At the Motor Bike Expo 2026 in Verona, GR1T Motorcycles – the crew behind the G1S and G1X – pulled the covers off their latest play: the Blackout Edition - An evolution of the G1 platform, billed as a dual-use machine for military, security, and civilian roles. It leans hard into the tactical end of the electric spectrum and comes with IR shielding.

During AIMExpo2026, YVOLT quietly—but not that quietly—dropped the Surge V. It’s a 35 kW off-road electric pushing a claimed 948 Nm, packing a 4.3 kWh battery, and already hauling in a fistful of design awards. Visually, it ditches the raw, cluttered look we’ve come to expect from dirt bikes and goes its own way. Before we dig into the nitty-gritty, take a look at YVOLT’s video.

Eyes up, Cali. If you haven’t caught wind yet, regulations have quietly changed state-wide around e-moto bikes — specifically off-road electric dirt bikes. This signals that California is finally admitting that electric dirt bikes without pedals don’t fit neatly into existing boxes.

Electric hard enduro has promised a lot over the last few years, but most efforts have either felt experimental or aimed at entry-level riding. The JARV-E project stands apart because it wasn’t born in a design studio or a marketing meeting — it came from the terrain.

If you thought electric off-road bikes were still on the outside looking in, Stark Future just gave you two hard reasons to rethink that. In the past 2 1/2 weeks, the Barcelona-based outfit pushed its VARG platform into territory most internal-combustion bikes would choke on — literally — and opened a new chapter in hard enduro competition by earning entry into the legendary Red Bull Erzbergrodeo for 2026.

It finally happened. Can-Am—the Canadian powerhouse behind some of the most respected off-road machines in the business—has gone electric where it counts: the craig, the field, and the back forty.

Just as we were about to hit “send” on our teaser about the Starks' adventure bike and ATV, they dropped a curveball — the VARG SM is now official. (Yes, that’s SM as in Supermoto.)

Triumph has officially unveiled its first-ever electric off-road motorcycles — the TXP range, built in collaboration with OSET Electric Bikes. This new line-up targets kids and young riders, marking Triumph’s first real play in the youth e-moto space and a bold statement about the future of off-road riding.

The e-dirt scene is having a busy summer, with two big names in the off-road sector dropping significant updates. From France to Spain, the latest releases show just how far e-motos have come in capability, design, and outright ambition.
