Electric Superbike Twente Eclipse-GP
Electric Superbike Twente is a team of Dutch students from the city of Enschede. Each school year, a team of students designs and builds a completely new electric superbike and improve the techniques used previously with innovative ideas. The goal is to show the world that electric mobility is not only sustainable, but also really fun.
The team is currently made up of fourteen students, including eleven full-time. The 2020 project aims to build the third generation superbike, which will be officially presented on May 15th. The second generation motorcycle, the Eclipse-GP, was built by the previous team. The Eclipse-GP is characterized by a high power, about 270 horses; this also led to high weight (230 kg). The Eclipse-GP has not yet been able to show its performance on the track, but it will compete in the 2020 season, along with the new third generation superbike.
