The FIM eRoadRacing World Cup is a championship of electric motorcycle road racing, organised by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), held in this form for the first time in 2013. Promoted by TTXGP, the race series follows the unification of the former TTXGP series with the FIM "e-Power" electric motorcycle racing series.

Road map

The road map for the first three years looks as follows:[1]

  • 2013: Following the previous TTXGP format, a four-round European and four-round North American championship will culminate with a single world final. This final will be held in Asia, where a World Cup winner will be crowned.
  • 2014: The format will change, as a transition to becoming a World Championship which will follow a traditional format of accumulated points with no world final. The World Championship will follow a world calendar of at least six events again supporting the FIM’s existing road racing series.
  • 2015: The series is expected to be promoted to a World Championship with its own global calendar.

2013 calendar

The 2013 eRoadRacing World Cup will consist of 4 races in Europe and 4 in North America, with a world final in Asia. While 6 events are already known, 2 more and the final are expected to be announced later.[2]
