BUCK CITY BIKER

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.

Following our first round of EICMA coverage, we’re back with a second helping of the weird, the wild, and the genuinely interesting. Sure, the big names showed up in Milan — and we’ll get to their headline stuff in time — but this round is all about the fresh faces, the hidden gems, and the under-the-radar machines that might just hit the streets in 2026. PXiD: Broad Line-up With a Familiar Look PXiD P8 PXiD turned up at EICMA with a sizeable spread of EEC-approved motorcycl

We recently reported on Dimentro's new play in the two-wheeled EV game as they introduced the Equator — a high-spec commuter that features their cutting-edge CVT drivetrain. But the story doesn’t stop there. At EICMA 2025, Dimentro pulled the wraps off the latest evolution of its already well-equipped DP platform: the DP Pro.

EICMA 2025 is still buzzing, and Milan once again feels like the centre of the motorcycle universe. The world’s biggest bike show has thrown open its halls to a full spectrum of metal and volts—manufacturers, suppliers, tinkerers, and dreamers all showing off what’s next. Here’s a quick rundown of the most interesting bikes, tech, and ideas we spotted on the floor this year.

Sitting in a Milan hotel, gearing up for EICMA 2025, it’s hard to know where to start. The e-moto scene is flooded with new machines, new brands, and a tidal wave of tech — some of it shiny and overhyped. But one manufacturer keeps my attention: GR1T Motorcycles.

From the compact S4 Honcho to the fast-charging Alpinista Corsa, LiveWire’s latest line-up shows they’re serious about growth and innovation.

BBM Hiro BBM just threw its hat into the rapid-charging e-moto ring with the Hiro. This addition to the global line-up further confirms that Fast charging isn’t just a gimmick anymore — it’s the holy grail every manufacturer is chasing. The Hiro joins bikes like the Yadea Kemper , and the S2 Corsa concept from LiveWire . Proving that in 2025, if your e-moto can’t juice up fast, it’s already behind the curve. What’s the Claim? BBM Hiro BBM says the Hiro can add around 100 km

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.)

When you think of “quirky motorcycles,” the VanVan has always occupied a special corner of the room. Not quite a scrambler. Not quite a minibike. More of a mischievous street-sand hybrid. And soon, it’s coming back—with electricity in its veins.

Maeving RM2 Maeving’s back with the RM2, their latest electric bike built off the same bones as the award-winning—and very popular—RM1S....

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.

When a brand that’s already pushing boundaries in street EVs steps into crossover territory, we all lean in. Ultraviolette’s freshly launched X47 is that move — equal parts urban street machine and light dual-sport. For bikers who already know what to expect from the F77 line, this new machine feels like a natural extension, but with a twist.

After years of watching nimble start-ups and second-tier brands push electric motorcycles forward, Honda has officially thrown its hat into the ring with the WN7, their first full-size electric naked motorcycle. It’s refreshing to see the company finally move beyond concepts and assert itself in the EV moto game. But while the WN7 has some solid strengths, there are also glaring caveats that might make serious riders pause before throwing their gloves off and grabbing for the

In metropolitan hubs teeming with machines, the Streetdog brings a touch of soul to the streets. Not built to scorch highways or traverse mountains, it’s crafted for people who care how they arrive on urban short hauls, where looks, practicality, and design pull more weight than top speed or maximum torque. This is where the team at FTN Motion is staking a claim.

Just when we thought we’d seen it all in e-dirt bikes, Flux Moto is making a game-changing promise. The Primo isn’t just another battery and motor slapped into a dirt chassis — it’s a deliberate exercise in engineering choices most manufacturers avoid.

So, earlier this month, Honda’s latest tease arrived — a fully electric sports motorcycle, wrapped in camouflage vinyl that looks like someone balled up yesterday’s newspaper. Either that, or they've hired Mr. Doodles to do the paint job. The big question: what is this thing, and why is Honda trying so hard to hide it?

Spain-based Stark Future is scaling up. Riding high off the VARG MX and EX, the company has dropped a teaser on two new street-legal models that take the 800cc class head-on, without the weight, noise, or maintenance baggage of petrol engines.
