WN7 Wins iF Gold Award as Honda’s Approach Starts to Land
Honda’s WN7 has picked up a Gold at the iF Design Award 2026, and whether you care about trophies or not, it says something about how this bike’s landing. Let’s be honest, most design awards don’t move the needle for riders. But this one’s worth a second look, mainly because Honda didn’t win by going weird.

Positive Wants to Bring EGERA to Market
Positive Motorcycles is back on the radar, and this time the story is less about the EGERA itself and more about whether the Italian outfit can get riders on the road. The Lake Como startup says it is entering a pre-seed round after five years of self-funded R&D, with a validated prototype, identified distributors, secured suppliers and road testing up to 175 km/h (108 mph) already under its belt.

I Donut Believe, Episode 6: Failure Mode
The latest instalment in the Donut saga is here, and this one builds on the VTT programme we’ve been tracking from the start.
Up to now, the focus has been on charging speed, thermal behaviour and real-world pack performance. This latest test shifts the spotlight onto safety, specifically, how the cell behaves after it’s already been damaged.

FTN Motion Streetdog XR: More Stance, More Speed
FTN Motion is back with a new e-moto, and the Streetdog XR sticks closely to the formula that’s already winning the Kiwi brand a loyal following. It's still a lightweight, urban-first e-moto with clean lines and modest power, but the new XR now adds a bit more speed and a bit more edge over the older models.

LiveWire Reprices the ONE Across Europe
LiveWire has cut the price of the ONE across Europe, with fresh pricing now appearing in the UK, Germany and Switzerland. The bike now starts at £12,990 in the UK, down from £18,290, the kind of move that shifts it out of halo-bike money and into a much more realistic conversation.

Energica is Back… Again
The much-loved Italian outfit, and builders of some of the sharpest, track-capable electric machines to ever hit public roads, reckon they’re back on form after yet another wobble behind the scenes. And they’re not being subtle about it.

Donut Goes Pack-Level with Verge TS Pro Charging Test
Donut’s stepped out of the lab. After a run of cell-level tests with VTT, the latest video finally shows what everyone’s been waiting for, the battery in an actual bike. A Verge TS Pro test mule, plugged into a public fast charger, running Donut’s solid-state pack in the real world. No lab coats this time. Just a bike, a cable, and a stopwatch.

LiveWire Sales Tick Up… But the Numbers Still Look Tiny
Harley-Davidson’s electric spin-off, LiveWire, has released its 2025 numbers. And depending how you look at it, the story is either steady progress… or proof that the premium electric road bike market is still a tough gig.

The Great Electric Motorcycle Range Con
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
