riding experience.

Lompico isn’t a production bike yet, but it’s a pretty clear statement about where Zero thinks electric motorcycles are heading. On paper, the numbers aren’t locked in either, but the company is targeting an 8.8kWh battery alongside roughly 30 kW (40 hp) power. The Lompico Concept is Zero recognising the game is changing.

LiveWire has acquired DUST Moto, bringing one of the most talked-about lightweight electric dirt bike start-ups under the Harley-backed electric brand’s umbrella.
