UK’s new electric motorcycle to challenge world record

The WMC250EV is an electric motorcycle presented at Silverstone Circuit as the first work by British motorcycle maker White Motorcycle Concepts.

The motorcycle was unveiled a few months ago with the ambition to break the top speed record for electric motorcycles set by Voxan Wattman of 408 km/h. The biggest feature is that a huge wind hole penetrates from the nose to the tail of the motorcycle. This hole is a patent-pending V-Air that reduces the air resistance generated by the body by 70% and helps to support the front wheel to the ground with 5 times the force of a normal motorcycle. This structure is also possible because the internal combustion engine does not need to be fixed to the frame and is an electric motorcycle that can place the heavy powertrain and battery in a low position. In addition, the rider is completely integrated with the motorcycle over the motorcycle.

This motorcycle is equipped with two 30kW motors on the rear wheels and two 20kW motors on the front wheels, all in the form of 100kW, or 134 horsepower AWD. It is said that it is possible to obtain the effect of increasing the ground support by providing driving force to the front wheels. It has a length of 2.44 m and a wheelbase of 1800 mm. It is equipped with a 15kW lithium-ion battery, and most parts are made of carbon or aluminum. It weighs about 300 kg.

The manufacturer aims to use this product to break the electric motorcycle speed record set by Wattman within the next year. Related information can be found here.
