Motorcycle racing: Electric bikes visit RA
The series, known as TTXGP, touts itself as, "The zero carbon, clean emission grand prix."
Jeremy Burne, U.S. director of the series, said it's attracting fans from traditional racing circles and those who may have had an interest in technology but not necessarily in motorsports.
The series is quick to point out the electric motorcycles are no pushovers.
Quote from the article:
| "TTXGP electric motorcycles are not slow-moving scooters — they are '130 mph laptops on wheels,' fully connected with on-board Wi-Fi, the latest battery and motor technology, and imbued with the sprit of innovation that each individual team adds to the mix," press materials state. The TTXGP series is running on a weekend slate of races with the American Motorcycle Association's Suzuki SuperBike Doubleheader Weekend, which runs through Sunday. |
