The first ever "carbon free" motorcycle race was held earlier this month, and it seem that it was a complete success. The Isle of Man hosted the all electric field for the TTXGP. While these bikes don't have the incredible performance of today's gas powered motorcycles they did a respectable job of showcasing what electric motorcycles are capable of. Team Agni won the race using with bike based on a GSX-R600, and around 50kw motor. The bike averaged about 87mph on the course.An entire series is being developed for electric bikes by the FIM. This new series could begin as soon next year.
