French outfit DAB Motors, backed by Peugeot, has quietly shifted from upstart boutique into something you actually see on streets worldwide — and they’ve got a scrambler too.

At the Motor Bike Expo 2026 in Verona, GR1T Motorcycles – the crew behind the G1S and G1X – pulled the covers off their latest play: the Blackout Edition - An evolution of the G1 platform, billed as a dual-use machine for military, security, and civilian roles. It leans hard into the tactical end of the electric spectrum and comes with IR shielding.

Zero has just put the LS1 into full European distribution. If you’ve been watching this bike since we first ran eyes over it, now’s the part where you can actually point, nod and say “that’s the one.” Deliveries began rolling out to every Zero showroom across Europe this month.

Something very cool is happening in East Asia. Compass Rose, a Korean manufacturer, have revealed the Ciulator, and visually, it looks like it escaped from a 1965 Grand Prix paddock. Full fairing, narrow stance, low bars, and a tail that belongs under a race number board. At a glance, it promises clip-on drama and café racer intent.

Earlier this week, Land Moto launched their ADV — and yes, it landed a couple of days before we expected it. First impressions? Good. While it wears a proper ADV stance, LAND’s vision keeps that unmistakable LAND styling that’s helped them stand out from the crowd. Let’s take a look at what’s new, what works, and what we think of this latest e-moto.

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.

During AIMExpo2026, YVOLT quietly—but not that quietly—dropped the Surge V. It’s a 35 kW off-road electric pushing a claimed 948 Nm, packing a 4.3 kWh battery, and already hauling in a fistful of design awards. Visually, it ditches the raw, cluttered look we’ve come to expect from dirt bikes and goes its own way. Before we dig into the nitty-gritty, take a look at YVOLT’s video.

Depending on which decade you were born in, the word moped probably means different things. In its original form, though, a moped was a low-powered motorcycle with pedals — there for that extra shove when you needed it. Or when you ran out of fuel halfway home on a Friday night and the wallet was already empty. Tim Seward, founder and chief design officer at ONYX Motors, is a true believer in the format. And he’s already built the ONYX RCR80v, a machine that sits right on t
