One of the sustainable motor racing categories that has generated impact since its announcement is the FIM E-Xplorer World Cup, as the mix of electrification with high-caliber motorcycles, demanding rural and urban scenarios and top-level riders will make way for a new series of purposeful races.
Months and months of preparation finally paid off after weeks of successful completion of the first free test runs. Now, the next step towards the long-awaited debut has been the official unveiling of the season 1 calendar.
Through an official press release, FIM E-Xplorer World Cup announced that the first campaign of the 100% electric off-road motorcycle category will consist of six races spread across three continents, all with the backing of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
