Good news for muscle bike fans: there?s a new Suzuki Hayabusa coming. We?ve also got details of a stunning new custom from Hookie Co. inspired by NASA, an electric off-roader with big-name backers, and a wild custom R nineT from a pair of Californian BMW dealerships.

Trevor DTRe Stella There?s a still a niggling feeling of vaporware in the electric moto scene. It?s hard to keep up with all the launches and PR these days, or figure out who?s actually buying the damn things. And for every successful maker like Zero or UBCO, there?s a Brammo or Alta fallen by the wayside.

This new venture ticks a lot of boxes, though. Trevor Motorcycles founders Philippe Stella and Jeroen-Vincent Nagels have history in the moto world, and the DTRe Stella has been styled by ex-Alta designer John McInnis in California. While working together in their home base of Cadaques, a little village near Barcelona, Philippe and Jeroen-Vincent used a vintage dirt bike for local shopping trips and spontaneous entertainment?and that?s where the idea for a ?clean dirt bike? came from.

The powertrain (and manufacture, apparently) is handled by the established Belgian manufacturer Saroléa, and the frame was designed by fellow Belgian Brice Hennebert?best known to readers as the man behind Workhorse Speed Shop.
The Stella comes in two versions: off-road only, or road-legal. It?s essentially a fun, light go-anywhere machine with a claimed top speed of 90 kph [55 mph] and weight of just 79 kg [174 lbs].
