TVS Racing, the racing arm of TVS Motor Company, one of India‘s largest motorcycle manufacturers, has unveiled its brand-new electric motorcycle racing series. Known as the TVS Racing Electric One Make Championship (e-OMC), this marks India’s entry into the electric two-wheeler racing world. The debut is set for September 29, 2023, as part of the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship (INMRC).
The power-to-weight ratio is expected to be the highest in the category
In a bid to focus on the rider’s capabilities, the championship’s Apache RTE electric sportbikes are designed to be identical in specifications. This eliminates machine disparity, putting the spotlight firmly on the skills of the eight racers selected for the series. What sets these bikes apart is their exceptional power-to-weight ratio, which, although undisclosed, is said to be the highest in the category.
While the motorcycles come with high-power cells and liquid-cooled electric motors, what’s truly exciting is the environmental angle this championship introduces. By showcasing high-performance, carbon-fiber-clad electric bikes, TVS Racing is not just innovating but also pushing the envelope for greener motorsports in India and neighboring regions. The series offers an eco-conscious alternative to traditional motorcycle racing, while not compromising on the thrills and skills the sport demands.
Sudarshan Venu, the Managing Director of TVS Motor Company, emphasized the company’s “track to road” philosophy, which implies that technology developed for racing eventually finds its way into consumer vehicles. This series could very well lay the foundation for future electric vehicles in India, simultaneously boosting the popularity of electric vehicles and sustainable practices in motorsports.
