Miami custom shop Nmoto has a bit of a thing for the art deco era, and it's now released a (very expensive) carbon bodykit that can transform a current-model BMW C 400 X scooter into a bulbous retro ride inspired by a little-known 1936 custom bike.

Arc's ambitious Vector electric motorcycle is back on track for production, and the company has pulled its bodywork off for a fascinating look at its monocoque structure, in which the whole bike is built around the carbon fiber battery box.

Ducati is set to replace Energica as the sole bike supplier for the FIM MotoE series, starting in 2023, and the Italian company's new electric race bike prototype has now made its track debut with a test session at Misano.

Some electric dirtbikes hope to compete with gasoline-burners. The Stark Varg aims to dominate, destroy and humiliate them anywhere it's allowed to line up beside them. This is the most powerful, most extreme electric dirtbike we've ever seen.

The first Ducati with a 21-inch front wheel mixes tall suspension and ample ground clearance with the superbike genes of the 937-cc Testastretta V-twin. The result is a ferocious off-road alter ego to the Multistrada V2.

If you're a city dweller, then your daily trip to work is likely relatively short. UK startup Maeving is looking to get you there without contributing to local pollution levels, and in retro style, with the launch of the RM1 electric cafe racer.

UK company White Motorcycle Concepts, best known for the big hole in its land speed racer, has stuck a big hole and a small hybrid system into a three-wheeled police scooter, and says these two modifications can reduce emissions by up to 50 percent.

As announced last week, BSA is back. The first motorcycle of its new era has now been revealed at the UK's Motorcycle Live show, and it's a revival of the Gold Star, one of its most famous motorcycles, which was in production from 1939 until 1963.

The messy rebirth of Norton Motorcycles seems back on track under the company's new ownership, India's TVS, and the V4SV superbike is now ready to get its pants off. The V4CR cafe racer stands ready to join the super-naked class as a street weapon.

One of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers of the 1950s and 60s, BSA is set to resume operations almost half a century after it went bankrupt, funded by its new owner, India’s Mahindra & Mahindra, and with a new factory under construction in England.

At the EICMA 2021 expo in Milan, Taiwanese e-mobility firm the Ottobike Group celebrated the launch of a new e-moto brand with a gorgeous cafe racer concept, as well as a new ebike brand with an e-MTB, a city ebike and a BMX-style ride for the kids.

EICMA Milan: it's motorcyclese for Christmas, when the factory elves bring forth a bounty of gifts for the coming year – and we stand in cold, cynical judgement on their labors. Here are the bikes that have caught our attention thus far.
