“MotoE BEING PART OF MotoGP IS AS IF FORMULA E WAS PART OF FORMULA ONE ”
NICOLAS GOUBERT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR , MotoE
“ The brand has been there for many years and is very famous in racing . It has always been involved with petrol-engine bikes .
“ For Ducati , the clear objective is to develop their know-how to put electric bikes on the market in the short term . Short term meaning they don ’ t exactly know whether it will be four , five , even six years .”
TAKING SUSTAINABLE MOTORCYCLES GLOBAL
Sustainable motorsports are gaining traction among sustainability-conscious spectators , but MotoE is not like other motorsports . Dorna Sports aims for electric motorcycle racing to focus more on the racing spectacle and formatting the race around the machine .
What this means for the fans is a 15-minute burst of excitement from fully charged electric motorcycles , which has been strategically organised to allow riders to fight to the very end . This retains the true essence of motorcycle daredevilry while showcasing Dorna Sports ’ sustainable partnerships , including that of Enel X — the provider of sustainable mobile power solutions to charge the bikes .
