As the British team at White Motorcycle Concepts had initially promised, on June 23, 2021 they organized the presentation of their unique aerodynamic design-ready electric motorcycle ready to break world records, the WMC250EV. The event took place at the famous Silverstone circuit. However, due to pandemic restrictions, the event was held online instead of being the in-person gala presentation that WMC was originally hoping for.
Nevertheless, Robert White and his team have not been discouraged, presenting numerous photos and videos that provide clear views on the design of the WMC250EV. It is a hub-mounted, center-steer electric platform with two motors. These motors are also powered by its regenerative braking system while optimally redistributing the weight of the machine, according to Robert White.
We cannot miss the gigantic Venturi conduit which forms both the literal and figurative center of the machine, running from the front to the rear of it. When the pilot is in the gear search position, he sits above this duct. It's especially easy to see how this all comes together in some of the build photos, which show the WMC250EV's innards without any fairings.
As previously reported, Robert White wants to attempt a British record in 2021, followed by a world land speed record attempt in Bolivia in 2022. As a reminder, it is currently 228 MPH (366,93 km/h) and was directed by Max Biaggi on Voxan Wattman. It remains to be seen whether the ambitious WMC250EV will succeed in both of its quests, and we can't wait to see how the project progresses and whether it actually succeeds in breaking the new records it aims to accomplish.
