At CES 2026, Ultraviolette — the Indian outfit behind the F77 and X47 — rolled out “Violette”, an onboard AI voice assistant designed to make riding safer, simpler, and a whole lot more integrated. Anyone who’s ridden with a Bluetooth lid knows the upside: no phone bolted to the bars, no eyes dropping to a screen, no fumbling at lights. Ultraviolette’s new Violette system aims to push that idea further by baking voice control directly into the bike itself.

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.

Fast charging is the question that pops up in every e-moto conversation — right after “what’s the range?” and “how fast can it go?” Riders see EV cars slurping electrons at 150 kW, then glance back at their bike politely sipping 3–6 kW and wonder: what gives?   Yadea Kemper Fast Charging We’ve got some good options already — the Yadea Kemper offering eyebrow-raising times with 0–80% in ten minutes, the elusive Lightning Motorcycles insisting they’ve cracked the code, LiveWi

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.

Are connected motorcycles enhancing the ride—or killing the freedom that made biking what it is? A look at tech’s impact on the rider’s experience.

At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking Yamaha accidentally built a Transformer halfway through a mental breakdown. The MOTOROiD looks less like a motorcycle and more like an AI experiment that escaped the lab and decided to cosplay as one. It doesn’t even have handlebars.

Ducati V21L with Solid-State Battery Back in March we covered Ducati’s reluctance to dive head-first into consumer electric motorcycles. Claudio Domenicali, the company’s CEO, was blunt: “With the current technology, it’s a bit of a niche because you need to compromise on range, if you want to have a light motorcycle.” In other words: no road-ready e-superbike rolling out of Bologna anytime soon. Fast-forward to IAA Mobility in Munich, and Ducati has wheeled out the V21L ag

If you already own an Ultraviolette F77, or are looking to acquire one, your bike just got a little meaner—without spending a penny or touching a bolt. The Bengaluru-based manufacturer has started rolling out its Gen3 Powertrain Firmware, a free software update that unlocks a sharper, more aggressive riding experience.

You may have seen the clips doing the rounds on socials: a Honda motorcycle quietly balancing itself at a standstill, even trailing behind a walking person like some obedient robot companion. The rumour mill has been churning, so let’s clear the fog. Here’s what we actually know—and what we don’t—about Honda’s so-called Riding Assist technology.
