In August 2023, the concept of electric motorcycles racing isn’t a new one—and that’s partly to do with the relatively young Energica Motor Company. Based in Modena, Italy, Energica made it clear from the start that it wanted to combine performance and design into an unforgettable package with its bikes.
By 2018, the company’s international profile grew as it was selected by MotoGP promoter Dorna as the one and only manufacturer to provide bikes to the entire Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) Enel MotoE World Cup, more commonly referred to as MotoE. The all-new, all-electric support series was planned to begin racing during select European stops on the MotoGP calendar during the 2019 season.
