FIM Creating Electric Bike Race Series for 2010

Following the success of the TTXGP race held on the Isle of Man on June 12, the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) has decided to create a FIM Series for electric bikes in 2010.

The FIM says the new series is to provide an international platform for the development of electric bikes and the technology behind them. "It aims at driving low-carbon technological innovation forward, to demonstrate that clean-emission transport technologies have matured and can be fun, fast and exciting," the organization announced in a prepared statement.

“The future of the sport depends on our capacity as well as that of the manufacturers to innovate quickly," says FIM President Vito Ippolito.
