Dutch electric racing technology company 

 

 

EMX Powertrain transitioned into an independent Dutch electric racing technology company in 2021 and contributes to the sustainable motosport industry worldwide. EMX develops, engineers, and builds high-performance electric powertrain solutions, prototypes and vehicles and is specialized in the engineering and production of complete electric drivetrains for trial, motocross and enduro. Complete electric drivetrain packages by EMX are already being implemented into several power classes.

 

Aided by new perspectives and the extensive experience of its test riders, EMX completed development of the World Cup winning EMX XF30, which became available as limited edition. The XF30 combines the look and feel of proven motocross engineering with the thrill of electric power. The XF30 is the first commercial application to be followed by its successor and a street-legal off road bike.

 

As a true motocross enthusiast and a former racer himself, Elmar Dohms recognized early on that the future of the sport is threatened by outside influences. To continue enjoying the thrill that motocross offers, he decided to develop an electric high performance motocross bike with his engineering company for competitive racing in 2018. In 2019 Dohms Projecten and ELEO Technologies formed a technical collaboration, project EMX Powertrain, and with the support of Yamaha Motor Europe N.V. and the Royal Dutch Motorcyclists Association (KNMV), they tested the EMX Pro, its first prototype and launched it in April 2021. In testing the EMX Pro left great impressions on its professional test riders and proved itself as a promising foundation for the further development of high-performance electric dirt bikes.
