Speed record for an electric motorcycle: more than 200 mph


Recommended Posts

Posted

Montesa-Honda has unveiled this teaser photo, very obscured (here we have lit it) of its sportiest trial motorcycle, the new Cota 301RR 2020, the base of the motorcycle with which Toni Bou will have to compete next season.

Montesa-Honda has not given us more details or other photos, only the announcement that next October 13 will be presented, during the Montesada to be held in Tona (Barcelona) and all the technical details will be provided.

We will have to wait a month yet, then, to see them with details and know more about it, although it looks excellent, that's for sure.

Almost 330 km / h (specifically, 204,629 mph) reached the electric motorbike of Mobitec's Japanese team on the salty lake of Bonneville (Utah, USA), clearly exceeding the previous record of 181.608 mph (292 km / h) , established in 2011 by Chip Yates.

Mobitec already made an attempt to beat the previous Yates record last year, although its pilot, Kaz Mazutani, crashed in the 2018 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials suffering several injuries, luckily without much gravity.

Now, his Japanese compatriot Ryuhji Tsurata, replacing the still injured Mazutani, has achieved a better record of 204,629 mph (328 km / h), comfortably exceeding the 181,608 mph achieved in 2011.
