It’s taking some time, but gradually, electric motorcycles are making their way into motorsports. We’ve seen it in the rather successful FIM MotoE racing series, wherein Ducati is set to take the helm from Energica. In the world of off-road, too, electric dirt bikes are beginning to make their presence felt. They’ve been making their way to bigger, more prestigious racing series, too.
This time around, an electric motorcycle is set to participate in the grueling Scottish Six Days Trial. The bike comes from French company Electric Motion, and it’s the first time ever that an electric motorcycle will participate in the challenge. In charge of the company’s debut into the racing series, Matthew Alpe, the brand’s U.K. importer, as well as current e-trial world champion Gaël Chatagno, will try their luck with the electric trial bikes in the event slated for May, 2022.
