Cycling today can involve taking a lot of tech along for the ride. For the third collaboration, Yashica and I'm Back are aiming to ease your journey with a smart helmet designed for "urban commuters, ebike enthusiasts, and tech-savvy riders."

The efficiency of a tooth-on-tooth geared transmission, with the smoothly variable gear ratios of a CVT – minus the belt friction and capable of going all the way down to a zero ratio without needing a clutch. That's a 'holy grail' level promise!

Indian EV manufacturer Ola Electric has made another extraordinary announcement, launching a new range of radically cheap electric scooters, complete with swappable batteries, that'll set riders back a fraction of the cost of a typical ebike.

While many EVs use solar panels to boost their range, those panels often don't look like they'd make a big difference. Such is not the case with the Lightfoot scooter, which is covered with panels that provide up to 18 miles of extra range per day.

Harley-Davidson's all-electric LiveWire division is collaborating with Taiwanese scooter giant KYMCO on high-performance electric maxi-scooters. Anticipated to hit the market in 2026, these scooters will make use of LiveWire’s S2 Arrow powertrain.

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.

How good does a bike have to look in order to make up for the fact it's functionally compromised? From futuristic customs to retro throwbacks, these five motorcycles make hefty practical sacrifices at the altar of vanity.

One of the rarest, most bizarre and most sought after Vespa scooters of all time is for sale ... at around half the price it usually sells for.

Chinese manufacturer Doufeng is set to release a tilting three-wheeler with a roof to keep the rain – and sun – off riders in traffic. Electric and combustion versions are set to drop, with price tags that'd look cheap on an ebike.

If you're looking to zip through the city and beyond, Segway has launched a new ZT series of electric kickscooters at IFA 2024. First up is the ZT3 Pro model, which has been "engineered for both urban adventures and off-road excursions."

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.

It's not an ebike as such. And it's not an electric scooter either. It's described as a micro bike, so that's what we'll stick with. The original JackRabbit electric micro bike has now been upgraded for its second generation.
