EICMA 2026: A wave of motorcycle and scooter launches in Milan
The Milan EICMA 2026 show, in early November, brought together a series of motorcycle, scooter and equipment presentations from European, Japanese and Chinese manufacturers, with a notable focus on electric powertrains and special series. Several Chinese brands (Benda, CFMoto, KOVE) unveiled models there and announced or prepared their arrival on the European market, while Honda presented a helmet and a new generation of SH350i. The side events show different national angles: Japan mainly covers Honda and Suzuki, Italy hosts and details the show's launches, and British or Chinese manufacturers also exhibit their novelties there. Coverage is particularly dense in Japan and India, more limited in Germany, without changing the international nature of the announcements.
