Trinity Jupiter GT: German Maxi-Scoot Goes Long Haul
The Trinity Jupiter GT has landed with specs that shove it well beyond the usual city-only e-scooter brief. This isn’t a 45-mph urban dart. It’s a full-fat maxi-scooter built to run with real traffic, stretch its legs on faster roads and carry enough battery to kill range anxiety.

FAMEL Returns: Old School Steel, New School Power
After years off the radar, FAMEL is back in the game with a full-electric play. For a lot of riders outside Iberia, the name might not ring bells. In Portugal? Different story. FAMEL is baked into the country’s two-wheel DNA. Now they’re betting that heritage still counts — even when the engine noise doesn’t.

Lightning’s EDGE: Race Hardware Goes Industry-Wide
Lightning just dropped something big — and it’s not a new bike. The California outfit has launched EDGE, a modular 800V electric architecture spun out of its race program, and it’s offering the platform to manufacturers across multiple sectors.

Talaria Komodo: Step Up, or Clone With Bigger Numbers?
In April, Talaria pulled the covers off the Komodo and pitched it as their most powerful off-road electric bike yet with figures aimed squarely at the mid-weight dirt fight. On paper, it’s a not-so-subtle swing at the Ultra Bee class that currently defines this space. The catch is we’ve heard this pitch before.

Lightning Hands Riders the Keys to Throttle Control
