Title: Zero wins race in eSuperStock category at TTXGP
Post by: manlytom on May 07, 2012, 06:46:05 AM
OK, Zero wins, coz it was all Zero's ... confirms they are here and have well working stock bikes that can even be raced.

Zero is racing at the TTXGP electric motorcycle racing series in the eSuperStock category. This means they race standard production bikes ! and for this the lap times are great ! see below for more.

They raced the Zero for 17 minutes - anyone knows the lap/race distance ? Wondering as well how many "bars" left at the end of the race and keen to get their controller settings downloaded.

What I would like to know is what modifications were made to some of the Zero bikes in the Superstock race - and if any of those modifications could be made by us lowly owners to our bikes.   ;D

Oh yeah. The only reason I'm waiting for the warranty to run out :)

The interesting part was that the Zeros were only about 15 or 16 seconds slower than the Lightning bikes, which had enough power to wheelie out of turns.

It sure was a tough weekend for the Brammo team, though, and their two riders.
