Zero Motorcycles joins 2010 TTXGP series

Zero Motorcycles has announced it’ll be joining Team Agni and CRP Racing next year in the TTXGP’s electric motorcycle racing series, eGrandPrix. That’s big news for the TTXGP, giving them and not the FIM e-Power series one of the industry’s leading innovators and biggest names. It’s expected that Zero will be using a Mavizen TTX02 (read KTM RC8) chassis equipped with their own batteries and motors. We also expect to see some sort of streamlined dust bin fairing on the bike, the last time we spoke to the company’s founder, Neal Saiki, he speculated that such equipment was the best way for electrics to win races. Look for other major players in the electric motorcycle world to announce their participation in eGrandPrix in the coming weeks. The first eGrandPrix race takes place at Infineon in California next May.  >
