Wayroll EVO Race Edition: more powerful, lighter and ready for the electric vehicles of the future

The MotoE will have a special way to charge to be able to face all the stages of the Championship: the Wayroll EVO Race Edition. An upgrade, compared to the JuiceRoll of the last edition, with many improvements that will allow the motorcycle batteries to charge faster on the grid.

  • More versatile: a big leap forward in the maximum rechargeable voltage, which goes from 500V to 850V to support the design of the new Ducati.

  • Lighter: the new aluminum frame has reduced the MU's weight by 30 kg of the Wayroll EVO Race Edition.

  • More powerful: with respect to the last season, during qualifying between the Q1 and the Q2, the Wayroll Evo Race Edition MU will be used, increasing the recharging power up to 11.4 kW.  Energy that will in part be generated by the solar panels installed inside the MotoE paddock.

MotoE 2023 takes to the track

From March 7-9, in Jerez Circuit the MotoE riders took to the track for three days of intense testing for the teams, marked by rain that slowed the motorcycle track times. The fastest time was Eric Granado who came in at 1:47:053, a good 4 tenths less than the track record set the previous year. It was a first demonstration of the quality of the new Ducati V21L capable of reducing times already in the first test sessions.

The next round of tests will be in Spain on the Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya from April 3-5.
