BUCK CITY BIKER

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.

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’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.

Another twist in the long-running Damon Motorcycles saga. This one leaves even more questions than answers. Damon Motorcycles confirmed in a recent press release that CEO Dominique Kwong, CFO Bal Bhullar, and board member Karan Sodhi have all exited the company.

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.

Zero Motorcycles is rolling out a direct-to-home delivery option for its lightweight X Line electric dirt bikes, allowing riders to have their machines shipped straight to their door while still purchasing through a dealer.

Electric just took a major win in the off-road world. Stark Future has secured the 2026 FIM SuperEnduro Manufacturers World Championship, marking the first time an electric motorcycle brand has claimed the title in the indoor enduro series.

Donut has dropped the third video in its “I Donut Believe” validation series, and this time we've moved on from charging speed or temperature tolerance. It’s now self-discharge under the microscope.

Lightning Motorcycles has been an enigmatic presence in the electric motorcycle world for years. Everyone knows the name. The Lightning LS-218 claims, the Bonneville backstory, and the Pikes Peak win. But riders keep asking the same question: where are the bikes?
