White Motorcycle Concepts WMC250EV: electric speed record

White Motorcycle Concepts WMC250EV
With 100 kW to over 400 km / h

The British motorcycle manufacturer White Motorcycle Concepts relies on extreme aerodynamics for its electric motorcycles. The WMC250EV should demonstrate the efficiency of this approach with a new speed record.

The fear of range always resonates with motorcycles with electric drive. White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) from Great Britain approaches the topic of range from the aerodynamics side. The approach: the lower the air resistance, the greater the range with the same battery capacity. In its considerations, WMC even assumes that the range can be doubled in this way.

In order to underline the effectiveness of the aerodynamic concept, WMC is initially aiming for a new speed record for electric motorcycles. With the WMC250EV, the British want to first break the national speed record in 2021 and then break the absolute speed record in 2022, the current one Max Biaggi on Voxan holds. The goal is to beat the 394.45 km / h mark for partially faired motorcycles. You should drive on a salt lake in Bolivia.

On the record attempt motorcycle: As announced, the WMC250EV relies on a radical aerodynamic concept. The central element is a mighty channel that runs right through the bike. This lowers the air resistance (allegedly by 70 percent), stabilizes the motorcycle at high speeds and significantly increases the contact pressure on the front wheel. The WMC250EV needs that too, because two of the four electric motors are in the front wheel, the other two in front of the rear wheel. The front engines produce 20 kW each, the rear 30 kW each. Despite only 100 kW total output, speeds of over 400 km / h are aimed for.

The low-lying front also determines the swing arm including the stub axle steering. Between the wheels, which are far apart from each other, sits a monument of a battery under the canal. The driver crouches over it, stretched out and crouched low behind the carbon paneling.

The total length is 2.44 meters, the height is only 1.19 meters. Dymag supplies the 17-inch aluminum wheels. They are covered with Pirelli Superbikeslicks in the dimensions 120/70 at the front and 180/55 at the rear. The WMC250EV, which weighs around 300 kilograms, is delayed by a 340 double disc at the front and a 310 single disc at the rear.

In addition, White grants a glimpse into the future. With the WMC300FR model, the knowledge gained will later be implemented in a city three-wheel scooter with hybrid drive – of course with a groundbreaking range. Behind WMC is the British racing engineer Robert White, who also wants to act as a record driver himself. According to his own statements, White can look back on around 25 years of motorsport experience.

opinion poll

How do you feel about the electric motorcycle??

Voted 7 times in 2018

Out of the question for me.

The future of the two-wheeler for urban traffic.

There is no getting around the electric motorcycle.

Conclusion

White Motorcycle Concepts wants to expand the range of electric motorcycles through the aerodynamics approach. A speed record is initially planned to prove its performance, and then an electric city motorcycle will follow in series.
