+== Honda teases its first full-size e-motorcycle with fast charging ==
+The new bike appears to be based on the company's EV Fun Concept and likely won't be available outside of Europe.
+Ian Carlos Campbell - Updated Thu, September 4, 2025 at 11:51 AM PDT
+Honda is preparing to announce its first electric motorcycle with fast charging, based on a new teaser video the company shared on Instagram. The video shows off the new e-motorcycle on test rides in Europe and teases the date, September 16, when Honda will presumably introduce it. Plans to expand Honda's lineup of electric motorcycles have been in the works since at least 2022, when the company announced it would release "10 or more" e-motorcycles by 2025.
+The new motorcycle is under a wrap of black and white camouflage in the video, but Electrek writes that it shares a striking resemblance to the "EV Fun Concept" motorcycle Honda introduced at EICMA 2024, a motorcycle trade show in Milan. At the time, Honda said the boxy concept was designed to offer "performance equivalent to a mid-sized internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycle" and be compatible with CCS2 quick chargers, an EV fast charging standard in Europe. It also has "a cruising range of over 100km," according to Honda.

This electric bike, recently showcased on the global stage, comes just days after Honda released its initial visuals. While its name is up for debate, the WN7 represents Honda’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. As the world grapples with environmental challenges, the introduction of electric vehicles by leading manufacturers like Honda is a promising step towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting cleaner transportation solutions.

+==  World’s largest EV manufacturer is coming to the Western market ==
+Utkarsh Sood - December 05, 2025
+The motorcycle market is packed with global players. Some come with an expertise in engineering, some in design, others in historical roots, and with the onset of electric motos, brands of late also seem to come with the extra edge of modern-day innovation. But only one two-wheeler company can boast of being the world’s largest EV manufacturer (by volume): Yadea.
+The Chinese company sells more than 6 million electric two-wheelers in more than 80 countries every year. In comparison, America’s biggest electric vehicle (EV) company, Tesla, sold under 2 million units globally last year: 1,789,226 to be precise.
+Wuxi-based Yadea recently unveiled four motorcycles at the freshly concluded Motorcycle Live show, with the intention of bringing them all to Europe. The roll-out starts with the UK, thanks to a distribution deal with British tech mobility startup True Enterprises, which will take responsibility for sales and support.
+The four Yadea models on display at the expo were the GFX – an entry-level moped, Owin – a no-frills commuter scooter, Velax – a modern-styled urban scooter, and Keeness – a proper electric motorcycle.

+== Zero reveals prices for the new XE and XB electric dirtbikes ==
+Zero has begun its global delivery of the new XE and XB electric dirtbikes, after revealing prices for the two models.
-==== Neutrino ====
+Robert Jones - 01 Aug 2025
-== Is This Affordable, Adorable New Electric Motorcycle the Urban Bike of the Future? ==
+Zero Motorcycles has officially confirmed prices for its all-new XE and XB electric dirtbikes, which were first revealed as part of the brand’s “All Access Initiative”. More new models will be introduced in the future as part of the initiative.
-Meet Zero’s potentially game-changing Neutrino concept — and pray the brand rolls it out as the third All Access bike next summer.
+The California-based electric bike maker revealed the two new models towards the end of 2024, and at the time we expected the bikes to arrive with a competitive price tag. That’s exactly what has happened, with the XB model featuring an MSRP of £3,890.
-Steve Mazzucchi - November 5, 2024 / Updated November 6, 2024
+The XE will cost you £5,590, with much of the price bump coming thanks to the increased power, range, and top speed.
+The XB uses a 2.4kWh battery to produce 9.8bhp and a massive 275 Ib-ft of torque. The bike’s range lasts 47 miles at continuous rolling speeds of 31mph, while the XE has a range of 65 miles, again at 31mph. The more expensive XE model also produces 21bhp and 468 Ib-ft of torque.

-A longtime leader in the electric moto space, Zero Motorcycles has announced some pretty monumental plans for the future, revealing a new All Access strategy to reach more riders. At its core are six brand-new motorcycles covering multiple segments, all priced (wait for it) below $10,000.
-Impressive talk for a brand known for premium electric bikes priced well above that figure. But Zero is already putting its proverbial money where its mouth is. With research indicating a significant uptick in off-road interest, the brand just lifted the curtain on the first two motos, light and nimble trail bikes, the XE ($6,495) and XB ($4,195).
-Arriving next summer, these affordable offerings represent a significant shift for the brand (see more details below). However, they won’t be street-legal in the US — and the bike we are most excited about is the potential third of the six. Dubbed the Neutrino (concept), it might just be the key to a whole new crop of Zero super-fans. Here’s why.

+== Zero begins deliveries of its new low-cost electric motorcycles ==
+Micah Toll - Jul 31 2025 3:38 am PT
+After kicking off production last month, Zero Motorcycles has now officially begun deliveries of its highly anticipated X Line models. The first wave of customers is taking delivery of their new Zero XE and Zero XB electric motorcycles, marking a major milestone for the company’s push into more affordable off-road and adventure EVs.
+“The delivery of the first X Line bikes is a major milestone for Zero and for the future of off-road EV performance,” said Zero CEO Sam Paschel. “It’s the start of a new chapter in how adventure riding is experienced. With the XB and XE, we’re making electric motorcycles more accessible and approachable for riders everywhere.”
+Zero first unveiled the X Line late last year, announcing the two-bike lineup aimed at adventure and trail riders. The XE and XB models were designed to be affordable new platforms, not just budget versions of Zero’s existing on-road bikes.
+Both bikes are designed to be street-legal in Europe, but are intended only for off-road riding in the US.
