Triumph Motorcycles has officially entered the electric off-road youth segment with the launch of its new TXP range, a two-model lineup developed in partnership with electric trials specialist OSET. The move expands Triumph’ s off-road portfolio and marks the brand’ s first step into the youth EV market, targeting riders ages 3 to 7.

MODULAR SETUP The TXP−12 and TXP−16 are engineered from the ground up with age-specific frames, geometry, and controls, giving children an authentic and confidence-building off-road experience from their first ride to early competition.

Each model features lightweight steel construction, adjustable suspension, and a two-inone modular setup that allows easy conversion between XPlore mode( seated off-road) and Trials mode( standing, balance-focused riding). The modular approach allows parents to adapt the bike as the child grows in skill and confidence— essentially two bikes in one platform.

PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY Both TXP models feature brushless electric motors with smooth, scalable power delivery managed by Field-Oriented Control and Active Power Stabilization systems for precise torque and consistent performance.

The TXP−12 delivers 600W of power, while the larger TXP−16 produces 765W, offering a step-up in torque and speed as riders advance. Each bike features adjustable throttle response, speed, and power settings, enabling parents to customize performance

Honda Powersports is taking the next step toward electrification across its portfolio of products by unveiling its first electric motorcycle, the Honda WN7.

Honda says it will continue to respond to the diverse needs of customers by advancing efforts to create a full lineup of EVs, from commuters to“ Fun” models, and by offering a wide variety of environmentally friendly

“ With the GTS, customers are experiencing firsthand how different it feels compared to traditional side-by-sides. It blends the quiet power of an EV with desert-runner speed and rock-crawling capability,” says Daniel Boyer, sales and marketing manager at Vanderhall.

The GTS is designed to tackle technical terrain, steep climbs, sand dunes, and highspeed desert runs while delivering a quieter, zero-emission ride. Inside, riders get heated front and rear seats, air conditioning, ergonomic controls, and a premium fit and finish.

“ This is an exciting moment for us because it’ s not just about introducing a vehicle— it’ s about seeing customers take delivery and head straight for the trails,” Boyer notes.

As Vanderhall ramps up deliveries in additional regions this year, dealer support, training, and parts deployment will be critical to ensuring the GTS delivers on its promise— both for customers and for the dealer base.
