Attending CES 2026 in Las Vegas made it clear that artificial intelligence is redefining the motorcycle experience. Ultraviolette showcased its F77 electric motorcycle featuring Violette, an onboard AI voice assistant co-developed with SoundHound AI. This system enables riders to switch modes, launch navigation, run pre-ride diagnostics, and receive proactive maintenance alerts-all through voice commands. The integration of AI into motorcycles is transforming riding by analyzing traffic conditions, optimizing suspension settings, and providing real-time route recommendations to enhance safety and performance. While some purists worry that technology might dilute the thrill, innovations like predictive maintenance and accident prevention prove that AI can make motorcycling smarter and more efficient without sacrificing its essence.
Major advancements in the electric motorcycle category were also showcased.
What do you think about electric two-wheelers? Is AI the next big revolution for motorcycles?
