Despite Alta Motors closing shop in October, 2018, electric motocrossers have been on the rise recently. In January, 2022, Stark Future reported that its Stark Varg electric dirt bike model reached 1,000 pre-sale orders in a 24-hour period. The FIM E-Xplorer World Cup will also commence in Q3 2022, pushing manufacturers and developers to continue evolving the technology.
In preparation for the new race series, development specialists Dohms partnered with electric mobility brand Eleo to produce a new electric powertrain based on Yamaha’s YZ-250F. The project will also receive support from Yamaha Europe and the Royal Dutch Motorcycle Association (KNMV).
