MotoE™: racing forward through innovation

Posted on Apr 21, 2020 by MotoGP™

Competition may be on pause for the moment, but there is also plenty to look forward to in the next season of the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup. A number of exciting additions can now be announced as MotoE™ continues to push boundaries, with the competition sure to get even closer once we're back on track.

MORE SPEED
The first MotoE™ test of the season took place last month at Jerez, and laptimes were already noteworthy. A second and a half quicker than in 2019, the difference is created by some impressive steps forward, including:

- Increased torque from the Energica Ego Corsa

- New Michelin® tyres, including a rear tyre enhanced thanks to previous experience in MotoGP™

- Improved front fork setup

BETTER ENDURANCE
2019 was an impressive first season for the Cup, but innovation remains a constant charge forward. MotoE™ can now count on:

- New bike chargers provided by Enel X, set to be introduced at the next event

- Race distances increased by one lap, as bikes can now be charged on the grid after the sighting lap

- New battery cooling system allowing riders to enjoy full power for longer sessions, more often

CALENDAR
The ongoing coronavirus outbreak has resulted in a number of changes to the calendar but as previously stated, racing is Dorna Sports’ top priority in 2020. That certainly includes the FIM Enel MotoE™ World Cup, as we reaffirm our commitment to the FIM, IRTA and World Cup partners.

The calendar will run in parallel to that of MotoGP™, with the principal aim of seeing the Cup compete at a number of Grands Prix in Europe.
