They do need to if the class is to gain any interest from the sport. In MotoE, they are restricted to seven laps of a c.3 mile circuit. After one run up the Mountain the bikes are struggling for battery capacity, even the Mugens if things don't go to plan. It's one thing sacrificing speed for endurance but that is the problem, it's not racing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Maybe Daffy could comment on the panorama mining cobalt programme as she’s our green tsar, certainly puts the whole green eco car thing into a different perspective. I get a little fed up of the middle classes hijacking climate change. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An electric production road bike with slightly higher battery from today would have a crack at the existing lap record. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Everything is going swimmingly according to the Clerk of the Course who was on Manx Radio at lunchtime, no problems at all, 600 Marshalls being recruited here and away , training given on both sides of the water, the D.O.I are on board, hot line open to them with frequent reports how the mountain road is being sorted. A local rider is zipping around the course a couple of times a week assessing problems which are being fast tracked to the D.O.I. for attention. It is great, it is happening, razz Le dazzle was on top form. What a total load of bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure really, the range drops dramatically when they get pushed hard, MotoE at the cutting edge hasn't seen an increase in range as yet?

Currently, the battery is so large that it is part of the structural integrity of some of these machines. Could always swap to a second machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
