Title: Electric Motocross Racing
Post by: tyskmoped on June 25, 2015, 11:59:51 AM: Hello,

I want to introduce our project. The idea was to build an electric powered bike to compete with gasoline bikes here in Germany in a local racing series. Tooked us about 1.5 years to be at the current status but it is stil a long way to go.
Before I forget the most impartant, I want to thank you everyone involved directly or not, everyone in this and the other ev-communities, every employee of companies working in this sector - without you, there would be no base to work from.

I will be writing more about it later when I find time and try to answer all questions if possible.

You can find the website of this project here: http://www.e-mxm.com (http://www.e-mxm.com)

Have a nice day.

This looks great. I'm not a rider myself yet (waiting for e-bikes to get a bit more affordable), but I've been waiting anxiously for someone to put the FX drivetrain in a bike that's more robust. With the motocross crowd, when e bikes start winning major competitions that's when they'll be taken seriously, and this looks like a great step toward that goal.
