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.

Custom Triumph Bonneville T100 by Heiwa Motorcycles

This custom Triumph Bonneville T100, born from the legendary workshop of Japan’s Heiwa Motorcycles. Kengo Kimura, the quiet genius behind Heiwa, is a man known for conjuring both wild showpieces and these delightful, everyday custom machines.

For this particular project, Kimura-san chose an older, air-cooled 2000 model Bonneville T100, packing a 790cc engine. A smart choice, as these are more accessible and perfectly suited for what he envisioned: a true “bar hopper.”

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.

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.
