DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (November 20, 2025) – AMA Pro Racing announced today its 16-round schedule for the 2026 Progressive American Flat Track season. Fresh off one of the most compelling Grand National Championships in recent memory, the series is leaning into what made the '25 campaign great and building upon that momentum via some spectacular additions, including new events, venues, classes, and initiatives.
 
The 2026 season will again launch with a string of five successive Short Tracks, delivering another fast, unpredictable opening to the championship. The run begins during DAYTONA Bike Week with the Royal Enfield Short Track at DAYTONA, back-to-back nights of AFT Nationals at Daytona International Speedway, with the opening round on Thursday, March 5. 
 
However, the excitement actually arrives in earnest a day earlier, with the launch of the Road to AFT and the first of seven Mission Foods CTR Showcase Events held in conjunction with American Flat Track Nationals. Operated by Cory Texter Race Promotions, these AMA-sanctioned events will showcase amateur flat track racing on the day prior to select Progressive AFT Nationals. This strategic alliance around the Road to AFT will anchor the sport's talent pipeline in premium amateur racing events and provide a clear path from amateur to pro competition.

The AFT AdventureTrackers™ class returns with an expanded slate for 2026. The quick success of the production-based class found immediate support from motorcycle manufacturers and paved the way for an all-new category: AFT StreetTrackers™. Built around lightly-modified, production-based twin-, triple-, and four-cylinder motorcycles, the new class draws inspiration from the sport's Class C roots by creating a clear, retail-connected platform for motorcycle manufacturers and dealers to re-engage with the sport.
 
"These additions are intended to realign the sport with the core principles that powered the growth and success of the Grand National Championship for decades," said Gene Crouch, CEO of AMA Pro Racing. "The Road to AFT reestablishes the critical link between amateur and pro, reinvigorating the feeder system for the professional ranks. The introduction of AFT StreetTrackers will open marketing lanes for the motorcycle industry to invest in the sport with clear, measurable ROI. The 2026 schedule will be a showcase for what the sport truly is: the authentic American motorcycle racing product built on Class C values: approachability, availability and affordability."
 
Along with the series' annual stops at such storied events as the Lima Half-Mile and the 79th Peoria TT, the 2026 calendar includes a pair of novel entries. On Saturday, May 16, the fabled Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland, will host ThrottleFest, a combined moto-and-music festival with four days of motorcycle racing. Featuring pro-am hair scrambles, motocross, endurocross, pit bike racing and Progressive American Flat Track headlining the show, ThrottleFest will set a new gold standard in two-wheel entertainment.
 
On Saturday, June 6, the series makes its long-awaited return to Tennessee with the inaugural Nashville Short Track at Billy Lane's Tennessee National Raceway. The event will also host the public debut of the Northern Tool + Equipment Legends Build: Student Challenge motorcycle—a nine-month project where high school CTE students are transforming a 2025 Harley-Davidson Nightster into an XR750-inspired flat track racer under the mentorship of Scott Parker, Chris Carr, Kenny Coolbeth Jr., Billy Lane, and other icons of the sport.
 
The Triple Challenge—AFT's escalating endurance and points-intensity format—returns after its 2025 debut. The format will be featured at the opening night of the Lima Half-Mile doubleheader on Friday, June 26, and again at Springfield Mile I on Saturday, September 5. Each race increases in distance, difficulty, and points value, testing riders' race-craft and stamina.
 
The Springfield Mile Doubleheader on Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6, will again close the season, restoring the sport's crown jewel as the decisive weekend for the Grand National Championship.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The electric two wheeler market is projected to grow from USD 4.78 billion in 2025 to USD 9.71 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 10.6%., according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets™.

The shift from hub motors to mid-drive systems in performance electric two-wheelers is gaining momentum, offering improved weight distribution, higher torque efficiency, and greater suspension design flexibility. This transition aligns with advancements in battery architecture and electronic systems that enhance overall vehicle performance and reliability. OEMs are increasingly adopting LFP battery packs in commuter scooters for better safety and longer cycle life, while using NMC or NCA packs in performance motorcycles to achieve higher energy density and optimal range-to-weight ratios. Manufacturers are also introducing split or modular battery layouts to enable easier maintenance, flexible range options, and compatibility with battery swapping networks. Advanced battery management systems (BMS) now feature cell balancing, thermal mapping, and state-of-health analytics to support predictive maintenance and optimize charging performance across varied operating conditions. These innovations are reshaping the electric two-wheeler landscape, enabling higher performance, safety, and scalability across both commuter and premium segments.

Above 100-mile electric scooters and motorcycles are expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

The above 100-mile electric scooters and motorcycles are expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. They address one of the key barriers to electric two-wheeler adoption, range anxiety, and bring performance closer to that of ICE counterparts. Consumers who ride longer daily commutes or occasional longer trips increasingly expect more than city-only range, so models capable of 100+ miles offer greater flexibility and convenience.

Technological advancements in battery energy density, motor efficiency, and thermal management are making higher-range models more affordable and feasible, shifting them from a premium niche to broader segments. Additionally, fleet and delivery operators, who value uptime and fewer charge cycles, are likely to favor higher-range models to minimize downtime and infrastructure dependency. With governments and OEMs pushing electrification of two-wheelers, vehicles offering 100+ miles become a distinguishing product layer, accelerating their share growth. Vehicle models such as Ola Electric's S1 series electric scooters, Gogoro 2 Premium, Gogoro 2 Utility, Zero DS, and Zero S come with a range of above 100 miles. For instance, in October 2025, BBM Motorcycles launched the BBM Hiro, offering a range of 220 km (136 miles) on a single charge.

Lithium-ion batteries are expected to lead the electric two wheeler market.

Lithium-ion batteries are expected to dominate the electric two wheeler market due to their higher energy density compared to lead-acid or nickel-metal hydride batteries. This enables longer-range and lighter vehicles, making them more appealing to both individual riders and fleet operators. Their longer lifespan and lower maintenance needs also reduce the total cost of ownership, which is especially important in the price-sensitive two-wheeler segment. As battery pack prices continue to fall due to large-scale production and advances in cell chemistry, lithium-ion batteries are becoming the preferred choice for both OEMs and retrofit applications, accelerating market adoption. In addition, these batteries support faster charging and more compact designs, which are ideal for urban commuting, ride-sharing, and delivery services. Regulatory policies promoting emission reduction and urban electrification are further boosting demand for electric two-wheelers powered by lithium-ion technology. With these advantages, lithium-ion batteries are set to lead the market. Manufacturers are increasingly integrating lithium-ion battery packs, while declining costs per kWh are shortening the payback periods for electric scooters. At the same time, improvements in BMS and safety features are addressing challenges related to thermal management and durability. For instance, in September 2025, Honda introduced its first electric motorcycle, the "Honda WN7," in Europe. The model is equipped with a fixed lithium-ion battery and offers an estimated range of more than 130 km (83 miles).

Europe is expected to grow at a significant rate in the electric two wheeler market during the forecast period.

Europe is expected to lead the electric two wheeler market, driven by strict emission regulations that encourage both consumers and manufacturers to adopt cleaner mobility solutions. Many European cities are introducing low-emission zones and congestion charges, making compact electric two-wheelers a practical and appealing option for daily commuting. Governments in major markets such as Italy, France, Germany, and Spain are supporting this shift through incentives, tax benefits, and purchase subsidies that reduce the upfront cost of electric two-wheelers. The region also benefits from a strong manufacturing base, with established brands such as BMW Motorrad, Piaggio, and Ducati actively expanding into electric models, strengthening local innovation and supply chains. Additionally, the rise of shared mobility and last-mile delivery services in densely populated cities is increasing the use and visibility of electric two-wheelers. With growing consumer focus on affordability, sustainability, and convenience, Europe is well-positioned for significant growth in this market. In October 2025, Infinite Machine (US) made its European debut with two models, the flagship P1 electric scooter and the compact Olto moped. The P1 features a stainless-steel body, a top speed of 105 km/h, a city range of 100 km, and a 6 kW motor (12kW peak). The Olto is a weatherproof L1e-class moped offering a 60 km range, a top speed of 45 km/h, and a hot-swappable battery for convenient charging.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII), announced it is donating more than $135,000 to off-road vehicles (ORV), all-terrain vehicles (ATV), and snowmobile riding clubs and organizations across the United States and Canada as part of their TRAILS GRANTS program. For nearly two decades, Polaris' TRAILS GRANTS program has supported organizations and programs that promote safe and responsible riding, facilitate trail preservation, and help protect the environment and natural resources that are a part of the off-road trail systems.

Awarded twice annually, Polaris TRAILS GRANTS support the efforts of nonprofit organizations and local riding clubs who use the grant for trail development, maintenance projects and safety and responsible riding education initiatives.

"Local riding clubs and organizations are the backbone of the off-road community, dedicating countless hours to maintaining trails, promoting safe riding practices, and building community," said Reid Wilson, President of Off-Road Vehicles, Polaris. "These grassroots organizations bring so much energy to the sport and our TRAILS GRANTS program is one of our ways to say thank you. We're proud to help them keep the ride going."

Awarded twice annually, Polaris TRAILS GRANTS support the efforts of nonprofit organizations and local riding clubs who use the grant for trail development, maintenance projects, safety and responsible riding education initiatives, and other projects. In April, Polaris awarded 13 organizations Spring TRAILS GRANTS, making the combined donation amount for 2025 more than $255,000.

"LPFA is looking forward to getting some much-needed work done on the Yellowjacket OHV Trail. Thanks to funding from Polaris, we will be able to build sustainable creek crossings to improve trail conditions for riders, as well as protect wildlife in these sensitive riparian areas," said Addison Jerlow, program manager, Los Padres Forest Association. "This funding provides a crucial first step in managing this trail for years to come."

"We're incredibly grateful to Polaris for their generous support of avalanche safety in the motorized community in Utah. This grant helps us expand our education and awareness programs for the motorized community, one of the groups most at risk in avalanche terrain," said Kate Waller, development director, Utah Avalanche Center. "As more riders explore the backcountry, we must continue to provide accessible, relevant avalanche forecasting and safety information, as well as training."
