What If Your Classic, Vintage Vespa Could Easily Go Electric?

2 days ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

Several years ago, the Piaggio Group got right on board the EV train, offering up the Vespa Elettrica to satisfy a growing need in the international scooter market. And it's a nice-looking scooter, no question; full of the kind of styling that fans of modern Vespas already know and love. But that's the key, isn't it? Modern Vespas, though they do have their own appeal, just aren't the same as vintage Vespas. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
KTM To Stop Selling CFMoto Motorcycles In Europe, But Is Bajaj the Reason Why?

Think back, if you can, to early January. Back then, times were extremely uncertain for KTM, and no one quite knew what would come of the mega Austrian brand's struggles. Opinions are naturally wide and varied among any group of people, but generally speaking, no one wants to see an OEM go down. But we'd be lying if we said we weren't worried; plenty of people were.

Trump Admin Moves to Kneecap US CPSC, Because Who Cares If Your Bike Spontaneously Combusts?

3 days ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

I've been tracking and writing about product safety recalls for several years, from my relatively safe and comfy perch in Chicago. To do this, I rely on recall notices posted by two federal agencies. Broadly speaking, the US National Traffic Highway Safety Administration governs on-road vehicles (mainly motorcycles and helmets, for RideApart's purposes), while the US Consumer Product Safety Commission covers off-road vehicles. Think dirt bikes, ATVs, UTVs, and other powersports products.

It was early afternoon on a Thursday in Las Vegas when a fire broke out at a local powersports dealership. It's a mega-large place, the kind that sells both new and used motorcycles from multiple brands, as well as ATVs and UTVs.The place where the fire happened was in back of the RideNow Powersports location, near Boulder Highway and Russell Road.
Honda Aims To Be Number One In Motorcycles, Including EVs

4 days ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

If you've been observing electric motorcycles for a good length of time, then you're probably aware that the legacy OEMs got off to a slow start in development. Although Zero Motorcycles is now a veritable grandaddy in the electric motorcycle space (at the ripe old age of 19 in 2025, no less), it was once a young upstart, eager to change how people thought about motorcycles.
Even If You're Short, Here's How To Pick Up Your Big Adventure Motorcycle

I don't know where you live, but in the Chicago area, last weekend was the first weekend that the streets were alive with a whole bunch of bikes rumbling and roaring to life after the winter. On Saturday, the weather was picture-perfect: Sunny, breezy, and bright. Enough to make riders of all kinds of bikes positively giddy with delight.
Is Buying a Cheap, Broken Dirt Bike For Your Kids a Good Idea? Yes, Maybe

1 week ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

One of the best things about moto-YouTube is that there are so many different flavors of channels out there. You want a timelapse series of an expert doing a really nice, ground-up restoration of a bike? Cool. You want a mad engineering genius who builds a crossplane scooter engine out of thumper scraps? No problem. You want a gifted mechanic who's clearly good at teaching people, and doesn't mind sharing his tips (good and useful tips, too) in approachable, extremely user-friendly, practical videos?
Honda's Wild V3 Engine Gets One Step Closer To Reality, Trademark Filing Shows

1 week ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

Honda may or may not be doing it on purpose, but all the breadcrumbs it's dotting the trails with about its V3R engine concept are utterly tantalizing. First, there was the EICMA reveal, which people (including us, of course) oohed and aahed over for weeks. And then we had a couple of arguably less exciting developments: A brief anecdote about a ridable test bike unit during a Honda Motors Q&A here; a trademark filing there. So what do we have today?
Here's How You Get More Kids Into Motorcycles, and Science

1 week ago | rideapart.com | Janaki Jitchotvisut

When you were a kid, I'm going to bet that you loved building things. Taking them apart, putting them back together, doing your best to figure out how they worked. Or maybe just putting together LEGO kits was more your speed; that's cool, too. Most kids, from multiple generations, were (and are) exactly like this. Putting that together with the omnipresent thought of 'how do we get more kids into bikes,' something finally clicked into place in my brain.
