There’s a growing consensus in the electric motorcycle world that the key to success when considering the constraints of today’s technology is to target smaller, simpler, more urban electric motorcycles. While much of today’s attention goes to high-tech, high-price electric motorcycles and e-bikes, the real opportunity for electrification may lie at the opposite end of the spectrum: ultra-simple, ultra-affordable machines designed for the masses. more…

Lectric doesn’t really do old-school sales. At least not the kind most of us think of when we hear the word. Sure, North America’s largest electric bike retailer, Lectric eBikes, has tons of great deals all year round. But the seasonal sales are often value bundles where the prices remain the same, but you get a ton of great accessories thrown in. Now for a limited time though, Lectric has launched an honest-to-goodness, save-you-some-real-money sale on America’s most popular electric bikes. more…
Heybike is best known for affordable commuter e-bikes, fat-tire cruisers, and city-friendly rides. But the company is now stepping well outside the bike lane with something very different. Meet the Villain – a compact electric e-moto that looks and rides far more like a Sur-Ron–style light electric dirt bike than anything you’d legally call an electric bicycle. And crucially, it does so at a price point aimed at riders who want electric dirt-bike fun without dropping full-on motorcycle money. more…
Honda has been releasing new electric two-wheelers at an impressive clip over the last few years, making up for lost time. The company’s latest model, known as the Honda UC3, is soon headed for the Vietnam and Thailand markets. But perhaps more interesting than the bike itself is Honda’s decision to use integrated batteries rather than its own in-house removable-battery standard. more…

President Lee Jae Myung received an electric bicycle from Chinese President Xi Jinping as a gift during his state visit to China, sources said Thursday. Following their summit talks in Beijing on Monday, Xi presented Lee with an electric bicycle, Chinese ceramics, a coffee cup set and a painting, according to sources familiar with the matter. The brand of the bicycle was not immediately known, as China did not disclose a detailed list of the gifts. Cheong Wa Dae also declined to reveal the full list, citing China's diplomatic protocol of not publicizing gift details. Xi also gifted apples and dried persimmons to Lee, the sources said. They were widely seen as a response to Hwangnam-ppang, a popular pastry from the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) host city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, which Lee had given Xi during his previous visit there last November. In return, Lee presented Xi with a traditional Korean painting symbolizing peace and prosperity, as well as a

If you’ve spent enough time riding electric bikes, you quickly realize that power is only part of the draw. Another big part is sound – or more accurately, the lack of it. A smooth, quiet motor can make an e-bike feel refined and premium, while a buzzy, rattly drivetrain can cheapen the experience no matter how strong the specs look on paper. That’s something Bafang, one of the world’s largest e-bike motor manufacturers, says it has been focusing on for years. And after I took a trip inside their motor testing grounds, I got to see how they do it. more…
One of the biggest unanswered questions for many folks considering an e-bike isn’t how a bike rides on day one, but rather how it holds up after years of daily use. Reviews and first impressions are everywhere, but genuine long-term ownership stories are surprisingly rare. That’s why a recent shared case from a rider who just crossed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) on their e-bike caught my attention. more…

If you’ve covered e-bikes as long as I have, you’ll know two things about them: they’re an awesome way to get around, and the basic technology behind an e-bike motor hasn’t radically changed in a long, long time. However, based on the new e-bike motor design I just tested from a powertrain technology company called CHARGE, the e-bike world may be about to get turned on its head. These guys discovered that nearly any e-bike hub motor can perform regenerative braking, but everyone has just been building them wrong this whole time. more…
An e-bike can be a great way for your kid to get some extra exercise. However, there are some things you should know before buying one.
I’ve ridden a lot of electric scooters over the years, and many of them blur together. Plenty are fast. Many are powerful. Some look aggressive. But only a handful manage to combine all of that with a ride that actually feels polished and confidence-inspiring. After spending real time riding the Apollo Phantom 2.0 (52V version), it’s clear this scooter sits firmly in that top tier. more…

It’s fair to say that 2025 was a strange, fascinating, and sometimes downright chaotic year for electric bikes. The technology continued to mature, prices kept shifting in occasionally unexpected ways, and e-bikes found themselves squarely in the middle of broader conversations about transportation, safety, regulation, and urban life. What several years ago felt like a niche corner of the EV world is now impossible to ignore, with electric bikes influencing how cities plan streets, how families get around, and how regulators try (and sometimes struggle) to keep up. more…

Electric motorcycles are already known for their instant torque and quiet performance, but now one electric dirt bike has proven it can do something gas bikes can’t: breathe where combustion engines can’t. Stark Future and Swiss mountaineer-rider Jiri Zak just made history by setting a new high-altitude world record on the world’s highest active volcano, riding a fully electric Stark VARG EX up to an astonishing 6,721 meters (22,051 feet) above sea level. more…

Scooters have never really had their moment in the US the way they have in Europe or much of Asia (despite the few fun-loving Vespas clubs here and there). A mere ocean away in Europe, a scooter is just basic transportation – a smart, efficient, dead-simple way to navigate a city. But in the US, scooters tend to get ignored by car folks and lumped into the “not really a motorcycle” category by bike folks. But LiveWire’s upcoming new electric maxi-scooter concept might actually have a shot at shifting that narrative. more…
City life is changing fast. Traffic, gas prices, and environmental concerns are motivating people to seek better ways to get around. One answer gaining popularity is the electric bike.

Electric motorcycles come in all shapes and sizes these days, but few take the idea of “small format” as literally as the new Icoma Tatamel Bike. Designed by Takamitsu Ikoma – a former toy designer who clearly never lost his taste for Transformers – this little EV doesn’t just shrink. It folds itself into a tidy rolling suitcase shape that can follow you into elevators, offices, and apartments, where full-sized bikes are a non-starter. more…

Zero Motorcycles turned heads in Milan at EICMA 2025 with the unveiling of its new LS1 electric scooter, a sleek and practical 60 mph (100 km/h) commuter built for European city streets. With its swappable batteries, off-board charging, and smart safety tech like ABS and traction control, the LS1 is clearly a strong contender in the urban EV space. It also marks a major shift for Zero, expanding beyond full-size electric motorcycles into a more accessible, everyday format. But will it come to the US market? more…

Before RJ Scaringe founded the adventure-themed EV company Rivian, he was thinking about bikes. Well, not bikes exactly. More like pedal-powered hybrid microcars and other forms of alternative transportation. This was three years before Scaringe launched Rivian, and nearly 13 years before the company eventually came out of stealth. By then, Scaringe had decided against building such a vehicle, concluding that the market would be too small, limited to a niche group of enthusiasts like himself. Still, it would have been cool, right? A Rivian-designed minicar? "It would have been so cool," Scaringe recalls in an interview with The Verge. … Read the full story at The Verge.
There’s been a lot of hand-wringing lately about electric bikes. You’ve probably seen the headlines – the ones about sidewalk conflicts, teenagers riding too fast, or policymakers scrambling to define what qualifies as an e-bike in the first place. And sure, it’s healthy for cities to ask questions about how new forms of mobility fit into the urban fabric. But let’s not lose sight of something much more important: e-bikes are still one of the best things to happen to cities in decades. I’d argue they’re the best thing for urban life since flush toilets. more…
