Positive Motorcycles is back on the radar, and this time the story is less about the EGERA itself and more about whether the Italian outfit can get riders on the road. The Lake Como startup says it is entering a pre-seed round after five years of self-funded R&D, with a validated prototype, identified distributors, secured suppliers and road testing up to 175 km/h (108 mph) already under its belt.

The latest instalment in the Donut saga is here, and this one builds on the VTT programme we’ve been tracking from the start. Up to now, the focus has been on charging speed, thermal behaviour and real-world pack performance. This latest test shifts the spotlight onto safety, specifically, how the cell behaves after it’s already been damaged.

Benzina Zero has landed in the UK through distributor MicroVolt, giving its utility bikes a clearer route into the British market.

FTN Motion is back with a new e-moto, and the Streetdog XR sticks closely to the formula that’s already winning the Kiwi brand a loyal following. It's still a lightweight, urban-first e-moto with clean lines and modest power, but the new XR now adds a bit more speed and a bit more edge over the older models.

LiveWire has cut the price of the ONE across Europe, with fresh pricing now appearing in the UK, Germany and Switzerland. The bike now starts at £12,990 in the UK, down from £18,290, the kind of move that shifts it out of halo-bike money and into a much more realistic conversation.
