FIM E-Xplorer World Cup will start in the Summer racing inside cities and in off road terrain. It kiiinda looks like a mix between supermoto and enduro with only electric motos. Heat races, teams with 2 riders (1 male, 1 female) and 3 OEMs already signed up: emx powertrain, electric motion and mugen (honda???). I saw people saying the Volkswagen group could be working on this series too (I gueas they own ducati?).
I dont know. Sounds different. Its not Motocross, Road Racing, Speedway, Trial... its a weird mix. Im interested.
The creator of Formula-E/Extreme-E is also giving them support. Plus the FIM.

Theres ALSO an "e-scooter" championship to be released this year: https://official.esc.live/
Not sure about this one but Im always interested to see where "mobility" could be heading to...

It looks like the bike version of the Extreme-E car racing series

There is a whole mass of motorcycle riders out there that think this is dope and none of them are on Vital. So the reaction is likely to be skewed in a negative manner.

I'm neutral.

I love racing, all racing. I have always said "Put two turtles on a table and I'll watch 'em race"

So...I'll watch, I'll give it a try, but I am concerned about the quietness of it. I don't want it dead silent but I also don't want Lurch yelling at me the entire time.

Music? Metallica?

Fake engine noise generator (FENG) from the bikes?

That's the only part I can't wrap my little brain around, the silence.

So would it be pronounced Explorer, or E-Explorer?

Maybe a band can play music along with the racing

I’ve watched Formula E races, something just isn’t right. I wanted to like it and I couldn’t, stopped watching.

I really hope E-moto is better

There are multiple problems with Formula E.


Spec series means no development, nothing to dive into as an enthusiast.
The tracks are boring street tracks, a bit like all pro MX races would be on Vet tracks.
The cars lack performance in all areas.
The grid is not good enough to attract a bigger audience.

I see absolutely zero to like about this "series". At least Stark set out to build the fastest MX bike, not build an eBike. This is just ESG garbage.

Cool to see. I don't see the issue on people hating no engine noise. Look at the mountain biking events that people spectate
