Scooter

Scooters have historically lagged behind even motorcycles in safety tech. Airbags have been integrated into some motorcycles for nearly two decades now, but haven't featured on scooters? Until now, with the launch of the Yamaha Tricity 300.

You'd think it would be Honda, Yamaha, or BMW Motorrad behind the world's first self-balancing e-motorcycle. Rather, it's a lesser-known Singaporean startup called OMOWAY, which just achieved this feat with its OMO X scooter.

Few companies do sportbikes like Aprilia. Of late, the Italian brand has expanded into other segments, most notably the adventure motorcycle category. Now, a new crossover scooter combines elements from both those styles.

For years, the maxi-scooter conversation has started and ended with one name: the Suzuki Burgman. Now, Taiwanese scooter manufacturer Sanyang Motorcycle is looking to challenge that status quo with the Cruisym 400.

This stunning concept machine combines race-inspired styling and a number of innovative ideas for maximizing performance – including the use of a sustainable, lightweight natural composite for its bodywork.

Phelon & Moore made its comeback in the two-wheeled scene only recently. It looks like the brand isn't resting on its laurels, coming up with an adventure scooter in a span of mere months since its revival. And it's coming for Yamaha and Honda.

Chinese e-mobility company Yadea, which sells more electric vehicles per year than Tesla, is launching in the European market, starting with four electric two wheelers initially heading to the UK thanks to a partnership with True Enterprises.

Zero has ventured into the scooter segment with the electric LS1. Unveiled at this year’s EICMA moto show in Milan, the e-scoot is all about making electric two-wheelers accessible for more people.

We're still reeling from EICMA madness, and I noticed something astounding we didn't get around to showing you: Italjet's Roadster 400. It features arguably some of the most innovative and inspired styling on a scooter in the last few years.

The Honda Sundiro Square X125 is one of the most interesting scooters we've seen in a while. It’s an off-road utilitarian scooter that’s unlike others in its category. And that’s not just because of the folding table.

Honda has launched the slightly tweaked version of the ADV350 scooter for the model year 2026. Not only does it have an agile motor, quality components, and solid underpinnings, but it also now gets fresh color options to sweeten the deal.

Kymco's AK 550i range has come far since its release in 2017. What was then, in essence, bold proof of the brand's technology and design has now come of age as a proper maxi scooter that boasts the ability to go long-distance touring... for $12,199.
