Trinity Jupiter GT: German Maxi-Scoot Goes Long Haul
The Trinity Jupiter GT has landed with specs that shove it well beyond the usual city-only e-scooter brief. This isn’t a 45-mph urban dart. It’s a full-fat maxi-scooter built to run with real traffic, stretch its legs on faster roads and carry enough battery to kill range anxiety.

FAMEL Returns: Old School Steel, New School Power
After years off the radar, FAMEL is back in the game with a full-electric play. For a lot of riders outside Iberia, the name might not ring bells. In Portugal? Different story.

Talaria Komodo: Step Up, or Clone With Bigger Numbers?
In April, Talaria pulled the covers off the Komodo and pitched it as their most powerful off-road electric bike yet with figures aimed squarely at the mid-weight dirt fight. On paper, it’s a not-so-subtle swing at the Ultra Bee class that currently defines this space. The catch is we’ve heard this pitch before.

Honda’s Cheapest Electric Idea Might Be Its Smartest
Honda has quietly filed a new patent. On the surface, it’s a low-cost electric motorcycle concept, likely built on the Shine 100 platform. Simple frame. Compact motor. Modular battery layout. No spec-sheet flexing. No halo-bike nonsense. Just an e-moto designed to do a job—and do it cheaply.

Compass Rose Ciulator - Commute on a '50s Racer
Something very cool is happening in East Asia. Compass Rose, a Korean manufacturer, have revealed the Ciulator, and visually, it looks like it escaped from a 1965 Grand Prix paddock. Full fairing, narrow stance, low bars, and a tail that belongs under a race number board. At a glance, it promises clip-on drama and café racer intent.

Watch: YVOLT Surge V Breaks Cover
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.

Donut Battery: Did The e-Moto Game Just Get a Serious Upgrade?
We live in a world where new battery tech gets announced almost weekly. Big OEMs promise solid-state by 2030, while everyone else throws around terms that all sound suspiciously similar — semi-solid, quasi-solid, LiFePO₄. Well, today Donut Lab dropped something that isn’t “coming soon.” It’s here, it’s real, and already powering production vehicles.
