Following our first round of EICMA coverage, we’re back with a second helping of the weird, the wild, and the genuinely interesting. Sure, the big names showed up in Milan — and we’ll get to their headline stuff in time — but this round is all about the fresh faces, the hidden gems, and the under-the-radar machines that might just hit the streets in 2026.
PXiD: Broad Line-up With a Familiar Look
PXiD turned up at EICMA with a sizeable spread of EEC-approved motorcycles and e-bikes — aggressive in style and certainly worth a walk-by. What stands out most is just how consistent their design language is. Every motorcycle carries the same sharp, muscular silhouette with near-identical frame geometry. It makes for a strong, deliberate brand identity — and they’re clearly committed to that look. Of course, tight styling cues mean a narrower niche of buyers, but if this aesthetic hits your sweet spot, PXiD’s range could tick a lot of boxes.
Their line-up spans multiple speed categories, essentially scaling one core design up or down depending on whether you want an inner-city dart or something with a bit more road presence. The e-bikes follow the same formula: clean, modern, and unmistakably part of the same family.
PXiD’s big talking point is their fully integrated supply chain — design through to manufacturing — which they frame as a competitive edge. It certainly lets them produce variants quickly and tailor runs for OEM/ODM partners. The setup does feel more like a highly flexible production house than a brand chasing groundbreaking engineering, but maybe that’s exactly what the market needs: adaptability and a willingness to build what distributors actually ask for.
The line-up tops out with the P8 — a 10 kW mid-drive claiming 86 mph (140 km/h) and running dual 72V 40Ah lithium batteries for a quoted 149 miles (240 km). At the opposite end sits the P7, essentially the same package scaled down: 5 kW, 62 mph (100 km/h), and roughly 74 miles (120 km) of range. Curiously, the P9 slots between the two — feeling more like a numbers tweak than a deliberate step in the series. Go smaller again and the e-bikes follow the same ethos.
In short: a confident, consistent line-up — and one I’d happily throw a leg over for a proper road test.
Ultraviolette's Naked Display
Okay, it’s not a true naked bike — more a peek behind the curtain. Ultraviolette had an F77 on display with all the fairings and peripherals stripped away, and we snapped a photo because it really highlights just how much tech they cram into these machines. Not a new model, not a teaser — just a cool bit of mechanical honesty we figured you’d appreciate having a gander at.
Ultraviolette also had the new X47 on display — their crossover entry loaded with the full radar and safety suite. It’s a clear sign of where the e-moto sector is heading: deeper connectivity, smarter assists, and a healthy splash of tech baked into the ride. We’re betting 2026 will bring a lot more of this, following the same trajectory the EV car world took.
But here’s the question: do you dig it? Extra safety on a motorcycle makes more sense than anywhere else — yet at what point does all this digital hand-holding chip away at that disconnect, which for many is the reason we got into riding?
Verge Next Scooter Platform
The Finnish-Estonian outfit behind this one has taken their tech game from big bikes to small wheels. Verge’s new B2B platform — branded as Verge Next — puts a hefty chunk of their “donut” hub-motor, modular battery, and software toolkit into the scooter and moped world.
At this year’s EICMA 2025, they showed the first scooter built on that platform, signalling that small-wheel EVs are no longer the cheap afterthought. With motor ratings from 2 kW up to 15 kW, torque up to 350 Nm, and a modular battery/drive package. Verge Next is launched by Verge Motorcycles to license its electric vehicle technology to other manufacturers who want to roll fast, not reinvent the wheel, which Verge has already done.
