Livia Cevolini was 36-years-old when she founded Energica Motor Company, an Italian manufacturer of high-performance electric-motorbikes. Energica is based in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, also known as “Motor Valley” and home to automotive greats Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, and Ducati.

Cevolini says she overcame significant obstacles to achieve success with her company. She has had to work hard to be accepted as an engineer and leader in the historically masculine field of motoring.

Electric racing is taking off. Formula E is on its third season, and the Electric GT Championship is ready to get things underway. For two-wheeled racing, the Isle of Man TT has included an all-electric race, the TT Zero, for years now. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has an Electric Motorcycle class, too, and motocross is seeing more battery powered bikes competing. Next up is MotoGP, which could have an all-electric support class as early as 2019, according to Motorsport.

The world’s most popular motorcycle racing series is adding an all-electric class in 2019: the Electric MotoGP. The championship is exclusively reserved for 1 manufacturer for the first 3 seasons. 3 months ago we heared that Saroléa was also on the shortlist with Energica and Lightning Motorcycles. On September 21th legendary MotoGP rider Loris Capirossi was riding the beautiful SP7 on the track at Aragon in Spain.

“It handled like a MotoGP bike” he told Saroléa after the tests.
