Sitting in the grandstand, you wait for the race to begin.
Your heart starts to race. The lineup of machines ahead of you, the tension slowly filling the track.
But there’s something missing.
There’s no thunderous roar shaking your chest.
Instead, only the sharp, high-pitched sound of electric motors slicing through the air reaches your ears.
What’s going on?
That’s right. This is nothing like the motorcycle races you’ve known before.
This is a new era of racing—one driven not by smoke, but by electricity.
Welcome to MotoE: a new grid for high-performance electric motorcycles.
Once, internal combustion motorcycles dominated the racing scene, roaring with engine noise and the scent of fuel.
But now, the cutting edge of the motorcycle racing world is being defined by silent yet powerful electric machines.
And leading this transformation is the MotoE class of MotoGP..
At the Cutting Edge of Technology: MotoE
MotoE is the electric motorcycle class within the MotoGP series.
It began in 2019, with Energica supplying the race bikes from 2019 to 2022. Now, Ducati has taken over, supplying its exclusive electric race bike—the V21L—and driving the competition into a new era of innovation.
The Ducati V21L is a beast of a machine, equipped with an electric motor producing 150 horsepower (around 110kW), capable of hitting speeds up to 275 km/h, and powered by an 18kWh battery.
Because the entire race must be completed on a single charge, battery efficiency and advanced cooling systems are absolutely vital to success.
Despite weighing around 225kg, the V21L takes full advantage of electric motor torque, providing agile and immediate response even during high-speed cornering.
MotoE isn’t just about racing—it’s a testbed for technologies that could soon make their way into production models.
This makes MotoE far more than just “racing with electric bikes.”
Its mission aligns with the motorsport industry’s shift toward carbon neutrality.
The battery, inverter, and cooling technologies proven on the track will eventually find their way into consumer models.
In other words, today’s race-tested innovations could power your daily commute tomorrow.
MotoE shows us that electric motorcycle racing is more than just entertainment—it’s a demonstration of how clean energy and cutting-edge tech can create something extraordinary.
The Era of Electric Motorcycles Has Already Begun
Whether in Korea or abroad, the electric two-wheeler market is expanding rapidly.
Urban noise regulations, zero-emission zones, and the rising cost of fuel are accelerating the adoption of electric motorcycles.
And now, people no longer assume electric means “slow.”
As MotoE proves, electric motorcycles are fast, quiet, and incredibly powerful..
The Electric Era: We Are Ready
If MotoE is proving the potential of electric motorcycles to racing fans around the world,
e3 Mobility has taken things a step further—proving that potential on the race track with a mass-produced vehicle.
In 2024, e3 Mobility’s DEUX7 competed in the electric scooter class at Indonesia’s premier Scooter Prix.
Under the same racing conditions, DEUX7 demonstrated stable performance and fast throttle response, leaving a lasting impression on local racers and officials.
This isn’t just a prototype—it’s a race-proven electric scooter platform.
That’s why we can confidently introduce DEUX7 to the electric mobility market.
If MotoE proves the technology,
DEUX7 brings it to life.
Experience the new standard in electric two-wheelers—today.
