Source: website EMX Powertrain | Starting as a technical collaboration by Dohms Projecten and ELEO Technologies (The Netherlands), the primary objective of EMX Powertrain was to explore the opportunities for developing an electric alternative to a motocross bike with similar competitive qualities as its existing equivalent. With the support of Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. and the Royal Dutch Motorcyclists Association (KNMV), EMX Powertrain developed and tested the EMX Pro, its first prototype.
Today, EMX Powertrain proudly announces the release of its latest electric motocross bike: the XF30! A hundred XF30’s, part of the first limited series, are now available to be pre-ordered.
After two years of development, EMX Powertrain is ready to unleash the ultimate electric motocross experience. The XF30 has been designed for the purest riding experience. It combines the look and feel of proven motocross engineering with the thrill of electric power. It’s the perfect combination of riding as you know it and clean power.
Combining clean power with proven motocross technology
Combining the best qualities of a motocross bike (X) with the freedom (F) of clean technology, the XF30 offers a unique balance between the thrill of riding and easy handling. The platform in which the 30 kW electric powertrain is fitted has a proven pedigree. The aluminum double beam frame has been fitted with KYB suspension, making sure the feel of the bike will be familiar to an experienced motocross rider. Due to advanced and innovative cooling design, the electric motor and battery are built to deliver on a demand for high power at all times, while it requires limited maintenance, making sure you can keep on riding as much as possible. Truthfully, the XF30 offers a beautifully composed combination of balance and performance.
Elmar Dohms, EMX Powertrain Founder:
“We’re extremely proud to finally show the XF30. I want to thank everyone within EMX Powertrain who worked extremely hard to get where we are. We started drawing up the bike from a blank canvas, developed an electric powertrain, and built a motocross bike showcasing incredible balance and performance. We believe this first limited series will appeal to many early adopters and marks our first step in contributing to the future of the sport. I also would like to point out that the XF30 is the first commercial application of our EMX high-performance powertrain, to be followed by many more, starting with our street-legal bike in 2024.”
