Following a record-breaking financial year for Triumph Motorcycles and several years of product development, the British motorcycle brand has announced that its 2026 lineup will include 33 new and updated models. Ten models have already been announced, with 23 left to go.
2026 Triumph TF 250-C and TF 450-C
The financial year between July 2024 to June 2025 saw more than 141,000 units delivered worldwide across Triumph’s network of 950 dealers in 68 countries. This figure represents a 136% growth in sales since 2019. Sales across Asia have increased thanks to the sub-500cc range, including the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X (announced for 2024), as well as the new-for-2026 Scrambler 400 XC, one of the 10 bikes already announced for the new model year.

The new Triumph TXP-12 and TXP-16 are electric dirtbikes for young riders. With age ranges of 3-5 and 5-7 respectively, the TXP bikes offer parental control of the riding experience and a modular design to be suitable for a range of skill levels and riding experiences.
2026 Triumph TXP-12
The bikes were built through Triumph’s acquisition of Oset, which took place in 2022. While Oset offers similar-sized electric dirtbikes called the 12.5R and 16.0R, the Triumph-branded models feature a few key differences, including brushless motors, waterproof lithium-ion batteries, and the modular design.

The 2-in-1 design allows both bikes to quickly switch between a trials bike and a seated off-road bike by removing or adding the seat and front fender. Both bikes also include safety features like a magnetic safety lanyard and two-stage startup, as well as a PIN-protected control panel that allows parents to set parameters for throttle response, speed, and power. The battery can be removed without tools, and the LED panel shows real-time battery status.
2026 Triumph TXP-16 in Xplore mode
The TXP-12 is the smaller of the two and is designed for riders aged between 3-5. The TXP-12 rides on a steel frame, weighs 50.5 lb, and is powered by a 600-watt 43-volt brushless motor with a 14-mph top speed and a claimed three hours of light riding on a full charge. It features a seat height of 17.5 inches with the seat or 14.2 inches without the seat, as well as child-sized grips and short-reach brake levers. The fork offers 1.97 inches of suspension travel, and the rear shock offers 2.36 inches with preload adjustability. Ground clearance is 5.98 inches.

The TXP-16 is the next step up for riders aged 5-7, and it includes some upgraded components for youngsters looking to advance their riding skills. It’s powered by a 765-watt, 43-volt motor with a top speed of 19 mph, it includes hydraulic disc brakes, and it weighs 59 lb. Seat height is 21.6 inches with the seat and 17.7 inches without, and its suspension travel is increased to 3.15 inches front and 3.54 inches rear. Ground clearance is 9.06 inches.
2026 Triumph TXP-16 in Xplore mode
Both the Triumph TXP-12 and Triumph TXP-16 will be available in Triumph Performance Yellow and Graphite Black. The TXP-12 will have an MSRP of $1,695, and the TXP-16 will be priced at $2,295. Triumph says that early orders can be placed now to guarantee pre-Christmas delivery. Visit the Triumph website for more information.
While many riders still favor gas-powered motorcycles, the Reload Land Electric Motorcycle Festival celebrates the innovated leaps being taken in the realm of electric motorcycles. (Photos by the author)
After participating in this year’s Moto Giro d’Italia – well known for its glorious array of petrol-powered classic motorcycles – I travelled to Berlin for a very different type of event: Reload Land – The Electric Motorcycle Festival, which was held June 7-8 at the Napoleon Komplex.
I lived in West Berlin back when the wall still cut through this part of the city, so this would be a homecoming of sorts, allowing me to revisit my old stomping grounds while immersing myself in the sights – and silence – of the electric motorcycle scene. Until now, this world had been mostly unfamiliar to me.
While the switch from warm Italian sunshine to Berlin’s unseasonably chilly air and looming rainclouds wasn’t ideal, my excitement for the weekend didn’t waver. The Napoleon Komplex had been transformed with banners and manufacturer displays, unified under the event’s slogan: Fahre elektrisch – Tanze aus der Reihe, or “Drive electric – dance out of line.”
Test riding the LiveWire Del Mar.
It was a fitting motto for a thoughtfully curated event brought to life by festival founder Maximilian Funk and his team. Their aim? To show that life on two wheels without engine noise can be just as thrilling as its petrol-powered counterpart.
To the right of the main entrance was a dedicated demo fleet area. To the left, a large Can-Am display stood alongside LiveWire’s offering, both adjacent to an outdoor bar and seating area. A modest stage was set up for the evening’s entertainment: electronic music, naturally. Notably absent was Zero Motorcycles – at least officially. The only appearance of a Zero came courtesy of German YouTuber Paddy Lectric, whose privately owned Zero DSR/X was parked nearby. Paddy also runs a website called “Stecker Biker” (Plug Biker).
Also making a charming appearance in the forecourt was Revive’s classic VW Bulli van and a Citroën 2CV coffee cart – both, of course, converted to electric.
Can-Am Pulse
Inside the Electric Kingdom
Inside the darkened hall, spotlit stands created a moody, theatrical vibe. Photography was a challenge until the daylight improved later in the day. Near the entrance, in front of the main stage, stood a striking electric Porsche 911, converted by the firm Revive. Yours for a tidy $100,000 and change.
Sharing stage space were custom bikes from Crooked and Loose Screw. Crooked’s E-Type – built on an RGNT No. 1 Scrambler SE – merges the looks of their petrol-based customs with an electric powertrain, illustrating how the two worlds can coexist.
Crooked E-Type
Nearby was a practical electric cargo bike from Fat Albert, seemingly designed with crate-of-beer transport in mind. Can-Am’s electric offerings, the Pulse and Origin, were not only displayed in the main hall but also available for test rides outside.
Maeving, a British manufacturer, showcased two bikes in their minimalist-retro style: one in cool white with racing stripes and another in a more understated gray. Test rides were on offer too.
Maeving showed two bikes and offered test rides.
Black Tea Motorcycles, a Munich-based firm, displayed their signature model sans faux fuel tank to highlight the battery arrangement. Meanwhile, Metorbike from Hamburg leaned into nostalgic vibes, designing their frames around the 1970s Puch Magnum moped.

Enverotricity – quite the tongue-twister – offered an off-road platform that could be configured into five different versions depending on rider preference.
From India to Estonia
Emco scooters, from Lower Saxony, were also on display, including their sleek black Unu scooter. Their fleet-focused electric scooters have ranges of 50 to 130 km (31-81 miles) and top out at 45 km/h (28 mph).
Emco scooter
A major international highlight was Ultraviolette, an Indian electric motorcycle brand that launched its F77 Mach 2 Recon and F77 Superstreet Recon models in Europe at the event. With aerospace-inspired engineering, the F77 boasts 40 hp, 74 lb-ft of torque, and a top speed of 155 km/h (96 mph). Acceleration is equally impressive: 0-60 km/h (37 mph) in 2.8 seconds and 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.7. A five-year battery warranty and regenerative braking (up to 30% energy recovery) make this a very compelling option.
Ultraviolette’s F77 Mach 2 Recon
For 2026, Ultraviolette plans to launch two more models: the Tesseract e-scooter and the Shockwave, a lightweight motorcycle promising the thrill of old-school 2-stroke bikes in futuristic form.
Verge Motorcycles, with roots in Estonia and an innovation hub in San Francisco, had jaws dropping with their TS Pro – delivering an earth-moving 738 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). Its massive rear tire is like that of Triumph’s Rocket 3 and Ducati’s XDiavel.

East German Classics and Swiss Speed
Czech designer Ladislav Jecminek presented the Havoc, a futuristic dual-purpose e-motorcycle capable of 43 hp and a range of around 130 km (81 miles).
A Simson converted to electric by Second Ride.
Berlin-based Second Ride brought something special: converted Simson mopeds and scooters from East Germany. These 2-stroke classics, once the most produced two-wheelers in the country, have been reborn as low-maintenance, zero-emission machines. Over 800 conversion kits have already left their facility. I took a black version of the S51 for a spin around the block and was surprised by its pep.

Coopop, a brand developed in South Korea and refined in Germany, had a tidy line-up of city-focused e-bikes, including bobber and scrambler styles with 11 hp, 120 km (75 miles) of range, and top speeds of 45 km/h (28 mph).

Bold Concepts & Silent Power
Around the corner, another space featured interviews with exhibitors and hosted the Reload Custom Electric Bike exhibit – dramatically lit and full of boundary-pushing design.
Danish startup Diem showed off its X-01, a striking concept featuring a single-beam frame, single-sided swingarm, Brembo brakes, Showa forks, and an axial flux hub motor rated at 47.5 hp.
Diem X-01
From Sweden came the Polestar Exö, a concept designed by industrial design graduate Joel Wengström. Inspired by biomimicry and featuring a bio-composite exoskeleton shaped like a scorpion’s tail, it was one of the show’s more avant-garde entries.
Switzerland’s Hush Cycles stunned attendees with their Superior GT – a 200-hp hubless electric motorcycle with a range of up to 400 km (249 miles), acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, and a whopping 50-liter trunk. Only 300 units will be built.

Electric Shock & Chopper Cool
Proving electric vehicles can still pack a punch, Volto – a yellow custom electric car based on a Volvo 850 – was transformed by JP Performance into a beast with 1,000 hp and selectable drive modes.
To close the loop between old school and new school, Sine Cycles presented the King Current – a chopper-style electric bike built around a 2016 Zero FX drivetrain. With exposed backbone, cantilever suspension, and 43 hp on tap, it made a statement without making a sound.

Riding the Silence
Later in the day, I suited up for a booked test ride on the LiveWire Del Mar. A group of four riders was led through Berlin’s streets. This was my first proper ride on an electric streetbike. At first, the silence was unnerving – until I opened the throttle on a clear stretch of road and felt the instant torque. I was hooked.
Traffic stops were slightly comical – a group of silent machines idling at red lights, no exhaust notes to be heard. Some of the roads we travelled had already seen rain, and with more on the way, I made a quick dash to the Can-Am area for another test ride.
First up was their Origin dual-sport bike. While the power delivery was great, I found the seat height a bit too tall for comfort. Halfway through the ride I swapped to the Pulse, and by then, the heavens had opened. We were soaked, but I found the lower-slung Pulse much more enjoyable.
Both bikes feature a Rotax E-Power system that cleverly combines the battery, inverter, charger, and motor into a single liquid-cooled unit – helping manage heat even during fast charging. With 47 hp, 53 lb-ft of torque, and a sub-4-second 0-60 mph time on the Pulse, performance was more than adequate.
I returned drenched and opted to skip Sunday’s program due to worsening forecasts. I missed the launch of the Ichiban electric bike, which was prominently featured on the Reload poster, and also the Saturday Night Silent Ride, which reportedly drew over 100 electric bikes and scooters – a signature moment for the event.

Final Thoughts
As I rode the LiveWire Del Mar through Berlin, silently speeding along on an open stretch of road, I couldn’t help but wonder: What if a pedestrian stepped out, unaware of my presence due to the lack of sound? Fortunately, some brands are addressing this concern – Metorbike, for example, offers eight sound modules for its bikes.
Finally, it’s worth noting that Reload Land is expanding its footprint: The first Silent Ride Paris took place on June 28, 2025, cruising through the French capital’s iconic landmarks. Next up is Milan, Italy, on September 13, 2025. Spread the volt!
The CFMOTO 450CL-C is one of three updated models for 2026.
CFMOTO has announced its full 2026 model lineup. We’ve already released news about the new 675NK, a naked version of the 675SS. The rest of the 2026 CFMOTO lineup includes a new youth electric dirtbike, three updated models, and numerous returning models.
In other CFMOTO news, the brand has released a statement regarding the online rumors about a subscription model for its app features. CFMOTO says this subscription model is not applicable to U.S. customers. The RideSync app, which is free to all CFMOTO USA customers, does not require a subscription, and CFMOTO has no plans to add a subscription. The subscription is only relevant to customers in Europe and other parts of the world who use the CFMOTO Global Ride App. Now on to the model lineup…
2026 CFMOTO CFX-5E | New
Other than the 675NK, the only new model in the 2026 lineup is for the kids: the CFX-5E, a youth electric dirtbike that’s the big brother of the existing CFX-2E. It’s powered by a 4-kW electric motor with a swappable 44-volt battery (five-hour charge time from 0-100%), netting a claimed 62 miles of range. Four speed modes allow tuning speeds based on the rider’s experience or comfort level and include Stage 1 (15 mph), Stage 2 (34 mph), Stage 3 (43 mph), and Reverse (1 mph).
Compared to the smaller CFX-2E, the 5E gets longer suspension travel and larger wheels. Suspension includes a telescopic fork and central monoshock, and the wheels are made of aluminum alloy and measure 14 inches in front and 12 inches in the rear. Seat height is 26.7 inches, and curb weight is 145 lb. The bike also comes with a magnetic safety tether.
The 2026 CFMOTO CFX-5E will be available in Zephyr Blue with an MSRP of $2,599.
2026 CFMOTO 450SS | Updated
The 450SS sportbike is one of three updated models for 2026. The announcement doesn’t dive deep into the updates but does show a change in some figures on the spec chart. Notably, the liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-Twin shows a slight increase in power and torque, from 50 hp to 51 hp at 9,500 rpm and from 28.8 lb-ft of torque at 7,600 rpm to 29.5 lb-ft at 7,750 rpm.
The announcement doesn’t specify where this small increase in power and torque figures comes from, but it does reveal a 5-lb weight gain from the 2025 model, from 370 lb to 375 lb. It also gets a new curved 5-inch TFT screen, tire pressure monitoring, and a USB-C port.
The 2026 CFMOTO 450SS will be available in Nebula White or Nebula Black with an MSRP of $5,699, the same price as the 2025 model.
2026 CFMOTO 450CL-C | Updated
The only update to the CFMOTO 450CL-C cruiser seem to be a new color option. Replacing the previous Bordeaux Red is a new Teal Green. Everything else remains the same.
The 450CL-C is powered by a liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-Twin with DOHC, a 270-degree crank, and dual counterbalancers mated to a 6-speed transmission, a slip/assist clutch, and a Gates belt final drive. Braking is provided by J.Juan, and ABS and traction control are standard. The 450CL-C rides on a 58.5-inch wheelbase and has a 27-inch seat height and a 399-lb curb weight.
The 2026 CFMOTO 450CL-C will be available in Nebula Black or Teal Green with an MSRP of $5,799.
2026 CFMOTO Papio SS | Updated
The Papio SS minibike also gets new colors for 2026, as well as a slightly larger front brake disc (from 210mm to 220mm) and the addition of traction control. New color options are Clay Yellow and Nebula White, replacing the outgoing Magma Red and Moss Green.
The Papio SS, styled like a miniature cafe racer, is powered by an air-cooled 126cc Single that makes 9.4 hp at 8,250 rpm and 6.8 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm. It has a 6-speed gearbox, an inverted telescopic fork, a central monoshock, and standard ABS. Wheelbase is 47.8 inches, seat height is 29.9 inches, and curb weight is 251 lb.
The 2026 CFMOTO Papio SS will be available with an MSRP of $3,299.
2026 CFMOTO Returning Models
All other CFMOTO models return from the previous year unchanged.
In the “sport” category, in addition to the 450SS discussed above, the 675SS and 300SS return. The “adventure” category includes the Ibex 800 E and the Ibex 450. Naked bikes include the 800NK, the new-for-2026 675NK, the 450NK, and the 300NK. The “mini” category includes the Papio SS described above and the scrambler-styled Papio CL. The CFX-2E youth electric dirtbike returns alongside the new-for-2026 CFX-5E described above.
The Can-Am Pulse roadster (left) and Origin dual-sport (right) earned BRP the iF Design Award for outstanding and innovative designs.
BRP, the parent company of Can-Am, has been recognized with an iF Design Award for the brand’s two new electric motorcycles, the Can-Am Pulse roadster and Can-Am Origin dual-sport. For the 2025 awards, 131 jurors from 23 countries met for three days to select outstanding and innovative designs.

The iF Design Awards are assigned based on a product’s innovation, functionality, and aesthetics, with a focus on sustainability. The Pulse and Origin mark a bold reentrance to the two-wheeled market for Can-Am, offering unique styling and integrated technology like their liquid-cooled power system that helps limit battery degradation and optimize charge time. The two bikes share many components but offer riders different experiences, with the Pulse being designed for daily use and urban mobility and the Origin being designed for both on- and off-road duty.
2025 Can-Am Origin dual-sport
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the iF Design Award,” said Denys Lapointe, chief design officer at BRP. “I want to acknowledge the work of the passionate team who designed these motorcycles, reaffirming once again BRP’s commitment to developing products that shift the paradigm. The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin redefine electric motorcycle riding. They have distinct personalities but have one major thing in common: they blend iconic style with forward-thinking technology, providing people with unparalleled riding experiences.”
Both the Pulse and Origin use a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque.
When we reviewed the Pulse and Origin in Texas in September 2024, we were impressed with the bikes’ innovation and functionality, stating that “If Can-Am can crack the range issue, these bikes would be unstoppable. Everything else – build quality, performance, design, and tech – is simply outstanding…” For an in-depth look and riding impressions, read our 2025 Can-Am Pulse and Origin Review or watch our YouTube video review.
Congratulations to BRP and Can-Am for this prestigious international award. All iF Design Award winners will be celebrated at the iF Design Award Night in Berlin on April 28, 2025. Find more information about the awards at the iF Design website.
The Origin began arriving at dealerships in January, and the Pulse is arriving at dealerships now. Visit the Can-Am website for more information.
The first Can-Am electric motorcycle to roll off the assembly line was a 2025 Can-Am Origin dual-sport.
Once known for championship-winning motocross bikes, Can-Am last produced a two-wheeled motorcycle in 1987. Nearly 40 years later, Can-Am has re-entered the two-wheeled market with two all-electric models: the Origin dual-sport and the Pulse roadster. The first production bike – a 2025 Can-Am Origin #0001 – recently rolled off the assembly line at the company’s plant in Querétaro, Mexico.
“Today, we are celebrating the first Can-Am electric motorcycles coming off the assembly line,” said Josee Perreault, Chief Marketing Officer. “With this milestone, Can-Am is bringing new energy to the global electric motorcycle market. Built on 80-plus years of powersports ingenuity, these all-new, all-electric bikes are proof once again that innovation is at the core of what we do. Today marks the day we reclaim our two-wheel heritage. Can-Am motorcycles are officially here!”
In September, we had a chance to ride the Origin and Pulse, which are built on a shared platform that uses a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque (roughly equivalent to a 700cc internal-combustion bike). For more details and our impressions, read our review and watch our video.
“It’s great to see the first Can-Am motorcycle roll off the assembly line,” said Denys Lapointe, Chief Design Officer. “We’ve put years of product design, development, and engineering into them to optimize the riding and ownership experience. They’re contemporary, technologically advanced, and they’re designed to be simple and fun to ride regardless of your experience. Once behind the handlebars, riders will see that we built these from the ground up with them in mind, from the nimble handling, to the comfort and ergonomics that makes them feel at one with the bikes. Here’s to awakening the energy within every rider!”
“The first Can-Am electric motorcycle coming off the assembly line is a huge milestone for BRP as we position ourselves to be a global leader in the electric motorcycle industry,” said Sandy Scullion, President, Powersports and Marine. “In addition to the incredible riding experience the Can-Am Pulse and Origin offers, one of our core advantages is our extensive global dealer network that will be selling and servicing Can-Am motorcycles. We can’t wait to start getting these bikes in the hands of riders all over the world.”
The 2025 Can-Am Origin and Pulse motorcycles will be in dealerships in early 2025. For more information, visit the Can-Am website.

Can-Am re-enters the motorcycle scene for the first time since 1987 in a bold move with two new electric bikes: the Can-Am Origin dual-sport and Can-Am Pulse roadster. Both are powered by a 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery, producing a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque. Interesting features include liquid cooling to extend battery life, the enclosed chain case that reduces maintenance and sound, and the 10.25-inch TFT touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay.
Curious to find out how these electric motorcycles perform, we accepted Can-Am’s invitation to Austin, Texas, where we put the Pulse and Origin through their paces, flicking the Pulse through tight city streets and ripping the Origin around a 400-acre off-road ranch. Although all electric bikes today suffer from limited range, we were impressed by the bikes’ build quality, performance, design, and tech.
Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 in the “Timeless” colorway
Royal Enfield launches into the EV market with the announcement of its new sub-brand, Flying Flea. Under this brand, the classic-styled Flying Flea C6 motorcycle is said to come on the market by the spring of 2026, followed by the scrambler-styled Flying Flea S6.
Technical details about these two electric motorcycles are sparse for now, but Royal Enfield has stated that it has invested funds in Stark Future, the Barcelona-based manufacturer of electric off-road bikes. The company has also stated it has begun development of an EV manufacturing plant in Chennai, India, and that all aspects of the new electric bikes are being developed in-house by Royal Enfield engineers in India and the U.K.
Flying Flea gets its name from a Royal Enfield model from the 1940s, and it’s meant to highlight the city-focused bikes’ light weight and agility, although specific figures like weight have not been announced.
“Flying Flea combines distinctive style, city-focused practicality, and cutting-edge technology,” said Royal Enfield CEO B. Govindarajan. “This is the start of a fresh, sustainable ride for us and offers the world an elegant, effective, and sustainable everyday transportation.”
The first model to be produced under the new brand will be the Flying Flea C6, which takes design inspiration from the WWII-era model. The forged aluminum girder fork is a key aspect of this classic-inspired styling. It will also feature a visually distinctive forged aluminum frame and a magnesium battery case.
Royal Enfield says the C6 will be equipped with a round touchscreen cluster. The central vehicle control unit is said to offer more than 200,000 ride-mode combinations, monitor the bike to alert the rider if it’s moved, and accept over-the-air updates. The brand also claims the new EV will be equipped with lean-angle-sensitive ABS and cruise control.

The 2025 Husqvarna Pioneer is a new electric dual-sport motorcycle. It is street legal, and its indicators, horn, and license plate holder can be removed for exclusive off-road use.
Powering the Pioneer is a power pack that will be shared with other Husqvarna models in upcoming years. The 11kW motor produces a claimed peak of 19.2 kW (25.7 hp) and 27.7 lb-ft of torque, and top speed is claimed to be 59 mph. As an electric bike, the Pioneer has one permanent drive, with no clutch or gearbox.
The MX50 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery weights 63.9 lb and offers two to three hours of enduro-style riding time. It comes with a 660W charger that can charge from 0-100% in eight hours, and an optional 3.3 kW charger reduces charge time to two hours. Husqvarna says the battery can be removed in 10 minutes to swapped with a fully charged spare battery, and it takes 1,000 recharges until the battery reaches an 80% state of health.
The Pioneer’s LCD display features a simple layout limited to only key info. Riders can toggle from state of charge, ride mode, recuperation level, clock, tripmeter, accumulated run time, and odometer. Three ride modes alter torque and power delivery, and recuperation can also be set from Off, Mid, or High. Traction control is switchable and adjusted per ride mode. Additional tech includes a Rollover Sensor to cut power after a crash or tip-over.
The LCD display keeps things simple. Riders can toggle through vehicle info using the buttons on the left of the screen.
The Husqvarna Pioneer has a chromoly steel frame with the motor and battery as stressed members. The subframe is made of aluminum and glass-fiber-reinforced nylon. The bike’s overall weight is a claimed 246.9 lb, seat height is 35.8 inches, and ground clearance is 13.5 inches.
The motor and battery of the Pioneer are stressed members of the chromoly steel frame.
A WP XACT 43mm fork is fully adjustable and offers 9.8 inches of travel. In the rear, the WP XPLOR PDS shock is also fully adjustable and offers 9.4 inches of travel. The black-anodized rims (21-inch front, 18-inch rear) are wrapped in Michelin Enduro tires.
Since the Husqvarna Pioneer doesn’t have a clutch, the rear brake is operated via a lever on the left side of the handlebar, similar to a bicycle brake setup. Braking components are made by Braktec, with a 260mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc. The handlebar is made by ProTaper.
Pricing for the 2025 Husqvarna Pioneer electric dual-sport has not yet been announced.
