Concept Motorcycles

Honda’s presence in the electric two-wheeler space has long been limited to one-off scooters and bikes. But all that is set to change with the unveiling a performance electric motorcycle called the EV Fun Concept at this year’s EICMA trade show.

CFMoto's engineers have had their hands full. Its booth at EICMA had quite a few new releases on display, but the star of the show was a brand new, state-of-the-art 1,000cc V4 and a superbike concept signalling the company's WSBK intentions.

The global leader in the mid-size motorcycle segment has taken the wraps off not just its first-ever electric motorcycle, but also a separate EV vertical altogether, dubbed Flying Flea. RE has confirmed that it will arrive in Spring 2026.

Built on a crossover platform, the CV-R5 prototype further blurs the lines between an adventure bike and a scooter. With an off-road chassis, semi-knobby tires, and a 427cc engine, the CV-R5 is designed to spruce up the adventure scooter category.

Zero has collaborated with San Francisco's Huge Design to produce this super-futuristic take on the brand's SR/S electric sports tourer. Snub-nosed and snub-tailed with a wide slot of a headlight, the SR-X looks like it dropped out of Cyberpunk 2077.

It's not finished or painted, but it's ready to ride. Triumph's collaboration with Williams, Integral and WMG is now fully assembled and ready to begin testing. The TE-1 prototype looks terrific, and promises huge power and performance.

Every so often, the folks at BMW Motorrad launch visions of future mobility, such as the outrageous Vision Next 100 and the eye-popping Concept Link. The latest, the Concept CE 02, rides a line somewhere between a small motorcycle and a motorscooter.

The Italian master of braking systems, Brembo, has unveiled its vision of the future in the shape of the New G Sessanta concept brake caliper. It's equipped with customizable LEDs and potentially groundbreaking connectivity features.

In 2011, Husqvarna had an idea for a lightweight moto called the Concept E-go, but waited until 2019 before first stepping into electric mobility with the EE 5 electric minibike. Now the E-Pilen concept signals an upcoming all-electric range.

BMW's wacky Concept Link electric scooter from 2017 is within a few months of becoming a super futuristic-looking production bike, and this new Definition CE 04 is the last time we'll see it without mirrors and a license plate.

Triumph has taken the unusual step of presenting a "design prototype" of its upcoming Trident, a neo-retro middleweight roadster that presumably uses the outstanding 765cc 3-cylinder engine from the Street Triple.

During the proceedings of a Connected Motorcycle Consortium conference in Munich, BMW introduced a R1200RS ConnectedRide. The prototype demonstrates the kind of inter-vehicle technology that is developed for the integration of two-wheelers in future connected transport systems.
