eCRP 1.4 Electric Racebike in Detail

Coming to replace the eCRP 1.2 (2010 Vice World Champion and 2010 European Champion), the new eCRP 1.4 version of the electric racing motorcycle will be the workhorse of the 2011 season and is available for lease by all teams taking part to electric championships such as ePower and TTXGP.

“The eCRP 1.4 is the electric racing motorcycle that strikes a cost-effectiveness balance for competition in electric propulsion racing. CRP Racing has engineered a motorcycle that handles extremely well and has the ability to provide a stable and predictable platform for the rider,” the company says.

The eCRP 1.4 uses a lithium-polymer 7.4Kw/h power supply with the weight of 52 kg optimized for racing use. Proper weight distribution and use of proven racing technology allows the eCRP 1.4 to weigh in at just 160 kg total.

The chassis of the electric racing motorcycle eCRP 1.4, features a cast aluminum frame, welded aluminum swingarm and racing suspensions.

The new electric racing motorcycle eCRP 1.4 will also be equipped with a datalogger and sensors with built-in GPS, a new racing dashboard, dual DC motors that are new for 2011 and integrated air cooling.

The dashboard datalogger can record the values from sensors for front and rear suspensions, the throttle, the control of volts / amps into and out of the controller, monitoring the temperature of the motors (updated 2011) and controller.

All these will be integrated with the GPS that records speed, acceleration and trajectory on time, with the objective of increasing the rider and teams ability to be effective in practice and at the race.

CRP Racing has also released a video showing the eCRP, which you can watch below:
