There's no denying it: November has been an eventful month for new scooters. 

From EICMA to Motorcycle Live, we've had no shortage of new models - but which of them are we most excited to see in 2026? 

So, without further ado, here are our top ten personal favourite scooters coming to the UK in 2026. 

 

 

Starting off the list is the Sym TTLBT, a kind of hybrid between a motorcycle and a scooter, much like the Honda X-ADV – just less ‘off-road’.

Powering the TTLBT is a liquid-cooled 508cc twin, making an A2-friendly 45hp and 50nm of torque, the same engine we find in the current Sym Maxsym TL 508. The TTLBT is undeniably a big scooter and has no official weight specs, but I can imagine it is going to be heavy, as most big capacity maxi scooters are.

Standard features on the Sym are 3 rider modes, Apple CarPlay on its 7-inch TFT screen, Bosch ABS and Traction Control, an electric screen, and let’s not forget to mention the heated grips and whopping storage space.

As you’ve probably noticed, the Sym comes with panniers which are 14.4L on one side and 13.6L on the other side, pair that with the 37L of under-seat storage and you’ve got a total of 65L storage space.

With spec like this, the Sym is in a great option if you're in the market for a tourer. 

In ninth place, we have an offering from TVS themselves. Not like the partnered F450GS or Norton’s, but TVS’ own brand this time –  in the form of their new electric M1-S scooter.

Coming with a 12.5kw motor capable of 65mph and a range of up to 93 miles, this scooter is set for launch in Europe at the end of 2026, being equipped with a 4.3kwh battery. It’s said to be a maxi scooter, so we should also expect maxi scooter levels of comfort and space, too.

In terms of looks, I think TVS has done a great job on this front. The angular design and twin LED headlights with DRLs almost has an edge of Italian about it, on what is quite clearly a scooter made to be more sporty, but we won’t know what it’s like to ride or how it will be priced until it hits our shores at the end of next year.

 

 

Keeping on theme with electric scooters and bringing us to eighth place, this year marks Zero Motorcycles’ first-ever scooter, aptly named the LS1.

In classic Zero style, the LS1 is simplistic and modern. There’s nothing shouty about it, but get’s the job done and for only £4,500 brand new too. It’s powered by two removable 1.86kwh batteries with the option for a third mounted under the seat to extend the range from 72 miles to a healthy 108 miles in the city.

If you use the on-board charger, though, the LS1 will get from 0% to 90% in just 4.5 hours, making it a great tool for commuting, especially within the city. Surprisingly, for a scooter at this price, Zero has fitted floating calipers and Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres on it, so you’ll be getting some proper kit, especially when you consider it has a 5-inch TFT display too.

 

Stepping away from electric, in seventh place today is an adventure scooter from Kymco named the X-TERA 350. Coming with a liquid-cooled single cylinder, it produces 28hp and 30nm of torque, plenty if you’re hitting the rough stuff.

It also comes with a 7-inch TFT, 32 litres of illuminated storage and both Bosch ABS and Traction Control. The design of the X-Tera also lends itself well to the adventure category with a taller front end suspended by gold upside down forks, wide handlebars, hand guards and grippy foot boards – it’s all very adventure and in a way kind of resembles a mini Honda X-ADV.

 

 

Taking sixth place today is the Yamaha TMAX 25th Anniversary. Built to celebrate 25 years of TMAX since its introduction in 2001, it gains a few nice upgrades, but you’ll have to hurry if you want one, as they’re only going to be available for one year.

Under the skin, it is the same well-loved TMAX Tech Max with its 7-inch TFT, Garmin navigation, stacks of tech and 562cc parallel twin making 47hp and 55nm of torque, except this model is inspired by the first TMAX special edition of 2006. 

Coming in an exclusive matt dark grey colour and contrasting red seat, this is accompanied by several other details such as the red badges, black machined wheels and my favourite bit – the TMAX 25th Anniversary logo on the startup screen. It’s all small things, but a shouty TMAX with bright colours and bits of unnecessary trim wouldn’t be in character, I think, so I reckon Yamaha has done a great job of this special edition, but you’ll have to be quick if you want one!

 

 

Sitting firmly in the middle at fifth place, we have yet another anniversary model in the form of the Vespa GTS 310 80th Anniversary edition, taking inspiration from the 1946 Vespa 98.

The colour has been plucked straight from the 1940s catalogue, too, and is called Verde Pastello with the entire bike being painted in it, just like the original, even down to the front suspension link and mirrors! 

It’s not all about a fancy paint job, however, as Vespa has also fitted some nicely designed wheels to echo the 1940s model and, naturally, painted those in Verde Pastello too. This is not all, though, as a darker green seat has also been fitted and a nice little ‘80th’ badge to round it off.

 

Fourth place brings us to a historic British brand originating from Yorkshire, and one that hasn’t been seen or heard about for some time. With only two dealers globally in Poland and Italy, Phelon & Moore state they are “coming soon to markets worldwide” on their Instagram, which marks some exciting new models if we see them here in the UK.

The Panthette X was seen at EICMA sporting a range of engines from 125cc to 250cc and 300cc at varying power outputs. The X variant is the off-road version of the Panthette family and looks to be a considerable bit of kit.

All engines are liquid-cooled single cylinders with the 125 producing 12hp, the 250 producing 16.5hp and the 300 making 17.5hp. They also all come with tubeless spoked wheels, semi off-road tyres, wide exposed handlebars with hand guards and gold upside-down forks.

Tech-wise, it comes with a 7-inch TFT display, heated grips and illuminated switchgear with the dash doubling up as a mirror for your phone screen, allowing for a variety of displays. The design doesn’t look too dissimilar to the Capetown adventure bikes they produce, either, so it definitely has the looks to go with the tech. I sure hope we will see Phelon & Moore back in the UK in 2026, as their lineup already looks promising.

 

Leading us into the top three and in third place, we have the Voge SR450X. With a 398cc liquid-cooled parallel twin, this scooter is capable of producing 43.5hp and 44nm of torque, and unlike a lot of adventure scooters released nowadays, the Voge actually has some proper kit on it.

With a large 17-inch spoked front wheel and a 14-inch rear wrapped around semi off-road Maxxis tyres, the SR450X also excels in its suspension department, with long travel KYB shocks and upside-down forks, not forgetting to mention the extensive crash bars that wrap around the front bodywork and additional twin set of rear footpegs for standing up off-road.

Whilst it’s clearly set up for varying terrain, it is also practical too, thanks to a lockable glove box, large under-seat compartment for two helmets, keyless ignition and standard 795mm seat height. It’s great to see manufacturers putting some proper effort into ADV scooters, so it’ll be interesting to see how it performs next year.

 

Only just missing out on the top spot this year is yet another ADV scooter from Aprilia, the SR GT 400. 

Unlike the Voge, the Aprilia is less off-road focused, making it more of a crossover between a road-biased machine and something like the SR450X we just talked about.

Power comes from a 400cc single cylinder producing a claimed 36hp and 28nm of torque, good for around 5 seconds 0-60, and despite its 12L fuel tank, Aprilia claim a range of around 186 miles, so it’s relatively efficient and practical too, given its ability to also store a helmet under the seat.

To keep up with its off-road appearance, it also has 120mm of suspension travel and 7.5 inches of ground clearance with semi off-road tyres and an optional rally replica livery inspired by the Tuareg 660. Price is to be confirmed, but it’s an exciting one to look forward to, for sure.

 

Last but not least, and in first place, is a bit of a mad creation from none other than Italjet. The model, specifically, is the new Dragster 459 Twin that, on initial appearance, is quite clear it’s not your conventional scooter like a Burgman, for example…

In terms of Italjet’s lineup, the 459 sits below the preexisting 700 twin, making a very A2-friendly 47 hp and 41nm of torque coming from its 449cc liquid-cooled twin. It’s also claimed to do around 68mpg.

The spec is also as mad as it looks, with Marzocchi suspension featuring front and rear alongside Akrapovic exhausts and Italjet’s SmartShift automatic transmission, allowing for either manual or automatic configurations. 

There’s also some MotoGP-inspired tech on it, too, as if it wasn’t already impressive enough with ISAS meaning Italjet Stiffness Adjustment System allowing for the fine tuning of the rear suspension. All clever stuff.

Surprisingly, the price has already been mentioned with an estimated retail price of around £8,700 when it gets to us, like the others, it will be interesting to see how this performs when it hits our shores.

So there we have it, another year and another EICMA.
