You Can Now Take Your Motorcycle Exam on an Electric Motorcycle

The path to becoming a motorcyclist has long been paved with traditional gas engines and the subtle art of clutch control. But a new era is dawning. For those looking to join the ranks of riders, you can now earn your motorcycle license on an electric bike.

This isn’t just a minor tweak; it’s a significant shift. For years, the traditional learning process involved mastering the nuances of a gasoline engine – finding the friction zone, managing the throttle without stalling, and navigating the symphony of mechanical sounds.

Norton Will Reveal 4 New Models at EICMA 2025

The hallowed name of Norton, a marque steeped in British motorcycling history, is set to emerge from the shadows with a renewed vigor, thanks to its parent company, TVS.

Word has it that TVS is preparing a significant push, with four new Norton models slated to break cover by late 2025, and arriving in showrooms by the summer of 2026.

Fewer than 400 Charging Stations Built Despite $7.5 Billion In Federal Funding for Infrastructure

Sometimes, even the grandest plans hit a roadblock, not of asphalt, but of bureaucracy. Such, it seems, is the tale of America’s electric vehicle charging stations. Another of the many failings of the US Federal Government.

Fewer than a measly 400 charging stations were built despite there being $7.5 billion approved for Infrastructure spending under Biden. So if you want to ride electric motorcycles, you’re still pretty limited on where you can go.

The Triumph Thruxton 400 Is Coming Soon

For too long, the Thruxton has been a machine of noble displacement. But now, a new chapter is set to begin, proving that big character doesn’t always need a big engine.

Word on the street is that Triumph is readying a pint-sized Thruxton for an August debut: the Thruxton 400. Born from Triumph’s clever partnership with Bajaj, it’s designed to bring that heritage, that feeling of pure, unadulterated motorcycling, to a wider audience, in much the same way the Scrambler 400X does.

The KTM 790 Adventure and 790 Duke Were Cut From the US Lineup

The winds of change blow through the motorcycle world, and sometimes, they carry a whisper of what’s no longer coming ashore. KTM has, with a quiet nod, pared down its American lineup.

For a while there, we saw the 790 Duke, a sharp street scalpel, and the 790 Adventure, a capable wanderer, gracing the virtual showrooms. But now, like a desert mirage, they’ve simply… faded from the U.S. website.

Take a Look at the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X

The dust, my friends, never truly settles on the motocross track, and Triumph is once again stirring it up with their latest weapon: the 2026 Triumph TF 250-X. This is a dirt bike that is a finely tuned scalpel, honed for the cutthroat dance of the dirt.

They say you can’t improve on perfection, but Triumph’s engineers, bless their determined souls, clearly didn’t get the memo. This quarter-liter brawler, a beast that’s already been sniffing podiums in the brutal arenas of Supercross and MXGP, has been given a good going-over for the new season.

Singapore Investors Save Energica

The road of invention, my friends, is a bumpy one, full of twists and turns, and sometimes, a dead end that looks mighty final.

Such was the tale of Energica, that Italian outfit with dreams of electric fire, building two-wheeled wonders like the Ego and Eva Ribelle, silent rockets meant to stir the soul, not just get you to the grocery store.

LiveWire New Bikes: Two New Models

The future arrives with a silent hum rather than a thunderous roar, at least for LiveWire. At the grand Harley-Davidson Homecoming, where the very air usually vibrates with V-twin symphony, LiveWire pulled back the curtain on a pair of electric whispers that just might redefine the trail ahead.

These two-wheeled notions – a street scrambler and a dirt-loving trail bike – are lean, agile, and packing a punch roughly equivalent to a 125cc gasoline engine. Think of them as urban sprites or woodland fairies, silent and swift.

The 2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Is Here for Adventuring

The horizon beckons, and Triumph has heard its call with a delightful new machine that whispers tales of dirt roads and sun-drenched adventures.

Feast your eyes upon the 2026 Triumph Scrambler 400 XC, a fresh chapter in the book of two-wheeled joy that proves you don’t need a thousand cubic centimeters to stir the soul.

Summer Discounts on Select Harley-Davidsons

The rumble you hear is the sound of opportunity rolling in from Milwaukee. Yes, I’m talking about Harley-Davidson.

The grand old dame of American iron is making it a little easier for good people to throw a leg over a brand-new hog thanks to some summer discounts, and that’s news worth shouting through the nearest chrome pipe.
