Davinci Motor isn’t a household name yet, but the DC100 is clearly built for a much larger lane than niche city commuters. It’s a high-performance electric motorcycle that leans heavily on software, connectivity, and automated rider aids rather than traditional mechanical feel.
This isn’t a stripped-back commuter EV punching above its weight with spec-sheet add-ons. It’s a 100 kW future bike aimed at ICE riders who want performance without the noise or conventional drivetrain baggage. Davinci's calling it a “robot on two wheels”.
Inside the DC100’s Control System
The DC100 is built around a software-driven control system that constantly monitors traction, lean angle, terrain, braking, and rider inputs in real time.
This feeds into a broader suite of automated rider aids, some active, some still clearly part of the roadmap. On the road today you’ve got creep-style movement, hill start, descent control, reverse assist, and tightly managed traction and braking coordination. It’s this layer of automation that starts to explain Davinci’s “robot on two wheels” positioning. More ambitious concepts still in development include low-speed self-balancing, remote control and summoning, and early-stage autonomous follow behaviour.
That links into app integration, GPS tracking, and over-the-air updates.
The self-balancing claim is the obvious talking point. Whether it becomes genuinely useful or just remains a technical flex will come down to real-world use, and whether riders actually need it.
Visually, the DC100 looks like a concept bike. The race stance, bodywork and single-sided swingarm give it presence without falling into the usual copy-paste EV trap. It looks premium, futuristic, and just strange enough to stand out. But the real eye-opener is the performance figure. Davinci claims a peak output of 95 kW (127 hp), putting the DC100 firmly in serious superbike territory.

Where Can I Buy One?
Availability is still patchy. The DC100 launched in China first, with limited rollout into Europe and the US through importers, online orders, and showcase launches rather than a full dealer network. In other words, you don’t just stroll into a showroom and ride one out yet. But you can check out their website and they've told us orders are welcome.
The BCB take
The DC100 feels like one of the few electric motorcycles genuinely trying to rethink what a bike is rather than just swapping an engine for a battery pack. The more interesting question isn’t whether the hardware works, it’s whether riders want motorcycle behaviour dictated by software.
For us at BCB, some of the tech still feels like overreach, but that will depend how 'involved' it is when you're out on a run.
The DC100 isn’t trying to fit into the traditional motorcycle world. It's for EV purists. It’s testing what happens when you stop treating a bike as purely mechanical, and start treating it as a rolling, connected system.
Ride safe, folks.
