Recently, we've seen a surge in questions about “solar-powered motorcycles,” thanks in part to the debut of MASK Architects’ SOLARIS concept — an e-moto with expanding solar arrays designed to charge itself while parked. So we figured it’s time to dig in.

If you’ve seen a square-jawed, “what on earth is that?” electric motorcycle popping up on your \ feed lately, chances are it was The Blacksheep One. And honestly, the reaction checks out — it’s weird, it’s bold, and it refuses to blend in. Even better, it’s real, it’s genuinely innovative, and it’s being built in very limited numbers.

Lambretta. Just saying the name brings to mind winding Italian streets, vintage chrome, and the sound of scooters buzzing through piazzas. It’s a brand with real pedigree — and now, it’s making its mark in the electric era. The Elettra S represents Lambretta’s bold step into modern urban mobility while keeping that timeless Italian soul.

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.
