An Isle of Man-based bike racing team will be competing with electric bikes in the FIM eRoadRacing World Cup.
Darvill Racing will run two factory-supported Brammo machines in the elite eRoadRacing class with additional entries in national championships.
Team Principal Alex Aitchison says he’s been considering a change to ebikes and feels that the time is right to take on the challenge.
Currently in discussion with several guest star riders - the team is expected to announce its line-up and main sponsor shortly.
Alex says the Island events will be a key focus:

Overnight delay means today's sailings will set off late
