EMX Powertrain writes history in FIM E-Xplorer World Cup
With the start of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup, a new class has emerged in which electric all-terrain motorcycles compete against each other in competition. The championship consists of 5 events, held on different terrains. During the first race in Barcelona, drivers Sandra Gomez and Jorge Zaragoza made history by winning the first ever race.
Their MIE Racing Electric team is participating in the first season of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup with electric dirt bikes from the Dutch EMX Powertrain. FIM E-Xplorer World Cup 2023 marks the start of this championship, in which 8 teams, each with a female and a male driver, will compete in a 5-race season to show what electric all-terrain motorcycles are capable of. During the season the championship visits Spain, Switzerland, France, the United States and Asia.
The competitions in the championship are held on various surfaces, making it clear per race which electric all-terrain motorcycle has the advantage in terms of concept. Two teams, one goal In addition to the Japanese MIE Racing Electric team that triumphed in Barcelona, the Australian FLAIR Riders team also uses the EMX XF30.
Each team is supported by EMX Powertrain engineers throughout the season. Participation in the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup is in line with EMX Powertrain's goal to develop new technologies for future products. The championship contributes to the ambition to take emission-free racing to a higher level, with attention to diversity and equality.
It is also a platform that shows the potential of electric racing and the quality of the participating engines. EMX XF30: ready for the start The Dutch EMX Powertrain has been working on the development of their fully electric dirt bike since 2018. Thanks to a collaboration with the Dutch motorcycle association KNMV, ELEO Technologies and Yamaha Motor Europe, they have created a platform in which the proven chassis of the Yamaha YZF is combined with a high-performance electric drivetrain. The EMX XF30 delivers 40hp and an impressive 720NM of torque thanks to the use of a 4500WH battery.
The next race of the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup will be held on June 24 in Crans-Montana.
