If you follow the automotive industry, you know that solid-state batteries have been a holy grail for a decade. Toyota has been promising them "next year" since 2015. Volkswagen has been pouring billions into QuantumScape and showing us beautifully designed PowerPoint presentations. We've all been waiting for a technological messiah to solve the range and fire safety problems. And while the giants were meeting, the guys from cold Finland - Verge Motorcycles - simply did their homework. No fanfare, no empty promises, just pure engineering "sissy" approach. And the result? A motorcycle - the Verge TS Pro, which you can actually buy. Now.

Let's be honest. Electric motorcycles have so far fallen into two categories. The first is those that look like kitchen appliances on steroids and have the charisma of a toaster. The second is those that cost as much as a studio apartment in Ljubljana, but you can't even get to the sea on them without reading War and Peace while waiting at a charging station. But it seems that the Barras brothers from Hong Kong have finally found the holy grail with their new project BBM Hiro Streetfighter. Or at least a very good approximation.
NIU, long synonymous with practical urban e-scooters, presents the Concept 06 – a bold vision that, with 20 kW (27 hp) of power and a top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph), goes where conventional scooters don’t go. In addition to the power, it brings a rich technology package, radars, smart projected warning lights and an AI system that analyzes the ride. But because it’s still a concept, important data such as battery, range and charging time remain hidden behind the curtain.
EICMA 2025 was not just a trade fair, but a vibrant moto festival. From BMW's little F 450 GS to Ducati's revamped DesertX, from the first electric Honda WN7 to the return of Norton - all accompanied by MotoGP stars, the smell of food, beautiful girls and that energy that the automotive world has long lost.
At this year’s Japan Mobility Show 2025, Honda unleashed on the world what could easily be called “a motorcycle from the future that has returned to the present too quickly.” Their Honda EV Outlier Concept is a vision of a motorcycle beyond 2030, and its appearance and philosophy seem alien even today. The long, low, almost floating machine, with darkened translucent panels that reveal its technological soul, looks like something the hero of a cyberpunk movie would ride. But this isn’t science fiction – this is Honda exploring what a motorcycle can become when freed from all the constraints of internal combustion.
Harley-Davidson's electric baby, the LiveWire brand, surprised everyone. Instead of a heavy electric cruiser, it introduced a mini-bike. The LiveWire S4 Honcho, in two flavors - Street and Trail, promises riding pleasure without the noise, smell and drama.
Hello, adventurous urban riders! Introducing the Stark Future Varg SM – an electric supermoto that rides like a hipster on an espresso on the road and like a cat on the couch on the dirt. With 80 horsepower and a battery that lasts about 183 km in the city, it promises a quiet yet playful ride. And yes, you can take the dashboard with you when you park – smart, right?
Imagine a motorcycle that greets you when you walk up to it. That stands up when you want to ride it. That learns your gestures and responds — but still lets you feel the wind in your hair. This isn't something out of science fiction — this is Yamaha MOTOROiD:Λ, a concept that sets a new benchmark between man and machine.
In an age where kids would rather be pressing buttons on their game consoles than trudging through mud, Triumph has done something that could save the future of motorcycling. Imagine a three-year-old on a miniature electric off-road bike that instantly transforms from seated trail adventurer to standing trials master – no tools required, just by removing the seat. Yes, that’s the TXP series, the brainchild of British legend Triumph and their 2022 acquisition of OSET. It’s not just a Sunday afternoon toy; it’s a serious piece of technology that builds balance, coordination and that irresistible love of two wheels. And considering we grew up on bikes without a motor, where the only “safety feature” was a mom yelling “Watch out!” then this is a step up. But hey, if your little one is going to be the next Tony Bou, who am I to complain? It’s an electric evolution that promises fewer tears and more smiles – at least until they fall for the first time.
The Ducati V21L with solid-state battery is not just a motorcycle – it's a revolution on two wheels. With 150 horsepower, a 12-minute charge, and Italian charm, it's a machine that makes electric exciting.
We're used to seeing electric motorcycles on the road, but when it comes to muddy trails and challenging off-road trails, many raise their eyebrows.
