Every now and then, a company launches something that doesn’t fit neatly into any existing category. Not because it’s obscenely powerful or flaunts conventional safety, but just because it doesn’t fit the mold that we’ve grown accustomed to. That’s exactly what the Infinite Machine Olto is.

Call it an e-bike, call it an electric moped, call it a scooter with pedals – everyone is going to have a different opinion. But after spending several weeks riding the Olto around town, I can confidently say one thing: it’s unlike anything else currently on the market.

Tern has unveiled an all-new version of its popular HSD compact cargo e-bike, bringing a long list of upgrades to one of the industry’s most respected family haulers. The new model keeps the same compact footprint that made the HSD so appealing in dense urban environments, but adds more carrying capacity, improved handling, Bosch’s latest drive systems, and new automatic shifting options.

Momentum, the urban-focused bicycle brand backed by cycling industry heavyweight Giant Group, has unveiled its latest commuter e-bike, the Vida E+ EX. Building on the original Vida E+ launched last year, the new model brings several notable upgrades aimed at making everyday transportation more comfortable, more capable, and a bit more tech-forward.

Germany is preparing to tighten the rules governing shared electric scooters, proposing new legislation that would make rental operators like Lime and Bolt directly liable for damages caused by their vehicles.

Swiss electric scooter maker VMAX has launched the new VX2 Lite, a commuter-focused electric scooter that packs premium features like full suspension, a 56-mile (90 km) maximum range, and up to 1,400W of peak motor power into a relatively lightweight package.

As communities across the US continue grappling with the rapid rise of electric bikes and scooters, one Oregon sheriff’s office is introducing a new tool designed to help identify trouble spots before someone gets hurt.

Yamaha has officially entered India’s increasingly competitive premium electric scooter market with the launch of the new Aerox-E, an electric version of its popular sporty maxi-scooter. Rather than chasing outright affordability, Yamaha is targeting riders looking for performance-focused urban transportation with premium features.

That has resulted in a more premium scooter, but also one of the highest scooter price tags in the country.

Trek is making a bigger push into the fast-growing fat tire e-bike segment with the launch of the new Borrego+, a Class 2 electric bike that blends adventure-ready capability with commuter-friendly practicality. The company is also offering a faster Borrego+ S variant for riders in markets where Class 3 e-bikes are permitted.

Ariel Rider has officially opened pre-orders for its new MUDD 72V, a high-performance two-wheeler that blurs the line between electric bikes (in the loosely defined sense) and lightweight electric motorcycles. In fact, the company itself is careful to market it as a “high-performance PPB (private property bike)” intended for off-road and closed-course use.
