Back in July, 2021, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme announced the formation of a brand-new racing series. The FIM E-Xplorer World Cup is an all-electric off-road racing series, with the intention to show that racing can be both fun and promote sustainability at the same time. The series was scheduled to launch in 2022, with a calendar of five events around the world to start.
It’s now April, 2022—and the FIM has refined its E-Xplorer World Cup plans just a bit since the initial announcement. At the time of writing, at least three E-Xplorer World Cup races are planned for its inaugural season, which will kick off in September, 2022. Up to 12 teams will compete in “head-to-head relay races on two-wheel all-terrain motorcycles propelled by 100 percent electric motors.”
