Electric bike chases world speed record
A powerful electric motor and innovative aerodynamics are expected to help a British engineering company achieve a world speed record of more than 400km/h (250mph) for a motorcycle.
The bike will have emissions and economy implications for current and future electric and conventionally-powered motorcycles.
White Motorcycle Concepts has unveiled its prototype motorcycle which company founder and Chief Executive Officer Rob White will ride in attempts to break the British and world electric land speed records over the next 12 months.
It features three innovative technologies.
The company’s ultra-low drag system called V-Air has a large duct at the centre of the bike which forces air through the vehicle, rather than around it.
V-Air reduces the WMC250EV’s aerodynamic resistance by as much as 70% compared to that of the market-leading high performance road bike according to the results of wind-tunnel testing at MIRA.
Aerodynamics of the bike and the rider are the biggest drain on motorcycle power and efficiency.
Australian Triple8 racing engineer Jeromy Moore says it is difficult for motorcycles to match a car’s aerodynamics, because they are too short.
“With aero, it will be hard to get a bike’s cD down as it is quite short so the air has to deflect at larger angles to go around and rejoin,” he says.
It seems the V-Air duct may have overcome this issue, especially with the rider tucked behind the fairing as in the above photo.
The duct also increases the axial load on the front of the motorcycle allowing the WMC250EV utilise a D-Drive motor unit that powers the front wheel, which in-turn makes it possible to harness regenerative braking energy – something unachievable with a conventional motorcycle. The third innovation, F-Drive final drive system, could filter down to your own motorcycle.
It is designed to give the bike a boost in power and enhance efficiency.
The WMC250EV high-speed demonstrator has been more than two years in the making and has already been granted a UK patent and expects Europe, the USA and Japan to follow suit by the end of August.
If adopted by major manufacturers, these British devised technologies have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions across the industry and accelerate the mass-market de-carbonisation of motorcycles globally.
White, who has more than 25 years’ experience of world championship level motorsport, including Formula 1 and Le Mans, initially conceived his idea for V-Air six years ago, but it was exposure to Formula 1 packaging and sports car aerodynamics that gave him the confidence to pursue it seriously.
Having formed WMC in 2019, White reached into his network of contacts gained through his career.
Rob Lewis MBE, the owner of Total Sim and a global leader in sports aerodynamics, recognised V-Air’s potential and supported the project through the initial proof of concept.
The Northamptonshire company began developing the all-carbon fibre WMC250EV High Speed Demonstrator to F1 standards of design specification, component-packaging and technology with the ambition to test its potential to the highest standard.
“If you want to demonstrate to the rest of the world that you’ve just invented a new aerodynamic concept that means you can go faster for a given power, the best thing to do is go as fast you can,” Rob says.
“That’s why we created WMC250EV high-speed demonstrator, the most radical version of this concept, to challenge for the world land speed record. It is electric, as that is the pre-eminent zero emissions power source at the moment, but as the aerodynamic concept provides efficiency benefit, it could just as easily be hydrogen or any other future power source.”
The concept’s more wide-reaching implication is the impact it could have on vehicular energy efficiency, leading to better fuel economy and lower emissions.
“The records are all champagne, but are actually the insignificant part of the story,” Rob says.
“While this technology allows you to go faster, it also allows you to go much further for the same amount of energy. This has a direct and tangible benefit on CO2 reduction. Market-disruptive ideas like this are uncommon, and if successful, have the potential to revolutionise industry.”
WMC is already working on a real-world application for the innovation and is producing a 300cc three-wheel hybrid scooter – the WMC300FR – that includes V-Air technology and reduces drag by 25%.
That equates to 18% improvement in fuel efficiency, from aerodynamic improvements alone and when coupled with a small hybrid system enhances the performance to somewhere near 500cc levels, but with 50% less CO2 emissions.
“What we’ve managed to do is create something for the world market sector where people can use these vehicles in a city where the population is most effected by CO2 output and pollution – and we’ve managed to cut CO2 by 50% through aerodynamics and hybridisation,” Rob says.
The land speed record programme meanwhile is fully underway, with shakedowns continuing through the summer and an attempt on the Motorcycle Electric Semi Streamliner British Record planned for later on this year.
Then the focus for WMC switches to the world’s largest salt flat, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, where Rob will attempt to set a new mark for the Electric Semi Streamliner World Record in July 2022.
“What started off as some sketches of an idea I was pondering, has become an initiative that can potentially change the motorcycle industry,” he says.
“I’ve always loved speed, and motorcycles. The challenge of breaking the world record satisfies a tenacity to achieve great things. But more importantly, it’s the perfect way to practically demonstrate that the theory behind this technology works.
“There are other record attempts running concurrently that have superstar riders and talismanic leaders fronting the projects, but for me and WMC the star is the technology. It’s a product of British engineering ingenuity and it has a real potential to disrupt the industry in a very positive way, becoming an important step towards the mass manufacture of non-fossil fuelled motorcycles, another milestone on the road to a zero-emission future.
“The company’s ambitions are great, and we aim to constantly produce high level engineering with environmental responsibility at its core, reducing carbon emissions throughout the entire motorcycle market from design and manufacture to end use.”

Honda and KTM lead on safety recalls
The first half of 2021 has witnessed a significant number of motorcycle safety recalls with Honda and KTM the most prolific.
In the first quarter of 2021, there were 13 recalls, but the rate accelerated in May with 10 recalls and two in June, bringing the first half total to 25.
Perhaps as riders are coming out of lockdown around the world and riding again, they are discovering issues with their bikes which result in official recall notices.
KTM Australia has issued nine recalls, although some have been for the same issues across all the brands they import which also includes GasGas and Husqvarna.
Honda follows with nine recall notices. Its most recent affects 2981 motorcycles and covers an extensive range from the Grom to the 650 models.
Ducati and Yamaha had three recalls in the first half of the year, BMW, Kawasaki and Suzuki had two each and Triumph had one.
The latest official safety recall notices, issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, are for 2020 BMW S 1000 RR and various Honda models.
Honda’s notice says the reflex reflector may not comply with the Australian Design Rule (ADR) 47 for reflection luminosity.
“If the reflector has insufficient luminosity, affected motorcycles may be less visible to drivers of other vehicles, which could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death of the rider and/or other road users,” the notice says.
Models affected are:
- 2019 GROM(L) Z125M (pictured top of page)
- 2019-21 CB500X, CB650R, CBR500R and CBR650R
- 2020 C125AL, CRF250L-LA and CRF250R (Rally)
- 2021 CB500F and CMX500A2
- 2019-21 CMX500A
The BMW S 1000 RR notice says the screw plug in the rocker arm was not sufficiently tightened during manufacturing.
“As a result, oil may leak from the affected bolting points,” the notice says.
“An oil leak may affect the rear tyre. If this occurs it will result in a reduction in traction for the wheel and increase the risk of an accident resulting in injury or death to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.”
Owners of affected bikes should contact their dealer and arrange for a free inspection and repair if needed.
Even though manufacturers and importers usually contact owners when a recall is issued, the bike may have been sold privately to a rider unknown to the company.
Therefore, Motorbike Writer publishes all motorcycle and scooter recalls as a service to all riders.
If you believe there is an endemic problem with your bike that should be recalled, contact the ACCC on 1300 302 502.

Energica Teams With Mavel On Lighter, More Powerful Motor
Dubbed the EMCE, Energica’s new motor was supposed to debut in 2022.
Begin press release:
Energica Motor Company S.p.A., leading company of high-performing electric motorcycle, presents EMCE, the new electric motor created in co-engineering with the Italian company Mavel. Since its inception, the Modena manufacturer has focused on the creation of technologically advanced motorcycles. The skills of Energica Motor Company S.p.A. have led it to become single manufacturer of the FIM Enel MotoE
World Cup championship.
The name of the new EMCE motor is the acronym of Energica Mavel Co-Engineering and was born as a direct expression of the mentality of the Modenese motorcycle manufacturer, which every year focuses on technological innovation and the improvement of already high technological performance.
Mavel is a research, development and production company specializing in the electronics and automation sector based in Point-Saint-Martin, in the Valle D’Aosta, in a former hydro-electric power plant. As evidence of the great competence of Mavel, it is important to note that the company collaborates with the main international OEMs operating in the automotive sector, but with Energica makes its debut in the two-wheeled sector.

The new Powertrain will in fact be used exclusively on the entire Energica range.
“Innovation is the main strength of our technical department which, together with Mavel, has found the perfect collaboration to push the limits of current technology, further improving an already high-performing product.” Says Giampiero Testoni, CTO of Energica Motor Company S.p.A.
“The introduction on the market of the new EMCE engine was scheduled for release in 2022, but following the difficulties of our supply chain – due to the global pandemic situation – we decided to anticipate this timing and instead, in just 6 months we have developed this co-engineering with Mavel, into our current model year production.”
“Progress is what drives us to look beyond, all for the benefit of our end customers. We are proud to place a major new technological advance in the Electric Valley that, day after day, we are building with so much commitment and passion.”
The technological collaboration that characterized the co-engineering between Energica Motor Company S.p.A. and Mavel is directed to the search for solutions that optimize the efficiency of the system. Among the main advantages that contribute to improving the performance of the motor and inverter we find:
– Innovative rotor and stators’ geometries that minimize energy losses and maximize performance. The uniformity of the torque delivered and the optimization of the weights make the engine unique in terms of power and torque density and allow the optimization of production processes;
– Innovative and patented cooling of the rotor capable of generating an internal flow of air that laps the magnets and cools them. This allows the engine to exploit its potential even at high speeds;
– Adaptive control algorithms that ensure that the inverter is always able to operate the system as efficiently as possible;
– Patented sensors capable, among other things, of collecting and storing the operating data of the motor to predict the onset of any mechanical failure.
Thanks to the new EMCE motor, peak power increases to 126 kW at 8,500 rpm and with a liquid-cooling method that guarantees greater performance, Energica motorcycles will now be lighter by 10 kg, with a relative increase in range of 5-10% according to riding style.

Liquid cooling allows for better thermal conditioning of the motor and inverter, which translates into the ability to work with greater torque and power density which, even with a smaller in volume and lighter motor, leads to greater acceleration. Among perceptions in riding an Energica motorcycle with an EMCE engine, we find above all an improvement in handling. The transition from oil cooling to liquid cooling, present in the EMCE motor, is further demonstration of the technological advances which, year after year, contribute to the successes of Energica Motor Company S.p.A.
As Livia Cevolini, CEO of Energia Motor Company S.p.A. has pointed out, “We constantly receive messages of appreciation from our customers and this is why we continue to advance and develop in order to maintain our edge over all others. And it’s our determination to keep this edge into the future.”
The localization process implemented by Energica Motor Company S.p.A. now finds maximum expression with the EMCE project. In this way, the Modena-based company aims to enhance its “Made in Italy” engineering and have a positive effect on a supply chain situation.
Thanks to local production in Italy, it becomes possible for Energica to shorten the timeline for motors and avoid future delays in the supply chain, demonstrating how the company is able to respond promptly and proactively to difficulties arising from external factors. The EMCE engine will first be available in Europe and the USA, while the APAC market will have to wait until autumn.
Inside the EMCE motor, we therefore find all the passion of the Motor Valley and the renowned skills behind the words “Made in Italy”.

New Moto Guzzi Book Celebrates 100 Years Through Original Stories
100 years of Moto Guzzi history told through the eyes of 10 passionate characters
Begin press release:
Moto Guzzi 100 Years, the editorial work by Rizzoli Illustrati that celebrates the myth of the eagle brand, one of the most innovative, loved and famous motorcycle manufacturers in the world in the year of its hundredth anniversary, was presented in Milan. A volume of great aesthetic elegance that spans a century of history with the contributions of ten authoritative international personalities who celebrate their love for Moto Guzzi. A richly illustrated volume with splendid unpublished images in which the ten authors, distinguished and distant in terms of culture, origin, personal history and training, tell of their passion for splendid Italian motorcycles.
It is the testimony of the uniqueness of Moto Guzzi, a brand that after a hundred years from its birth continues to embody the values of its brilliant founders. Since 1921 every single Moto Guzzi that has traveled the roads of the world has been assembled by hand, with craftsmanship and love for the product in the Mandello del Lario factory. This profound authenticity is the hallmark of every Moto Guzzi and is the value recognized and shared by ten authors around the world: a famous actor, a writer, three passionate journalists, an astronaut, a world-famous architect, a professor at Harvard, a DJ, a great designer. From London to Hollywood, from Tokyo to Sardinia, from Vermont to Mandello del Lario. It is a common thread that binds those who love Moto Guzzi and what these motorcycles represent.
Thus, ideally together talking about love for motorcycles, the writer Melissa Holbrook Pierson, the actor Ewan McGregor, the architect Greg Lynn, the journalists Marco Masetti, Mat Oxley, and Akira Nishimura, DJ Ringo, the designer Tom Dixon, astronaut Paolo Nespoli and Jeffrey Schnapp, the Harvard professor who also edited the volume.
Moto Guzzi reinterprets its first hundred years, with the contribution of these extraordinary authors, while preparing the next hundred, on the strength of a success that marks a second youth. A completely renewed motorcycle range, full of the best electronic driving support technology and projects that are about to blossom, accompany Moto Guzzi towards a future that promises to be no less brilliant than its fantastic past.
The century of Moto Guzzi represents a moment of great pride for the entire Italian industry and what is celebrated is a story lived always looking ahead, with the ability to innovate while remaining faithful to its talents and traditions. It has been a century of splendid motorcycles, of victories, of adventures, of extraordinary characters. Moto Guzzi has signed victories on circuits all over the world, winning 14 World Titles. It was the speed record bike, a symbol of a country’s growth, it was the bike of the Police, the Army and it has extended this vocation also abroad by equipping the Californian Police and, more recently, that of Berlin and many cities of Europe and has always been the bike of the Corazzieri, the elite body that accompanies the President of the Italian Republic.
The Moto Guzzi 100 Years volume (224 pages) is already available in bookstores at the cover price of 80 euros.

MotoGP: Maverick Vinales Requests Termination of Contract With Yamaha Racing
With a passion for racing comes the drive to be the best – and in the case of Maverick Vinales, the passion comes with a bit of drama.
According to reports from MCN and The-Race, Maverick Vinales has just requested an early end to his contract with Yamaha.
Yamaha Racing managing director Lin Jarvis has said in a statement:
“It is with sadness that we will say farewell to Maverick at the end of the year. We are in the middle of our fifth season together, and over the years, we have achieved many highs but also had to manage many lows.”
The news came after a frustrating day for the rider at the Sachsenring German Grand Prix last weekend.
The Spaniard completed his worst round yet, qualifying 21st and finishing the race in last position, with a quote afterward that showed the racer’s frustrations on the matter.
“I always have the same problem, and that is that the rear wheel skids a lot,” Vinales says, frustrated. “I have been saying it since Portimao, and there is no solution. Yes, it is true that we are working, but six races have already passed to find a solution.”….I’m sorry, but with this bike, it’s impossible. When I arrived at Franco [Morbidelli] I overtook quite well. Just in the first try, I overtook him because against a Yamaha, it is much easier, but with the Ducati, it’s so hard.”
Vinales shows his true racer’s spirit with the next admittance:
“I really try to be calm. I try to work; I try to do everything. But the result is the same. And then if you have a Ducati in front of you, the frustration is incredible.”
Understandable when worded like that – and it’s not like Vinales doesn’t have other wins to show.
The rider bagged a pole position and finished second at Assen, just a few days after the unfortunate incident at the Sachsenring.
When it comes to the young rider’s talents, the proof is in the pudding – though the damage is already done for his team.
“After the German GP, which was the most difficult weekend of our partnership, we had important discussions in Assen”, says Jarvis, “and came to the conclusion that it would be in the interest of both parties to go our separate ways in the future.”
Vinales still plans on finishing his remaining time with Yamaha strong, and there is talk of a potential move to Aprilia or Aramco Racing Team VR46 – now signed on with Ducati.
In the meantime, the importance of his time at Yamaha hasn’t been lost on him.
“This partnership has been very significant to me over the last five years, and it proved a difficult decision to part ways. In these seasons together, we experienced both great achievements and tough times. However,”, Vinales admits, “the underlying feeling is of mutual respect and appreciation. I am fully committed and will strive to achieve the best results for the rest of the season.”
Our hats off to the man, and may his drive to ride continue to guide his instincts – both on and off the track.
