Electric Motorcycle Charges to Top

Lightning Strikes Again!
A production version of the Electric Superbike has won this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb among two wheelers (both gas and electric) with a time of 10 minutes and 0.964 seconds. The nearest competitor, racing a Ducati Multistrada, finished with a time nearly 20 seconds slower.

Let's clarify: THIS IS BIG. An electric motorcycle in open competition, and a production version to boot, beat all comers, including gas-powered bikes. Electric cars are now regularly competing in Pike's Peak and other races, and it's only a matter of time before other records start falling to EVs.

Renewables West played a bit part in last year's MotoGP, renting out our Mojave-1 mobile solar generator to charge the two Lightning superbikes, one of which won the race. Barracuda Networks sponsored that event and now claims the title: "World's First Zero-Carbon-Footprint Motorcycle Race." We're a part of that history!

    Portable Solar Power Generators are not the norm, but could be... and should be.
    This is where we would like to discuss that with you, and share what we're doing toward that goal.
