The latest Donut Lab episode might contain its biggest claim yet. Not because of what the battery can do, but because of how many they think they can build.
In its latest video drop, Bengaluru firm Ultraviolette Automotive is lifting the lid on what sits beneath the bodywork of its halo scooter, the Tesseract.
Kiwi manufacturer FTN Motion is heading out on a test ride tour for its Streetdog XR, putting riders in the saddle across multiple cities. Because at some point, you've got to stop reading about a bike and go ride the thing.
Built to order in New Zealand, the Streetdog XR combines an 88 kg kerb weight with a removable 2.9 kWh battery, 30 litres of integrated storage and a claimed real-world range of 60–80 km. It's still a simple twist-and-go machine, but with an 85 km/h top speed and motorcycle licensing required, the XR sits firmly in motorcycle territory.
The LiveWire S2 Del Mar is an American-built electric street motorcycle developed around LiveWire's Arrow architecture.

LiveWire has acquired DUST Moto, bringing one of the most talked-about lightweight electric dirt bike start-ups under the Harley-backed electric brand’s umbrella.
Lightning is heading back to the Bonneville Salt Flats with unfinished business and a sharper brief than last time: build a next-generation EV platform capable of more than 600 hp and keep it stable when everything is trying to tear it apart.
Avenrà CEO Paul Cummins has told BCB he lost control of his EVO this weekend during a UK rideout that didn’t go to plan. Not a speed test or stunt attempt, just a roundabout, a diesel spill, and the kind of surface that turns grip into guesswork.
How how far can an electric motorcycle actually go? That depends on how the bike is tested, how fast you're riding and how much work you're asking the battery to do. We all know the game by now: big range number on the brochure, smaller number once you hand over your hard-earned cash and start riding the thing. The reason it keeps happening comes down to how electric two-wheelers are tested, and the maths gets pretty ugly once you leave the gentle, controlled world of the tes
